I wish their was a way to put my members in to groups automatically when the register based on their profile settings. For example, ladies to the left, men to the right. Please reply

Why would you need to do that? You would want members to have different permissions based on gender?

For a girls and boys only forum, for gossip

lol

Sorry I said anything but actually yes. My site is a online yeshiva and I do not allow the men to create new posts in the womans forum but only reply.

No worries.

I don't know of any easy way to enforce that with the software. You could set up Eve so that you are notified of new registrations, then manually add them to the proper group. That could be a task and a half though, depending on how many users register per week.

The way to do this would be to create a women's power groups and a mens power group. Apply rights in the forums as required. You would have to be in a men's or women's group in order to post. Simple site membership would not be enough.

You would have to populate the power groups manually. If you are asking people gender at registration, you could run the member filter for this and make the job quite fast in the group builder (click the advanced icon). Otherwise you will have to recognize names and hope there are no confusing ones.

To directly answer your question Eliyahu:

No, there is no way built into Eve to automatically assign a user to a group.

With that said you could use a custom php or perl script to do it, but the problem there would be that the user is cached in memory and any changes you made directly to the database may not show up in the application and this could cause extreme cases of inconsistency. There may be a way to clear the in memory cache by having your script submit a fake form to the control panel that would clear the cache, but I am not 100% that this would clear the in memory user cache.
