Creating Usergroups via Script

[malcolmx]

I'm trying to create Usergroups with a php Script which gets these groups directly from an LDAP Database. My Question now is, if i create a usergroup in the admincp, the sql query made by the admincp is a standard mysql add query. but aditionally there are a few add queries for various inserts in datastore or parentlist/childlist.

what are these additional queries for, do i have to create them by hand? in other words: will my board break if i don't do this additional queries, will board performance be affected?

You must create records in table usergroup and rebuild the datastore items forumcache and usergroupcache.
If you just create the records, the usergroups will "not be known".

thanks for the quick reply.
are there any functions that will do this for me automagically? i haven't queried the code in that details thus far...

For the insert - no, you will have to do thisw manuylla.

For rebuilding the caches:
includes/adminfunctions.php

PHP Code:

// #############################################################################
/**
* Rebuilds the $vbulletin->usergroupcache and $vbulletin->forumcache from the forum/usergroup tables
*
* @param    boolean    If true, force a recalculation of the forum parent and child lists
*/
function build_forum_permissions($rebuild_genealogy = true)

Hi malcolmx,

do you have any working solution on this? I am looking for something, where the users can create usergroups by themself.

Can you help me here?

Thanks,
Witold
