Question

Drupal 7.12/organic groups 7.x-1.3

Does anyone know how I can do a quick cURL hit against a site with a few POST vars like group ID, group name, etc. when a user creates a group successfully?

I have no idea how the hooks system works in this case.

Answer 1

An organic group is defined as an Entity in Drupal 7, and as such you can implement hook_entity_insert in a custom module to react to a successful group creation:

function MYMODULE_entity_insert($entity, $type) {
  if ($type == 'group') {
    $group_id = $entity->gid;

    // Install the Devel module and run the following code to get a full
    // breakdown of what's available in the $entity object
    dpm($entity);

    // Perform your cURL here
  }
}

Hope that helps
