I'm using exp:user:register, the group_id parameter (https://www.solspace.com/docs/user/register/#group_id), but it's being ignored. I see in the documentation that "This parameter respects native EE account activation settings," so does this mean I can't set group_id as long as I have email activation set?
In EE Member Preferences, there's "Default Member Group Assigned to New Members" that is being used instead. But I'd like to override this using exp:user:register. Possible?
What is your Require Member Account Activation? Setting in Members > Preferences jphansen??
If it's self activation, the group_id parameter should override your Default Member Group Assigned to New Members once the user activates via the supplied link in their email.
If its No Activation required, then it should add the user to that user group on registration.
Otherwise (Manaul Admin activation), I'm not sure but I beleive the admin activation process is for the admin to move the user from the 'pending' group to the relivent (selected by admin) group, ergo no need for this field.
SolSpace (the user here) should chip in soon, so will be able to help if it's not going as above...
