Hi,

Here its my situation:

i am making a code who create groups, for that i am using the groups table:

"insert into di082_groups
                (id,courseid,name,description,enrolmentkey,descriptionformat) values (default,$arr[0],'$this->grupo','','',1)");

It works well it inserts the register. But when i go to the course and try to add an user on that group. it doesnt appears on the selection scream.

 

For example on the curse i created manually the group 2, and group 1 by code. and it only appears 2.

 

 

what other table do i have to write?? i hope some one can help me.

You should always try to use Moodle API for doing things. This is a working example:

 
require_once($CFG->dirroot.'/group/lib.php');

$data = new stdClass();
$data->courseid = idcourse;
$data->idnumber = someidnumber;
$data->name = 'group name';
$data->description = 'group description';
$data->descriptionformat = FORMAT_HTML;

$newgroupid = groups_create_group($data);

HI, thanks for the help, i tried to do what you said:

                require_once('/ruteserverxxxx/moodle2/group/lib.php');
                
                $data = new stdClass();
                $data->courseid = $arr[0];
                $data->id = 'default';
                $data->name = $this->grupo;
                $data->description = 'group description';
                $data->descriptionformat = 'FORMAT_HTML';
                //$DB->insert_record('group', $data, false);
                echo "antes de: $this->grupo - $arr[0]<br>";
                $id=groups_create_group($data);

 

But it throws me this mistake:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_record() on a non-object in /rutemyservermoodle/group/lib.php on line 223

what am i making wrong

When writing a Moodle code you must start a page with this:

require('/some/path/to/moodle/config.php');

and than add the code I posted. Including config.php initializes Moodle enviroment and prepares all basic core API for use.

Hi Darko

Thanks for your code posting it has been very useful!

if possible could you please advise some sample code to add a user to a group with the function groups_add_member() from the group lib code.

Many thanks

Roger

Hi Roger

Thats quite simple, you just have to pass group id and userid as parameters,


require_once($CFG->dirroot.'/group/lib.php');

groups_add_member($groupid, $userid);


Cheers

Jaswant
