TOPIC: Default Auto-Created User Group not working

Hi.

I have a problem when using the "Joomla User Auto-Creation".

I hvare set DT Register to set the default user group to "Registered", but they all new users are placed inside the "Public" user group.

What am I doing wrong?

Do you have "Allow User Registration" enabled in Joomla itself? I am assuming you do, just thought I would ask.

Yes, I have.

Sorry... I did not read far enough down your post otherwise that would have been an obvious answer. If you create another group and apply the auto user creation to that new group does it change anything or does it keep it public? Just making sure that the new test group that you create actually gets populated on the DT side.

Probably not related but after an upgrade, I noticed some issues that required me to "repopulate" certain configuration fields in DT, even though it was displaying my configuration correctly. After repopulating and re-applying those fields, things began working.

Also I notice there is a 2.8.2b looks like on Nov 5. Is this the version you are using?

First, make sure the "Registered" group is selected for the default user group assignment in configuration and re-save configuration.

Second, any user group selected inside of the event next to the auto-user creation area will override the global setting. So if you want it to use what is set globally, make sure no group is selected within the event then re-save the event.
