Auto action and change of username was created by activha

Hello Kyle

We use an auto action to sync with pap software and sync username and affiliate ref id.

We would like to authorize our users to change usernames now that alias has been implemented on CB

We used now Onafteruserupdate and Onafterupdateuser which worked well. However when changing usernames, the auto action cannot send the new username to the affiliate soft and then we loose the sync.

Can you suggest triggers to use when changing usernames, so that the sync can be done on other softwares logging with the old username and allowing then to perform an update ?

Hope it's clear enough :-)

Thanks
Jean

That trigger is fire for username change. What do you mean it can't send the username? You should be able to substitute it in with [username]. If you need the old username to update with the new username you can access the previous user object with var3 (e.g. [var3_username]).

Well we used :
[var1_password] not egal to [var3_password] with onAfterUpdateUser and onAfterUserUpdate and the php code executes correctly

With [var1_username] not egal to [var3_username] and the same triggers and code, nothing is executed, and the code auto action does not fire.

I have also tried with [username] not egal to [var3_username] , no results neither
Also tried elsewhere :

if ("[var3_username]" > 0) { $cbpapid = "[var3_username]";} else {$cbpapid = "[username]";}

but no results neither.

is var3_username existing when there is a change of username ?

I have the same question for email change.
As an email change must be confirmed by a link received by the user, when is the email really changed ? I mean when editing the profil for an email change AND a username change, you are returned to the profil edit page and you receive a link to confirm the email change. In this case, do we have still access to the var3_email when returning to the profil edit page ?

Can you help me on these ?
Thanks
Jean

Enable debug mode and maximum error reporting in Joomla global configuration. Once under edit your auto action and under Parameters turn on Debug. Now retest and it'll output if the action failed and if it's the conditions failing it'll display exactly what values it was trying to compare.

If you're using CB Reconfirm Email you won't be able to compare var1 and var3 for email changes as CB Reconfirm Email reverts it. You will need to use the trigger included with CB Reconfirm Email. More specifically reconfirm_onAfterConfirm, which is fired after they've confirmed the change.

Thanks for the trigger for reconfirm email, this was our problem I guess for email variable.

BTW is it possible to chain several conditions such as :
[var1_password] not egal to [var3_password]
OR
[var1_username] not egal to [var3_username]

There is no OR conditions. They are always AND. It's possible the ability to have OR conditions will be added in a later release. I suppose you could have a single condition as follows and see if it works.

[var1_username][var1_password] Not Equal To [var3_username][var3_password]
