can someone make a plugin, so when you post a a "introduction thread" as a new thread it will auto put you into a members group. ;D
or if there is already one made could you point me to it, sorry if it is already made i couldent find it.
What do you need this for?
I'm asking because you can already do something pretty similar with post count based membergroups and permissions...

I get people to post a intro, before i give them the member group. but some members post all over the forums without posting a intro and I don't want them being in the member group if they don't post in the introduction thread.
As I thought, this can be done using permissions only ;)
Some useful readings:
http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Permissions
http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Permissions_-_How_do_I_set_up_post-count_based_membergroup_permissions
Basically, you need to activate permissions for post count based membergroups *AND* the "Deny" permissions --> ACP --> Permissions --> Settings
Then you need to create a Permissions profile to your "Introduction" boards. Copy that profile from Default and apply it to said board.
Then you need to create a post-count based membergroup with 1 post.
Finally you need to edit the "Default" permissions profile and, to the membergroup "Newbie" (the membergroup with 0 posts) you DENY the permission to create topics and reply to posts.
And that's it. Those members cannot post anywhere until they post in your Introductions board ;)
