Secondary groups acting as primary (MC Side)

[TruDan]

A feature i'd like to see in this plugin will be for the "secondary groups" on the forums to act as "Primary" in Minecraft, e.g. so only one is set. Or, sync them so only have the in-game groups the same as forums, rather than "stacking" them. as i use secondary groups in xenforo to do users actual ranks.

When a player joins, they will be in "default" in-game. then when regsitering, they also become in "Member" i want it so they go into "Member" but not default. with PermissionsBukkit, this is simply by using "setrank" rather than "player addgroup"

could this be a possibility?

I'd also like to see this feature added, though maybe I can help elaborate on how it should be implemented.

Xenforo uses a point system to determine which rank has the highest priority - the "display styling priority."

As of XF1.1 or 1.2, Xenforo now has its own user upgrade system. The problem is the system does not modify a user's primary rank - it only adds/removes secondary ranks.

So, a setting (for xenforo) that checks all primary and secondary groups and then updates a user's in-game rank according to the group with the highest styling priority would do exactly as requested by the OP, assuming he configures his XF groups correctly.

Xenforo does some pretty interesting things with its group management. I'll have to study this further. :)

Awesome! :)

Also, i'm not sure whether this would class as another issue or not, but is is possible to add a "where" clause on the primary group. e.g. i only want the plugin to change the rank of users where "activated" is 1, because members dont need to confirm their forum account at the moment in order to be promoted

@TruDan: I recommend making it a separate request. :)
