How to create User Group Progamatically Topic is solved

[cscotthosting]

Hello,
I have seen a bunch of examples in google searches and here on how to add a user to Joomla 5.
However, I am in need of adding the creation of a User Group when a user is created, progamatically.

Can someone assist with the code to create a User Group.

Thanks

Welcome to Joomla forum!

In Joomla 5 you can probably create a new User Group with something like the code below:

Code: Select all

use Joomla\CMS\Factory;
use Joomla\Component\Users\Administrator\Model\GroupModel;

$group = [
    'id' => 0, 
    'title' => 'Your new User Group Name', 
    'parent_id' => 1
];

Factory::getApplication()->bootComponent('com_users');
$model = new GroupModel;

if (!$model->save($group)) {
    Factory::getApplication()->enqueueMessage($model->getError(), 'error');
    return false;
}

Worked like a charm, Thank You. Lastly, how do I get the id of the newly created group?
I tried {var:php9.id}, outside the php block, but that did not work. I have a Joomla Message that displays the new id for the user and the group...

The User {data:username} userid= {var:joomla_user7.id} and groupid = {var:php9.id} has been added.

I've not done this, but my guess would be

Code: Select all

$yourNewGroup->getTable()->getId();

Thanks MarkRS

What is $yourNewGroup. Is that the new group name that was created or literally the text I use in my code?

Yes, poor reply of mine, sorry.

I mean the groupModel object.
