default group

[kordan]

Is it possible to automatically join a newly created account to a default group?
Thanks in advance.

Not out of the box, but you could easily change the registration code to add the user to the group of your choice. I'll add this as an option for a future version.

Could you advise how ? Lets say I have a group called Users

[Nick]

In /lib/Application/Authentication/Registration.php you'll want to change the Register() function to also call

Code:

$groupId = fill in your group id here;
ServiceLocator::GetDatabase()->ExecuteInsert(new AddUserGroupCommand($userId, $groupId));

Ciao Nick,
I changed the the function Register in /lib/Application/Authentication/Registration.php as follow,

    public function Register($username, $email, $firstName, $lastName, $password, $timezone, $language,
                             $homepageId,
                             $additionalFields = array())
    {
        $encryptedPassword = $this->_passwordEncryption->EncryptPassword($password);

        $attributes = new UserAttribute($additionalFields);

        $registerCommand = new RegisterUserCommand($username, $email, $firstName, $lastName,
            $encryptedPassword->EncryptedPassword(), $encryptedPassword->Salt(), $timezone, $language, $homepageId,
            $attributes->Get(UserAttribute::Phone), $attributes->Get(UserAttribute::Organization), $attributes->Get(UserAttribute::Position),
            AccountStatus::ACTIVE);

        $db = ServiceLocator::GetDatabase();
        $userId = $db->ExecuteInsert($registerCommand);
        $this->AutoAssignPermissions($userId);

        $groupName = 'PRO'; //<-- default group name
        $reader = $db->Query(new GetGroupByNameCommand($groupName));
        if ($row = $reader->GetRow())
        {
            $group = new Group($row[ColumnNames::GROUP_ID], $row[ColumnNames::GROUP_NAME]);
            $groupId = $group->Id();
            $db->ExecuteInsert(new AddUserGroupCommand($userId, $groupId));
        }
        $reader->Free();
    }

but when an Ldap user logs in FOR THE FIRST TIME the front page doesn't reload. The perceived output is a blank page. Once refreshed the browser page, the Ldap user understand he/she is inside phpScheduleIt BUT he/she does not belong to the "PRO" group.

Before closing I need to add that I also made the following two additions:
1. to /lib/Database/Commands/Commands.php
class GetGroupByNameCommand extends SqlCommand
{
    public function __construct($groupName)
    {
        parent::__construct(Queries::GET_GROUP_BY_NAME);
        $this->AddParameter(new Parameter(ParameterNames::GROUP_NAME, $groupName));
    }
}

2. to /lib/Database/Commands/DataConstant.php
    const GET_GROUP_BY_NAME =
            'SELECT *
        FROM groups
        WHERE name = @groupname';

Can I ask for an help, please?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry Nick.
As usual, after hours once asked the solution arrives in a minute!
Fixed. It was a typo.

[Nut65]

Thanks kordan, worked like a charm!

[kordan]

[chaplib]

What was the typo??

[chaplib]

I figured it our.

Thanks for your answers, I was able to make this work in v2.2.2 by following Nick' suggestion.

I've added his code at line 72 in /lib/Application/Authentication/Registration.php

$groupId = 7;
        ServiceLocator::GetDatabase()->ExecuteInsert(new AddUserGroupCommand($userId, $groupId));

Thanks again 

[kordan]

Nick can you include this feature in next releases, please?
Thanks in advance.

Default groups are on my list. Not sure if it will make 2.3 or not. 2.2 did introduce a PostRegistration plugin. This will allow you to write a plugin to accomplish this without changing the code.
