First - I did not realize that RC4 was out- I will upgrade tomorrow.

Second - if this question is stupid, please forgive me

Here's what I have going on:
1. I've added a custom group ('Partner') that is a child of the 'Registered' group (jos_core_acl_aro_groups).
2. I've added a field to the CB registration form called 'cb_usertype'.
3. Upon registration, I've hacked comprofiler.class.php to check the added field and if it's a certain value ('Partner'), run an extra query to set the user's GID to the 'Partner' GID.

It's works, BUT (and I'm finally getting to the question), when the user registers and activates, they appear in the "Registered" group in the CB user list (and also the Joomla user list). If I 'edit' the user in the CB user manager, the group then appears correctly and if I 'save' without changing anything, the user appears the correct group in the CB and Joomla user list.

There must me some follow-up/secondary function (in the admin section?), but I'm all grepped out - where should I be looking?

Thanks,
Chris

PS - can't wait for proper ACL in Joomla 1.6 - that makes all of this moot

Sorry can't give support for hacks

Riiight. If you have a non-hack method for group access control, I'm all ears

Turns out I needed to update the core_acl_groups_aro_map table with the proper aro_id.
