This module is add-on for the Organic Groups module designed to facilitate users in joining a specific group upon registration (or afterwards as a member) on sites that have a number of groups that is too large to easily browse through or show in the registration form.

A new user will be auto-approved as member of a group when they supply a group code at registration. You may combine this feature with the usual use of groups in the registration form. Users may also visit the "Use group code" page to join a group using a code.

Registration codes are only valid for groups that are "Open" or "Moderated". For moderated groups, the membership will still need to be approved by a group manager. Codes cannot be used to join groups that are "Invite only" or "Closed".

The group registration codes are added into the "invite friend" e-mail message, and are also viewable on each user's account page.

Registration codes may be made required or optional on the user registration page. Users who register and join a group by using a code may optionally be assigned an additional role. Finally, the registration codes can be reset so that a new
set is generated and all previous codes are invalidated. Resetting the codes has no effect on already subscribed users.
