    I’ve looked through the forums and am unable to find what is probably an easy answer. I’d like to be able to do the following:

    - Create a member group for each school district I work with (I want to limit content based upon district affiliation)
    - Create multiple registration forms for each member group

    I created a standalone registration form that works (based upon this Wiki Entry). But, the form only creates one general member type.

    Question: What do I need to insert into the standalone form to register a member into a specific group (district A, district B, etc)? Do I put the group ID into a hidden value as in the following:

    <input type="hidden" name="ACT" value="groupID" />

    Thanks in advance and I apologize if this answer is already out there.

    Maybe I can clarify my request. I want to be able to accomplish the following:

    - Create a member signup form that adds a member to a specific member group
    - Create member specific content that requires membership into a specific member group
    - Create a login that directs a member to the correct template based upon login and member group

    I tried using the SAEF, but am willing to pursue any course of action.

    Thanks in advance for any help on this.

    Hi

    I know this is an old post, but I’m looking for the same answer and can’t find it.

    I want to use a radio button selector on a SAEF Registration form to allow the user to specify which group they want to belong to. What parameters need to be added to the SAEF to accomplish this?

    If anyone knows the answer to this, can you please let me know asap?

    Thanks in advance.

    Solspace’s User module lets you specify member groups—worst case, you’d need to build a form for each member group you’d want to assign a member to.

    Documentation can be found here.
