Importing Users then assigning k2 groups
Is there a good way to assign users to a group that have no k2 group association? I'm migrating a site from joomla 1.0, so I imported the old users and installed K2. I now have about 1000 users with no k2 group association but would like them to all go to a group I made. I'd rather not go through every user and assign them a group, it's rather time consuming and time is money!

GreenDome said:Hi Omar,
I appreciate the updated version - thank you.
Just one small one question :) Do i need to change anything in the k2.php file to set my new default group?
Many Thanks

Omar Ramos said:Hi GreenDome,
I was going to say that you could follow the instructions that the previous posters made in order to change the group assignment for users that are already in your database, but then I just decided to add an onLoginUser event to the K2 User plugin.
What this event does is it checks the user after they have logged in to see if a K2 User Record already exists for the user or not. If there isn't one, then it will add them into the appropriate group. If they have one then it just continues on.
The way I made my initial changes meant that the group assignment would only work for NEW users, and not for existing ones, but now with this change it should work for both automatically, foregoing the need to open up phpMyAdmin and running the queries mentioned by the previous posters.

Omar, Brilliant, thanks! Just what I was looking for. I was using Community Builder's login and needed this to update the K2 user group.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I'm not so experienced with Firebug nor CSS. I attached a new image, where one can see more information. Does this help a bit more?
Whatever is done will modify the core, but will work.
How about putting the category id's in a field like the xtra filelds and teach the core to parse them out.
Its changing the way things work - not likely to happen unless a module like followeyes…
I don't think the concept of the single-category per item content structure is a way of thinking that is advanced and, therefore, a reason to change the content construction strategy and our subsequent way of thinking. It is merely a huge limitation…

you can get the extra fields like this if it suits your needs
$custom = $this->item->extra_fields;
and then addressing extra fields for the item like
echo $custom[1]->value; depending on the position, 0, 1,2,3,4 etc in the array
experiment with this…

Viktoria (and Simon),
Did you ever find out how to put one single extra field (not the whole bunch...) a different place than at the bottom of the article?
