assign users to group modx - modx

Question

How can i assign newly created user to the particular group in modx Programmaticaly ? Below is my code
if(isset($_POST) && count($_POST)){
$oUser = $modx->newObject('modUser');
$oUser->set('username', "test");
//$oUser->set('password', "test");
$oProfile = $modx->newObject('modUserProfile');
$oProfile->set('fullname', $_POST['fname']);
$oProfile->set('email', $_POST['email']);
$oUser->addOne($oProfile);
if($oUser->save()===false){
echo "Error";
}else
echo "Done";
}
I googled but all i find is graphical tutorial how to create groups and edit user and then assign roles, If you know any tutorial then also its fine.

Here is how I have been doing it, this is a posthook snippet that fires after a user registers [and the user is created]
<?php
$specialty = $hook->getValue('specialty');
$country = strtolower($hook->getValue('excountry'));
$username = $hook->getValue('username');
$staff = $hook->getValue('staff-or-resident'); //Staff | Resident
$joingroup = '';
$joinrole = '';
$blockuser = 'false';
switch ($specialty){
case 'Other' :
$joingroup = 15; // Other
$joinrole = 1; //member
$blockuser = 'true';
break;
// there are about 15 different groups and roles here...
default :
$joingroup = '0'; // none
$joinrole = '0'; // none
break;
}
if($joingroup > 0 && $joinrole > 0){
$user = $modx->getObject('modUser', array('username'=>$username));
$internalkey = $user->get('id');
$profile = $user->getOne('Profile',array('internalKey'=>$internalkey));
$user->joinGroup($joingroup, $joinrole);
if($blockuser == 'true'){ //block user if they belong to the "other" group
$profile->set('blocked',1);
}
if(!$user->save()){
return false;
};
}
return true;
The key is the: $user->joinGroup($joingroup, $joinrole); where joingroup is the group id ~ or name and the joinrole is the role id ~ or name. It's documented here: http://api.modx.com/revolution/2.1/_model_modx_moduser.class.html#%5CmodUser::joinGroup()

The best way to create/edit something in revo >2.2 this is use "Class-based Processors" - https://www.markhamstra.com/modx-blog/2012/2/getting-started-with-class-based-processors-2.2/ to add user to group use this processor https://github.com/modxcms/revolution/blob/develop/core/model/modx/processors/security/user/update.class.php with this -
http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Using+runProcessor
$param = array(
'id' => 1, // user id
'groups' => array(
array(
"usergroup" => 1,
"name" => "Administrator",
"member" => 1,
"role" => 2,
"rolename" => "Super User",
"primary_group" => true,
"rank" => 0,
"menu" => null
),
array( .... )
)
);
$response = $modx->runProcessor('security/user/update',$param );
if ($response->isError()) {
return $response->getMessage();
}
