hook_user, OG, and post-approval
March 5, 2010 - 10:40pm
Got it
I figured it out. hook_user() was the way to go. Its arguments include both $edit and $account, which are (respectively) the items the user is changing and the user object prior to save. I triggered off the "update" operation in hook_user(), and then determined if the roles and status have changed based off the data in $edit and $account. Then I called og_delete_subscription() or og_save_subscription() as needed.

Multiple Mandatory Groups by Role
For future reference and anyone not wanting to write their own hook_user() code to solve this, you might want to try the Multiple Mandatory Groups by Role Module, which might also be the winner for longest module name ever. I've used it in the past and it works quite well for what you've described here.
Hello all,
I have two roles: "member" and "guest". All registrations must be approved by the admin, based upon some user-supplied info at registration. When the admin approves, he will assign the user to one of those two roles. What I'd like to do is auto-subscribe members (not guests) to certain Organic Groups. I don't need a fancy module with a UI to select which groups, which roles, etc. I can hard-code it. Basically I just need something that assigns somebody with "Role A" to "Organic Groups A, B, and C". I am thinking that hook_user() is the way to go. However, how do I "capture" the approval process? I don't want this to run every time the account is edited, obviously (mostly because I don't want to re-subscribe someone if they choose to unsubscribe). Only when it is approved by the admin.
Anybody ever do anything like this?
Blessings
