Hi,

Not familiar with this function, what does it do & how do you use it?

X+

So, with v3 api we have followed the BAO / civicrm tables much more closely. This one didn't come across because it wasn't obvious to me what it was as 'profile' isn't a BAO. However, from you comment I think it might be what we would call uf_group_get - does that sound right? - there isn't a get function in that api yet.

So, to put it clearly - is the function basically returning stuff form the uf_group table?
if so I would expect the function to work if it looked something like the below. Note that we aim for our 'get' functions in apiv3 to allow filtering which this doesn't based on the v2 version

/**               
 * Get all the user framework groups
 *
 * @access public                                         
 * @return array - array reference of all groups.
 * @static
 */
function &civicrm_uf_profile_groups_get( $params) {

    return civicrm_create_success(CRM_Core_PseudoConstant::ufGroup( ));
}

Whoa!    What about the new Constants.php in v.3?

Isn't this civicrm_api('Constant','Get',array('name' => 'ufGroup', 'version' =>3))

Nice work 

I'll update my code...  Filtering is a nice addition to simply pulling the pseudoconstant.  In my case it should allow me to only pull in profiles of the proper type.

Thanks, Eileen!  You are awesome.
