CALGUY - Help please!!!

Hi,
I have a client that I am using cms made simple along with FEUsers. The way I have it set up right now is this:  a new member pays with paypal, which then my client manually adds a user/password and assigns to 1 of 2 groups.  Then she emails the  new member their username and password.

This is what I need but I don't know how to do this step by step: Allow for self registration providing that the new member has paid through paypal.  This way my client won't have to manually add users and send them their info.

There are two types of membership - partial membership at price A and full membership at price B.

Is there a way to set this up and if so, please talk to me like I'm in third grade :P
I've been doing web dev for several years, I'm no noob, but I can't seem to get my way around this particular need.

Thanks for your help!

well there's no way to automate it 100% right now, but it can be 90% automated.

A.  Create three groups in feusers....... Unpaid, Partial, and Full  and setup the properties for each group and their sort order.
B.  Set the selfreg tag like this {cms_module module=SelfRegistration gruop=Unpaid}

The user can then register himself with all of the details (email address, state, gender, social security number, address, mothers maiden name, birth date, name of first born, etc, etc).  and will automatically be added to the Unpaid group.

Then when the admin receives payment, he can just go in and edit the appropriate user, and change the group memberships without having to enter any of the other information.

You can use the customcontent module to customize the content for members of certain groups.

Thanks for the quick reply!!!!!   That sounds like it will work a lot better than the current method.  I hadn't thought of using an unpaid user.  Much easier.  As far as the users social security number and mothers maiden name, how would I go about having that show up to the public?  ;D

Thanks again.  I'll try to implement this next week and I'll let you know how it went.
