	$query  = $db->getQuery(true)
	->select('a.id')
	->from('#__usergroups AS a')
	->where('a.title="'.$name.'"');

	$db->setQuery($query);
	$gid = $db->loadResult();

$db = JFactory::getDBO();

$query = $db->getQuery(true)

->select('a.id')

->from('#__usergroups AS a')

->where('a.title="'.$name.'"');
