Hi. You cannot do this using K2 out of the box. You need to write a K2 plugin. Of course this assumes that you are familiar with programming.

Hi Lefteris,
I think this is a very needed feature for K2 and I for one would purchase such a plugin, any chance that you could develop one for us.

What's the use case for this? I mean that K2 has an option on administration group to define the default K2 user group for new users. This should be enough, you do not want your users to select the group they will be registered. Remember that different groups may have different permissions on front-end editing etc.

Form my case, i need this for permissions to different categories. When user choose a group, he will can post articles in certain category ONLY.
The site will be big and there is no option to do this manual.

This is very special situation. Ther code you need to modify is located in two files:
1. The register.php layout where you need to place the groups the user needs to select
2. The K2 user plugin which is the one that saves the user to the predefined user group.

Hi Lefteris,
I think mine is a similar scenario to Rambo, I was thinking of trying to use K2 as a Directory using different categories for different Directory types but maybe JReviews or Mossets tree is a easier option. But it's a shame K2 can't be used for this. Would really like to see a Tutorial showing the code needed to add to register.php layout & in the user plugin.
thx in advance Pete

Hi,
this plugin is very important in k2
i need it because im creating a community site for education
When a user is going to register he will choose is category such as, student, teacher, Marketing, Hostel Posting, or general user
it will help user to have select there category and submit posting to only there relevant category
if admin do this in the absence of plugin. then admin has to ask every user, for there category which is difficult for large site
Thanks
Same concepts can be apply on different scenario
such as car market, Blogging,

Yes i agree. i have Extendreg that gives this ability. However, doesn't work with K2.
This is a key feature that a lot of people would utilize.
