Hi,

I have two questions that I cannot seem to find an answer for by searching the forum...

Q1) Which file (and please specify filepath) contains the last bit of code to indicate successful registration?

The reason is, is I have some code (see below) which I want to add. The code will POST information from the registration to my newsletter software (12All). For it to work it needs to be added to the last step of the workflow of registration.

Q2) The code below was created for VirtueMart, its added when a purchase is made (if the buyer's chooses to subscribe, the code will subscribe the user). Since the data extract is specific to the VirtueMart database - I was wondering if someone could give me a few pointers on how to extract info from Community Builder to;

a) create a custom field to ask a question
b) field names for "name", "email", etc

Any help appreciated
Regards
Michael

p.s. the code below is inserted at the bottom of checkout.thankyou.php in VirtueMart.

Hi,

I've done some digging and found that the end of this function located in comprofiler.class.php appears to suit my purpose of getting user info from a successful activation.

As you can see below I'm testing to see if I can extract the user's email address.

However, I'm not all yet 100% familar with Community Builder or Joomla that I can code without an example.

Could someone throw me a tidbit of code to;

a) identify the current user (the one that just got activated); and

b) how to retrieve their email address into a string; and

c) Also I created a custom field cb_joinbealertnewsletter to ask the user if they want to sign up to a newletter during registration, its two radio buttons (Yes/No). If someone could walk me through how to get this fields contents too, that would be great!

Regards
Michael

function activateUser(&$user, $mailToAdmins = true, $mailToUser = true) {
global $database, $ueConfig, $_PLUGINS;

$query = "UPDATE #__users"

. "\n WHERE id = '".$user->id."'"
// . "\n WHERE activation = '$activation'"
// . "\n AND block = 1"
;
$database->setQuery( $query );
if (!$database->query()) {
echo "SQL-unblock error: " . $database->stderr(true);
}
$cbNotification = new cbNotification();
if($mailToAdmins && $ueConfig==1) {
$cbNotification->sendToModerators(_UE_REG_ADMIN_SUB,$cbNotification->_replaceVariables(_UE_REG_ADMIN_MSG,$user));
}
$_PLUGINS->trigger( 'onUserActive', array($user,true));
if ($mailToUser) {
$cbNotification->sendFromSystem($user,getLangDefinition($ueConfig),getLangDefinition($ueConfig));
}
