User Group Automatic Approval, and removal.

[kastnerd]

I would like to have a code to give out to make a user a temporary member of a group.

I was thinking using a coupon code or maybe a Gift Certificates or possibly use a custom code.

What i want is i give a code to a customer. The go on my site, register an account. Enter in this code (i would want different codes so they can only be used once) And then they become a member of a user group call "Temp1" After the user checks out they are then removed from this group.

I was thinking maybe a code like "If gift certificate name=test1 Then add user to user group"

And on check out "If user is in user group test1, remove user"

This user group should only contain users who have not checked out using this discount code.


I posted a similar question a few weeks ago and have still not found the solution.

Something like viewtopic.php?f=42&t=8215
Ablecommerce API to validate Members on the fly might work, But these users may be registered already. So if i have a field where they can enter a code and become a member on the fly with out me approving them this is what im looking for.

I have tested that if i add products to my cart then become a member of a group. The prices will be reduced.

Do you think its possible to have some soft of codes that will add the user to a group. Then remove them from the group after the check out? If its possible i will have my developer work on it. Any suggestions to the developers?
