im_group_id_from_parameter

im_group_id_from_parameter   parameter   { db "" }

Returns the group_id for the group with the GroupShortName specified in the server .ini file for $parameter. That is, we look up the specified parameter in the intranet module of the parameters file, and use that short_name to find a group id. Memoizes the result

Source code:

    set short_name [ad_parameter $parameter intranet]
    if { [empty_string_p $short_name] } {
	uplevel {
	    ad_return_error "Missing parameter" "Parameter not defined in the intranet section of your server's parameters file"
	    ad_script_abort
	}
    }
