How to change default group when user registers

I apologize if this has been answered before -- I searched the forums with "register", "default", and "group" in various permutations for 30 minutes but I could not find it.

I am using v2.0.5, and I can't figure out how to change the default group that users are put in when they register.

Can anyone help?

This cannot be changed, unfortunately. The users are always registered to a group with an ID defined for XOOPS_GROUP_USERS in mainfile.php of your site.

All you'd have to do is change the XOOPS_GROUP_USERS value to the new default group number, theoretically. I'm not sure if this would mess anything up in the XOOPS core, but I think that should do the trick.

Good luck!

I noticed those lines in Mainfile.php before, and they concerned me at that time. If I want to add new groups, should they also get global defines for them, like this:

define('XOOPS_GROUP_ADMIN', '1');
define('XOOPS_GROUP_USERS', '2');
define('XOOPS_GROUP_ANONYMOUS', '3');
define('XOOPS_GROUP_STAFFWRITER', '4');

Do these have to be added manually, or are they unnecessary?
