Hello,

how do I get the name of a group if I have the ID?
let's say I have $groupid = 1... then I would like to have in $groupname = "webmasters"

I think it has to be something like:
$groupname = groups($groupid)->getvar(groupname)

but I now this is not correct...

anyone can direct me in the right direction?

Can anyone also tell me where I can find a list with samples and explanation of XOOPS classes?

Thanks,
Koeneke

ok,

I took some time to investigate some classes and found a sollution:

$groupid = 1;
$member_handler =& xoops_gethandler('member');
$grouplist = $member_handler->getGroupList();
$groupname = $grouplist[$groupid]; // groupname will be "webmasters"


Is this the best and fastest way to get a groupname?

Thanks

$groupid = 1;
$group_handler =& xoops_gethandler('group');
$group = $group_handler->get($groupid);
$groupname = is_object($group) ? $group->getVar('name') : 'Group not found';


This is more correct ;)
