Any way/plugin to automatically change a members group based on an action?

Question

I'm wondering if there is a way to change a users/registered members group based on them performing an action?

At the moment members register into a default group. If that member submits a specific entry via a channel form I would like to change their member group. Is there a way to automate this? Plugin or otherwise?

Answer 1

I'm not aware of anything available publicly at this time, but I think a custom extension could be built to accommodate using the following hook:

Channel Form Hook {submit_entry_end} - triggered after a channel form is submitted

Requires EE 2.7.0+

Answer 2

I wrote a plug-in to do this some time back for EE1.x, should be pretty easy to upgrade to EE2.x if you want to fork it...

Of course, use with caution!
