Ever wanted that your users become authors rightafter registering , whithout needing that you make them manually? There's a neat and simple Corepatch that you can do.
here is how : *CAUTION* this is Joomla Corehack! This is tested with Joomla 1.0.0 -1.0.9, but upon update you must redo this procedure. (In future versions this could not work - this is a Corehack golden rule) 1. Locate the following file: SERVER_ROOT/components/com_registration/registration.php 2. open it in your favorite editor (mine is definetly notepad2) 3. Search for the string : 'Registered', 4. Replace it with: 'Author', 5. Take a short breath in and save  6. all new users will be authors! PS: the whole line looks like this: Before: $row->gid = $acl->get_group_id( 'Registered', 'ARO' ); After: $row->gid = $acl->get_group_id( 'Author', 'ARO' );
