Automatic assignment of user in groups

Thursday 10 March 2005 8:50:38 am

Hello,

I would like to write a cronjob to automatically assign users to user groups according to their attributes, after each user creation or modification (using Exponential 3.5.1).

My main to problems are :
- Flushing all groups of a user (except main location)
- Adding a user to an existing node

So far I have found a function to add an object to an existing node :

function & copyto (& $object,$node){
	$nodeAssignment =& eZNodeAssignment::create( array
		    	(
                  'contentobject_id' => $object->attribute( 'id' ),
                  'contentobject_version' => $object->attribute( 'current_version' ),
                  'parent_node' => $node,
                  'is_main' => 0
                 )
            );
    $nodeAssignment->store();
    $treenodegewerk = & eZContentObjectTreeNode::addChild($object->attribute( 'id' ),$node,true);
    
	$operationResult = eZOperationHandler::execute(
									'content', 'publish', array( 
									'object_id' => $object->attribute( 'id' ),
									'version' => $object->attribute( 'current_version' ) ) );
	 return eZContentObjectTreeNode::findNode($node,$object->attribute('id'),true); 
}

The function *almost* works fine : when I add a node assignment to a user, the $user->groups() shows me that the group has been added. BUT ... in the admin interface the assignment is not shown : there is just a sort of blank line displayed in the "Location" tab of the user.

Thanks for your help.

I made it. Code based on the action.php provided in Exponential. Too bad I didn't get any answer from this Forum once again ...
