The task is to fix the template so that a person signing up may choose from two of the four usergroups. I have been able to put in a select box that allows all four choices but how do I set that up to only show 2 of them? The four user groups are: guest, member, admin, webmaster The two I want to be allowed from signup are: member, guest It would be fine to set up radio buttons or select box but I am at a loss as to how to set it up and pass that info through script to database.

It makes no sense at all to say you want to allow people to sign up as guests. That is self-contradictory, a guest is by definition not a member (though unvalidated members gave the same permissions as them).
New members are always registered to usergroup #2 for security reasons. If they could register in other groups, then someone could write a script to post that info to join the group of their choice.

is there perhaps a way to use two separate links to register? one for member and one for webmaster? each link would lead to a different signup form with some kind of switch or hidden field to designate what kind of user they are to be?
