Blog Documentation Book a Demo

New members are given moderator and admin roles by default

in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

Hi,
I recently imported a forum from phpBB3 into the latest stable version of Vanilla, and I've got a problem: New members who confirm their email are automatically assigned the Members, Moderators, and Administrator roles by default.

From the inconclusive googling I did, it looks like you can edit that in conf/config.php, but I have no idea what to change in the Default Roles line (if that's what you need to change). Here it is from my config.php:
$Configuration['Garden']['Registration']['DefaultRoles'] = 'a:8:{i:0;s:1:"2";i:1;s:1:"4";i:2;s:1:"6";i:3;s:1:"8";i:4;s:2:"16";i:5;s:2:"18";i:6;s:2:"20";i:7;s:2:"21";}';

Would appreciate any help.

    Install another version of the latest stable version of Vanilla, which is 2.0.18.10. Now you know the default roles in config.php and you can match / replace those roles in your phpbb conversion config.php.

    Your default role IDs in your phpbb config are : 2, 4, 6, 8, 16, 18, 20 and 21 and that's a bit too much for a default role.
    Match them in your database, so you know which roles to take out of that config.

    if member is id 8 and you want your default role to be member.

    $Configuration['Garden']['Registration']['DefaultRoles'] = 'a:1:{i:0;s:1:"8";}';

    You can also set the default roles through the dashboard at http://forum.exampl.com/dashboard/role/defaultroles.
