User registerd with code into a role

Gravity Support Forums » Plugin Support » Gravity Forms User Registration Add-On

    Good day -
    Is it possible or what would be the best way to:
    Concept: Have a user with a code fill out a registration form adding the code and then be placed into the role matching that code.

    For example -
    I am setting up a club site. When people from different Club Names (code) come to the site and sign up they need to enter the club name in a field and go to the unique user role associated with that Club Name. There they will be showed unique content etc...

    Is there a way to do that? Any suggestions welcome please. Really appreciate it!

    You could do this with one form and multiple User Registration feeds. You can enable a "registration condition' where you can say, in effect, "If code entered was 'this', register the user." You would create one feed for each code, and enable the registration condition to run this feed only when this code is entered. Then, in each feed, the default role is different. So, if you have four codes, you would have 4 feeds, each with a registration condition dependent on that value being entered, and each feed would have a different role.

    You probably need a catch-all role too for anyone who did not enter a code or whose code was incorrect.

    Got a bit stuck.
    I've created the form with a required single line text field called "Code". Added the required Username/Email Address as well as password.
    Created the Feed with the Action to Create User > Selected Correct Form > Created the Role > Mapped the User Settings Fields correctly. Checked Send Email/User Activation. Enabled the Registration Condition with the setting "Register the user if Code is Test".

    Everything goes well until the user activates the link in their activation email. Then they are redirected to the site and it says "An error occurred. Could not create user."
    I get the same failure if I go and attempt to try to activate them on the Pending Activations tab - fails.

    If I turn off the Registration Condition everything works - the user is created and goes to the correct role. So I know the error is in the Registration Condition. What do you think?
    Let me know and thanks again a bunch.

    Which version of the User Registration add-on are you using? And which version of WordPress and Gravity Forms do you have installed?

    I have a logging add-on I can send to you which may help debug this. Please send and email to chris@rocketgenius.com if you would like a copy of it.
