Problem in code section of auto action with trigger onAfterCreateComment was created by timstohr
Hi Kyle,
we have a strange problem, when trying to insert a string into our sql data base with results obtained via auto actions. More specifically,
in Joomla in the Auto Action section we defined a new auto action (activity_onAfterCreateComment) with php-code in the action tab that looks like this
We are just querying the asset id from the post a user has commented on, which we would like to store into a database.
However, the insert does not work, in the sense that it only saves integers, although the database is configured to save text. Varchar as the database type did not work either.
Another question would be, how to actually get the asset id via the triggering of the auto action, because [var1_asset] or [asset] did not work.
Finally, is there any way to debug auto action code, i.e. show/print the contents of the variables defined in the action tab.
Thanks, Tim

You don't have quotes around $asset inside of the IN statement. The query is fatally failing. For example you're doing the below.
That's not fail SQL. You'd need to have the below.
Which is done by properly quoting using APIs as follows.
In regards to that trigger its variables are as follows.
This means the only variable it has is var1, which is the comment object. To get the asset you'd do [var1_asset]. You however always need to treat a substitution as a string. So if you replaced ".$asset." in your code with [var1_asset] it will still fail and needs to be surrounded with quotes. Examples as follows.
InvalidValid
INSERT INTO `#__testing` (`a`, `b`) VALUES (profile.42,profile.42)That's not fail SQL. You'd need to have the below.
INSERT INTO `#__testing` (`a`, `b`) VALUES ('profile.42','profile.42')Which is done by properly quoting using APIs as follows.
$db->setQuery("INSERT INTO `#__testing` ( `a`, `b` ) VALUES ( " . $db->quote( $asset ) . ", " . $db->quote( $asset ) . " )");In regards to that trigger its variables are as follows.
$_PLUGINS->trigger( 'activity_onAfterCreateComment', array( $this ) );This means the only variable it has is var1, which is the comment object. To get the asset you'd do [var1_asset]. You however always need to treat a substitution as a string. So if you replaced ".$asset." in your code with [var1_asset] it will still fail and needs to be surrounded with quotes. Examples as follows.

$asset = [var1_asset];$asset = '[var1_asset]';Kyle (Krileon)
