using api to remove contact from group

[usr238496]

The most obvious (and only that I could see) option would be:

civicrm_api3_group_contact_delete (line 126)

But the API 3 page says it is deprecated, with no recommendations on what to use instead,

Any suggestions?

Use create with a 'status' => 'Removed' (which is what delete does). The reason delete is deprecated is that it implies a full delete but it actually just updates status to 'removed'

[Eileen]

Oh yeah - you mean

civicrm_api('group_contact','create',$params);

don't you? Ie. don't call the functions in the api folder directly

[usr238496]

Cheers Eileen, yes I figured out that is how you are meant to call the api, a bit of string manipulation never hurt anyone lol

Hi,

Yes it has, remember that the forum belong to the collective documentation, and you can't imagine how long we end up fighting a typo or old syntax years after it was deemed "not the proper way"

And to make matters worse, we change 'the proper way' every now and then.....
