Groups Module - Readme

========================

Version 0.2, alpha 2004/05/27
-- lehdem correction in:
	B 2) javascript
	B 3) addGroup ( }s missing)
	B 7) register_globals	


Summary:
The Groups module allows user to assign contacts to a group or multiple groups. As a stand-alone module, its pretty useless. 
However, this module can be used as a launch point to build other modules using group lists.
For example, combined with a newsletter module to create mailing lists. I also implemented this into contacts/index.php
so I have a pull down menu that only returns contacts for a certain group (see sect C, Integrate into contacts/index.php)

A) Stand Alone Module

1) Download and unpack Groups module
2) Place groups folder into dotproject /modules folder
3) Add "groups" to permissions by making the following changes to /modules/admin/vw_usr_perms.php:

Line 11:
replace:
> 'forums' => 'forum_name'
with:
> 'forums' => 'forum_name',
> 'groups'=>'group_name'

Line 30:
replace:
> fm.forum_id, fm.forum_name,
with:
> fm.forum_id, fm.forum_name,
> g.group_id, g.group_name,

Line 39 (same sql statement as above):
replace:
> LEFT JOIN forums fm ON fm.forum_id = p.permission_item and p.permission_grant_on = 'forums' 
with:
> LEFT JOIN forums fm ON fm.forum_id = p.permission_item and p.permission_grant_on = 'forums'                    
> LEFT JOIN groups g ON g.group_id = p.permission_item and p.permission_grant_on = 'groups'


Line 111:
replace:
> tables['forums'] = 'forums';
with:
> tables['forums'] = 'forums';
> tables['groups'] = 'groups';

4) Add the following case for groups around line 93 in /modules/public/selector.php (after case 'users' & before default:):

case 'groups':
        $title = 'Groups';
        $select = 'group_id,group_name';
        $order = 'group_name';
        break;
5) Login to dotproject as Admin and Install, Activate and make Visible "Groups" module

B) Integrate into Contacts add/edit
This will allow you to add a contact to group(s) from the addedit contact form. I should've just included the revised contacts module files, but I made a bunch of other changes to contacts that aren't affiliated with the groups module.
My bad -- should've created different versions.

1) /modules/contacts/addedit.php - Insert following lines before "//setup the title block"

// Pull groups for the parent groups list                                                                      
$sql="                                                                                                         
SELECT group_id, group_name                                                                                    
FROM groups                                                                                                    
ORDER BY group_name                                                                                            ";
$allGroups = db_loadHashList( $sql );

// Pull groups for this contact                                                                                
$sql = "                                                                                                       
SELECT g.group_id, g.group_name                                                                                
FROM groups g, groups_contacts gc                                                                              
WHERE gc.contact_id = $contact_id                                                                              
        AND g.group_id = gc.group_id                                                                           
";
$contactGroups = db_loadHashList( $sql );


2) /modules/contacts/addedit.php - insert following lines in javascript function submitIt() in form.submit() else block

var fl = form.contact_groups.options.length-1;
form.hcg.value = "";
for (fl; fl > -1; fl--){
   form.hcg.value = "," + form.hcg.value +","+ form.contact_groups.options[fl].value
}

3) /modules/contacts/addedit.php - insert following javascript functions

function addGroup() {
        var form = document.changecontact;
        var at = form.all_groups.length -1;
        var td = form.contact_groups.length -1;
        var groups = "x";

        //build array of groups                                                                                
        for (td; td > -1; td--) {
                groups = groups + "," + form.contact_groups.options[td].value + ","
        }

        //Pull selected resources and add them to list                                                         
        for (at; at > -1; at--) {
                if (form.all_groups.options[at].selected && groups.indexOf( "," + form.all_groups.options[at].value + "," ) == -1) {
                        t = form.contact_groups.length
                        opt = new Option( form.all_groups.options[at].text, form.all_groups.options[at].value);
			form.contact_groups.options[t] = opt;
		}
	}
}function removeGroup() {
        var form = document.changecontact;
        td = form.contact_groups.length -1;

        for (td; td > -1; td--) {
                if (form.contact_groups.options[td].selected) {
                        form.contact_groups.options[td] = null;
                }
        }
}

4) /modules/contacts/addedit.php - Insert above "contact notes" <tr></tr> block in html (or wherever you prefer to have this in the layout)

<tr>
<td>
                <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="0">
                        <tr>
                                <td><?php echo $AppUI->_( 'All Groups' );?></td>
                                <td><?php echo $AppUI->_( 'This Contact\'s Groups' );?></td>

                        <tr>
                                <td>
                                        <?php echo arraySelect( $allGroups, 'all_groups', 'style="width:180px" size="10" style="font-size:9pt;" multiple="multiple"', null ); ?>
                                </td>

                                </td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr>
                                <td align="right"><input type="button" class="button" value="&gt;" onClick="addGroup()" /></td>

                $tarr = explode( ",", $cslist );
                foreach ($tarr as $group_id) {
                        if (intval( $group_id ) > 0) {

C) Integrate into /modules/contacts/index.php
This file is included in the package. Just diff what you currently have to see the changes.
