[SOLVED] Using substitutions in connections action

[SOLVED] Using substitutions in connections action was created by Timpowwow
Hello

Been using CB for the past two months, got all the latest builds. Managed to get round a lot of things so far reading the forums and watching videos, but this one's got me stumped!

I'm trying to override the request connection email - it's just plain text. We need a bit more design and html! I created a new auto action, based off onAfterAddConnection, to send an email to the user the request is being made to. I can use substitutions for the currently logged in user, but I can see no docs about how to access the 'other' user's email address (the user that the request is going to) to put in the 'To' field. I know the trigger and action works fine, because I've put my email in.

Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated!

That triggers available variables are as follows.

$_PLUGINS->trigger( 'onAfterAddConnection', array( $this->referenceId, $connectionId, $ueConfig['useMutualConnections'], $ueConfig['autoAddConnections'] ) );

You won't have access to the recipient users email address from this unless you change the User for the auto action. With the above trigger var1 is your user id and var2 is the user id you're connecting to. For example the below should work.

User: Manually
User Variable: Variable 2

Now substitutions should be based off the user you're connecting to. Next if you need to substitute in something from your own user you can just use the user="#me" usage on your substitution. Example as follows.

[username] = Connections Username
[cb:userdata field="username" user="#me" /] = Your Username
