Hi there,

I'm busy migrating our CiviCRM set up to V2. The upgrade itself ran smoothly but I'm stuck in migrating the code snippets we used with API.

I'm trying to retrieve all contact email from several groups (see below). I managed to get an array of groups but I can't get contacts belonging to a group.

Any help greatly appreciated.

 $params = array( 'title' => $param );

                //$return_properties = array('title' );
                $myGroups =& civicrm_groups_get($params);

                foreach($myGroups as $group)
                {
                $params = array('group_id' => $group['id']);
               
                $myContacts = civicrm_group_contact_get(&$params);

                        foreach ($myContacts as $contact)
                        {
                        $display .= $contact['email'] . ", ";
                        }
                }
                return $display;

Where do I find the documentation about this API? I'm a very lousy php developper and the code itself is very cryptic for me. Thanks!

Well ... I'm stuck again ...

Here's the piece of code that used to work prior to V2.0:

public function search_group_contacts_tb($param){
               
                $params = array( 'title' => $param );

                $return_properties = array('title' );
                $myGroups =& crm_get_groups($params, $return_properties);
               
                foreach($myGroups as $group) {
                        $return_properties = array( 'email' );
                        $sort = array("email" => "ASC");
                       
                $myContacts =& crm_get_group_contacts(&$group, $return_propertie
s ,'Added',$sort, $offset = 0, $row_count = null );
                       
                        foreach ($myContacts as $contact) {
                    $display .= $contact->email . ", ";
                }
                }
                return $display;
        }

The crm_get_group_contact API seems not to be available anymore. So is the 'crm_get_group'. I managed to adapt the latter with the 'civicrm_groups_get' V2 API but I can't find an alternative to the first one.

The bottom line is how do I retrieve the email address from a group? civicrm_contact_search() isn't helpful since the ERD shows the groups a contact belongs to is only available through the civicrm_group_contact table. Therefore I don't see what parameter I could pass to civicrm_contact_search().

Did you find a way to make this work?
