Since I just made a script to change the user's money, I thought I would go ahead and make one to change their usergroup as well. This seems especially useful if you have a group for people who donate or contribute to the site and you want to automatically change their usergroup when they buy something or whatever.
first, add this function to the page functions/functions_users.php:
PHP Code:
function changeusergroup($newusergroup, $user) {
$currentusergroup = $newusergroup;
if ($currentusergroup >= 0) {
$GLOBALS['adopts']->update("users", array("usergroup" => $currentusergroup), "username = '{$user}'");
return true;
}
return false;
}
I placed mine under the function 'changecash' because they are so closely related.
then make a new page for the script. I called mine changeusergroup.php but you can call yours whatever you like!
PHP Code:
<?php
include("functions/functions.php");
include("functions/functions_users.php");
include("functions/functions_adopts.php");
include("functions/functions_friends.php");
include("functions/functions_items.php");
include("inc/lang.php");
include("inc/bbcode.php");
//***************//
// START SCRIPT //
//***************//
$newgroup= 1;
if($isloggedin == "yes"){
changeusergroup($newgroup, $GLOBALS['username']);
$article_title = "Hello, {$username}!";
$article_content = "You are now in usergroup {$newgroup}.";
}
else{
$article_title = "You are not logged in!";
$article_content = "You must be logged in to view this page!";
}
//***************//
// OUTPUT PAGE //
//***************//
echo showpage($article_title, $article_content, $date);
?>
When they get to this page, their usergroup will change to the variable $newgroup. For my example, i set it to 1, which would make them an administrator. You'll want to change the number to the group id for your premium member group or whatever you want to change them to!
