One of the problems I used to have with my older jamroom site (over a year ago), and am having now with this one is when most people signup with a social media account through the oneall module, they don't choose an account type, maybe assuming they don't need to since they don't have to fill in the signup form, this actually happens a lot, is there a way to make the user select one, whether they fill in the form to signup, or use a social media account (oneall)? I think this would go along way in making sure the right account type is choosen for each user.

Thank you

Using the Form Designer to set a default value and/or make the field 'required' might do it.

I have no idea where to begin with that @paul, not very good at these things unfortunately.

As admin, goto http://yoursite.com/user/signup and click on the Form Designer button top right.

Thank you, good video, but for someone who already has some experience, it was not relevant to what I was trying to do, I will just leave it as it is.

I assume @douglas mostly supports the design part of JR, so I will ask if he has a walk through for this.

The problem here is that SOME of your users are going to "signup" on your LOGIN page - NOT your signup page, and those users are going to be placed in your default quota.

If they are on the SIGNUP page and decide to not click on the select element, whatever is the default quota will be selected.

So just make sure your default Quota is the one you want users to be in by default - most of your OneAll users will end up there.

Hope this helps!
