how to populate a user group with non-subscribers?

Hello all,

When a user subscribes to a plan, I assign them to the user group "CB Subscribers." I know how to do this by editing the subscription plan under the access tab. What I do not know how to do (or know if it's possible) is to manage another user group called "Not CB Subscribers." Basically, I want every registered user to be in one or the other group at any given time. That way when they navigate to a page, they either see one module (for subscribers) or another module (for nonsubscribers). Can this be done?

(If not, my plan will be to write a pgp script to read whether a user is in the CB Subscriber group and use that to assign or remove them from the Non CB Sub group.)

Joomla 3.4.3
CB 2.0.10
CSubs 4.0.0

You can certainly do this manually from CB User Manager if you are latest CB 2.0.10 and CBSubs 4.0.1.

Just use the Search button to filter by the plan you want and then the Batch Tools to assign extra group to filtered users.

Yes but I would like this to happen automatically. When a non-subscriber goes to Page X, I want them to see Module 1 but not 2; when they subscribe and go to Page X, I want them to see Module 2 but not 1. The admin should not have to make this change manually.

Shall I assume this cannot be done? I would think it would be simple enough.

I am looking into the Advanced Module Manager extension which may allow me to do what I need as far as modules are concerned - but it would add flexibilty to CBSubs if the act of subscribing could automatically exclude a user from one or more groups, not just include.

You should be able to setup CBSubs so it places subscribers in a specific joomla user group.

Than you can create 2 joomla ACL views - one that has the extra user group and one that only has registered user group.

Then just publish your modules appropriately.

If my previous reply does not help you with your use case, you can use CB Auto Actions to do exactly what you want and remove user from a joomla group if subscription fires.
