Snippet- Entering Exiting Groups

Permalink January 03, 2009 at 12:08 AM

Heres my little contribution in dealing with adding and/or removing users from groups. This function will remove from all groups and add to the group that the function is called with. Pretty simple I know but I spent a few dealing with how to do this properly..

private function ChangeGroup($newgroup)
    {
       $user = User::getByUserID($this->user_id);
       $groups = $user->getUserGroups() ;
        foreach ($groups as $gID => $groupname)
        {   
            $group = Group::getByID($gID);
            $user->exitGroup($group);
        }
        Loader::model('search/group'); 
        $gs = new GroupSearch($_GET);
        $gResults = $gs->getResult("");  //blank to get all... 
        foreach ($gResults as $g) {
         if ($g['gName'] == $newgroup)
         {

Can you please explain how you implemented it?

Yes, do you have an example of how to implement it into the website. I am looking for functionality to allow users ability to add/remove themselves to/from any existing group. Any help is welcome, I'm not very savvy with C5 yet.
