Hi Stuart
I'm at a loss to know where to find the getSpecialGroups method.
I've tried locate and grep recursively without success.
All student id's are numeric and begin with the number 1
All I need is a fragment of code as follows:
IF first character of EPerson name is not 1 THEN
Add EPerson to staff special group
ENDIF
I guess it would look something like this: (N.B. I'm not a java programmer!)
*if (context.getCurrentUser().getEPersonl()**!=='1') {
??????????*
*}
*
How and where do I go about coding this please?
Thnaks very much indeed.
Clive
