Is there any way to add users to a group from the back end?
I am setting up an IPN handler on my subscription site and I need to add a function that automatically adds users to a "subscribers" group after their payment is 'verified'.
any help??

add en event for when the payment is verified. hook into it, and add the passed user into the group.
http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/developers/system/events...

something like
in the file that changes status to verified
Events::fire('on_user_verified_payment', $u);
// $u should be the user that verified the payment

in a package controller
public function on_start() {
      Events::extend('on_user_verified_payment', 'UserVerified', 'group', 'path/to/a/model/user_verified.php');
      }

in the model thats referenced in the event extend method
class UserVerified{
public function group($u){
$group = Group::getByName('name of group you want to add users to');
$u->enterGroup($group);
}
}

just a quick sketching out of the code involved.

Thank you VERY VERY much... This is exactly what I was looking for. I am still learning php, so it will take me a while to test it out, but it should work. THANK YOU AGAIN!!!
