tekguru Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I've been trying to get user Promotion working whereby I wish to upgrade users with more than 100 posts and move them into a different group. It all appears to be set correctly but no promotion are taking place. Is this because: a) I need to turn something on - wondering as I can't see any scheduled Promotion task,. b) We're running a test system and the users concerned have not logged on and posted, I'm wondering if the mechanism is triggered by a new posting by a user who meets the criteria. Anyone know and can clarify for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyF Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Posted in feedback so I can't be really specific (as its outside the Resource forums) 1. No, nothing to switch on as such assuming you've set it properly. 2. Triggered by a new post, not a task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekguru Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 Cheers Andy thanks for that - it is working but promoting the users to a secondary group. Just now got to find the settings to change that so it promotes to a primary - I know it is in there somewhere :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3DKiwi Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Ditto what Andy says. They won't get promoted until they post a new post. It's possible to run a MySQL query to change member groups based on how many posts that they have. I did this when I added a new regular member group and changed the default user group to a new user group. The new user group then has some restrictions. 3DKiwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekguru Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 Right makes sense now so I can live with that, cheers for the clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
