How add default group to customer programmatically?

[bombis]

Hello i am trying to assign group and make it the default group for the customer logged.

This is what i tried

$this->context->customer->addGroups(array(7));
 $this->context->customer->id_default_group = 7;

The group assign is doing good but the default is not changing.

 

Any help? Thanks

Solved using querys..

$query = "UPDATE `"._DB_PREFIX_."customer` SET id_default_group = 7 WHERE id_customer=". $this->context->customer->id;
                                    Db::getInstance()->Execute($query);

 

Prob. there is a better way to do it but i just needed a temporal solution for a week.

maybe you should not forget

$query ="INSERT IGNORE INTO `"._DB_PREFIX_."customer_group` (`id_customer`, `id_group`) values(id_customer=". $this->context->customer->id . ",7)";
Db::getInstance()->Execute($query);
