Is there any way to automatically add registered users to a k2 user group. Without using the k2 login module.

I am testing social login which creates a new user when people login to my joomla site through facebook, twiter and other social media. So it would be great if K2 just automatically added this user to a k2 user group.

this is exactly what i would like to do, were you able to find a solution?

Hi. K2 handles this using Joomla! plugin events. So if your extension triggers the "onAfterStoreUser" event K2 should automatically add the user to a K2 group. Please let me know if that solves your issue.

i have the exact same issue with facebook and k2 user groups.

can't figure head or tail as to what i'm suppose to do with "onAfterStoreUser" or the joomla event. Anyone care to explain in layman terms?

I have the same problem on my site.
Can someone fix this?

I am using a third external login for joomla, and the new user would show up on the K2 user list, but the K2 user group is empty, other than the default group I set

K2 assigns automatically new users to a K2 group. You just need to ensure that you have selected the target group under K2 parameters.

Hi,

new user would show up on the K2 user list, but the K2 user group is empty
