ELGG. How to get group by its group name?
ELGG has method get_user_by_username(), which returns the object ElggUser. Unfortunately, there is no method called get_group_by_groupname(). So, I made one :)
/**
* Returns a group specified by its name
* @param string $groupname The name of the group
* @return mixed ElggGroup - if ElggGroup exists, false - otherwise
*/
function get_group_by_groupname($groupname) {
global $CONFIG;
$groupname = sanitise_string($groupname);
$access = get_access_sql_suffix('e');
$row = get_data_row("SELECT e.* from {$CONFIG->dbprefix}groups_entity g join {$CONFIG->dbprefix}entities e on e.guid=g.guid where g.name='$groupname' and $access ");
if ($row) {
return new ElggGroup($row);
}
return false;
}
Good luck ;)
