IM looking at doing the same.
- Currently we have (excluding guest/sitecrew/ex-members groups) two groups in operation.
- 'Provisional Member' which is a default pre-validation group members go into first.
- Then upon validation (automatic email verification) the go into the 'members group'
However what I would like to be able to to do is to is have a third group between these two 'new members' from which people would be promoted into 'members' after five posts. Hence prior to there first five posts the user could have limited access.
I can make the group, and i can set the promotion point.
But what i cant seem to do is set where newly validated members go (ie, to newmembers not members) and tests seem to show the promotion point doesnt work. (ive tried seting it to promote on one post more than i have, posting, and seeing if i move)
This is with version 2.3.6 for what its worth, although we're planing a upgrade to 3.0.# soon.
