CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I'm creating a Drupal module with CiviCRM 2.0 which requires a list of all the user's groups (normal and smart).
I've managed to use the API v2, using civicrm_group_contact_get, to access the user's regular groups.
How can I retrieve the user's smart groups?

There are thousands of contacts, and only a handful of smart groups, so running an optimized query on each smart group to retrieve only the single user's record would be plausible, but I'm not sure how to construct that.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks!
Actually, for my purpose, I had a short list of specific groups, and needed to check if a user was a member of any of those groups, so a single query to civicrm_contact_search did the trick.
Here's what I did:

      $groups2=array();
      foreach($groups as $grp){
        $groups2[$grp]=1;
      }
      global $user;
      $params = array(
                      'email' => $user->mail,
                      'group' => $groups2,
                      'return.email' => 1);
      $contacts =& civicrm_contact_search( $params );
      if (!empty($contacts)){

Thanks again for the lead.
P.S. Is there a reference for what you can put into the params array? I couldn't find any documentation.

There is no api for this as yet.

Is this still the case? In order to integrate with CiviMail, I will need to create smart groups on the fly. I assume I'll have to write code to create/get smart groups myself?

If you could wrap your group create specific code into a function an put it in the api, would be very useful for other users I'm sure.
