Hi all,
I've been looking at this for quite a while and am getting nowhere - please help if you can.
Basically, I need to access a registration field value from a different plugin i.e. MetaMod. I'm not asking for MetaMod advice here though.
For example, before installing CB 1.3 I was using ExtendedReg, and with ExtendedReg, I could create a field and then use the following php as a condition to display a screen element:
if (($ismember == 0 ) && ( $user->extreg == "X01" )) return 46;
This would then display the correct screen element depending on the type of user i.e. "X01".
All I want to be able to do with CB 1.3 is create a new field cb_registrationtype and was hoping to:
use $user->cb_registrationtype == "X01"
Clearly, I can't do this since cb_registrationtype is not a $user variable.
Does CB add my variable data somewhere where I can access them?
Can anyone shed any light on how I access field data without using $db and running a SQL query. I suppose I could do it this way, but it doesn't make much sense if the data is available.
Would appreciate your help.
Many thanks, Alex

I don't know how this will help you on registration though (based off contents of post assuming you're making conditionals for registration) as the user does not exist yet so all you'll get is an empty $user object.

Yes to the CB user object. CB does not add CB variables to the Joomla user object.Does CB add my variable data somewhere where I can access them?
Please review tutorials within my signature concerning loading the $user object. You'll need to also load the CB library if the usage is outside of a CB plugin.Can anyone shed any light on how I access field data without using $db and running a SQL query. I suppose I could do it this way, but it doesn't make much sense if the data is available.
