Hi GreenDome,

I was going to say that you could follow the instructions that the previous posters made in order to change the group assignment for users that are already in your database, but then I just decided to add an onLoginUser event to the K2 User plugin.

What this event does is it checks the user after they have logged in to see if a K2 User Record already exists for the user or not. If there isn't one, then it will add them into the appropriate group. If they have one then it just continues on.

The way I made my initial changes meant that the group assignment would only work for NEW users, and not for existing ones, but now with this change it should work for both automatically, foregoing the need to open up phpMyAdmin and running the queries mentioned by the previous posters.

Hi Omar,

I appreciate the updated version - thank you.

Just one small one question :) Do i need to change anything in the k2.php file to set my new default group?

Many Thanks
GD

Just open up the K2 user plugin within the Joomla backend so you can choose the group you want to use as the default...that should do the trick for setting the default group.

Omar, Brilliant, thanks! Just what I was looking for. I was using Community Builder's login and needed this to update the K2 user group.
