Mailing list groups contain a '2' in their group_type value.

If an ACL group, civicrm_group.group_type = "1"
If only a mailing_list, civicrm_group.group_type = "2".
If both, civicrm_group.group_type = "12".
If neither, civicrm_group.group_type is empty (or null, or whatever it is).

Retrieving mailing lists only (2 but not 12) looks like this -

Code: [Select]

  $groups = civicrm_api("Group","get", array('group_type' => 2, 'version' =>'3'));

I want to retrieve the second and third group types, where group_type contains a 2.

How do I do this with civicrm_api()?

Hi,

I don't think there is a way at the moment. It would be fairly easy to add into group api but you'd want a test so you know it will still work next upgrade...

Happy to commit a patch on it...
