This is in no way a critical question, and I'm not asking anyone to do it for me, but I was thinking about this as I was updating user permissions today.
I run a site for the Wisconsin chapter of the CVMA (combat veterans motorcycle association). We are a nation wide organization with chapters in every state, so there are quite literally thousands of members, with the chance of getting thousands of registrations. Here's my idea:
I was wondering if I could make a registration form, which would automatically assign that new user to the proper user group. As of now I have the groups set up as
public registered > supporter/auxiliary > other chapter full member > chapter full member > officer
Each member is assigned a member number, being the PR officer for the chapter, I have access to these numbers. What I was thinking was a drop down for registration type, but upon choosing chapter full member or officer, they must input their member number, which if correctly validated would instantly add them to the full member or officer user group.
for the others:
Other chapter full members would input which chapter they belong too, and upon verifying from their claimed chapter will allow them access as a member of another chapter... while waiting for the verification they would be considered public. members of other chapters have access to national information on our site, which is not for public eyes.
auxiliary members are full members wives/husbands. selecting this the person registering would send a message to their "sponsor" for them to verify, once verified they get access.
The reason for the different levels is obviously we deal with things that not everyone needs access too.. our chapter has it's own business which other chapters and auxiliary/supporter members and the public don't need to see, auxiliary members participate in our events, usually handling registration and the money, so they would need access to very few things that the public doesn't, but they still warrant needing their own permissions.
So, since I've thoroughly confused everyone, is this something chronoforms can handle, or am I looking at having to create a completely custom registration component?
