how to add a user to a group

[mtrivino]

Hello everyone,

I wanna add a user to a group after he's completed a task, so I was wondering if there's a method for that, i.e., given a user and a group, I want to add the user to the group.

I know I could just go ahead and write a database query, but I'm guessing there's an elegant way...

Any ideas?

Thanks.

The following should work:
JUserHelper::addUserToGroup($userId, $groupId);

Actually for the changes to be saved you would have to this:

Code: Select all

$user = JFactory::getUser($user_id);
JUserHelper::addUserToGroup($user_id, $group_id);
$user->save();

This has been tested.

Hello Ratmil,

thanks a lot. I guess I just didn't know where to look.

Cheers,
