I am not sure if this is the right place to make a suggestion.

I just finished a plugin (it syncs my gallery2 users with CB including the groups).

I congratulate the developers of CB because it was actually very simple.

My only suggestion (which would have made my plugin development a bit quicker) and I think it makes sense in fact I have added (and I hate to hack code).

The onBeforeUpdateUser trigger should also pass the previous state of the user. In fact it is already saved two lines above the triggering. Like I said I added it (but I hate to hack code). In my logic if you have an onBeforeUpdate trigger and an onAfterUpdate trigger the before trigger should have the state prior to changing (maybe I am doing something incorrect or maybe it is a bug)

Any advise is welcomed

Your code looks exactly like mine, so yes that is what I did. I know it could be easily have gotten from the database but, since it already is there why not just pass it along.

Like I said my logic is Before means the state prior to something happening and After well after the state changes in fact the way it is coded at the moment OnBeforeUpdate and OnAfterUpate have exactly the same data.

Yes I will share the plugin after I do a bit more testing. Also I need to make it a bit more generic it was written for my site and I need to remove a few features that probably would just get in other users way.

Also I need to make a few changes so it will work with PHP4 I have some PHP5 code in the plugin (of course unless you are forced to why use PHP4) but I know there are hosting companies especially shared hosting that will not budge from PHP4

I wrote the little plugin (and it is no more than 100 lines of code) because the gallery2bridge (thing) was a nightmare to work with. I would never "knock" anyones efforts (I am sure a lot of work went into it) but all I needed to do was sync my users and groups with Gallery2 and I just could not see having like 1,000's of lines of code that I do not need. Plus the gallery2bridge does not correctly (by their own admission) deal with groups properly. This was a huge problem for me as I have 51,000 joomla members and over 12,000 images and videos in my gallery2.

I need a suggestion:
This plugin is finished and I have completed testing it. I need to add one piece of functionality.

Which is an original sycn. It would be GREAT to add the Gallery2 sync when a CB Joomla Sync is done. I looked at your syncUsers function and unfortunately it does not act as I would have hoped using your own update user function and therefore having the "onAfterUpdateUser" trigger, triggered this would have been perfect.

It makes sense to add the gallery2 sync code to CB as once you install CB you really should not be using anything else to "mess" around with users.

I could write my own sync function but that seems a bit overkill for something that only really needs to be done once.

Suggestions are welcomed
Thanks

So, if I untherstand good, this triger is to automaticly sync user ho has login in to CB with Joomla

Oke, for all newbee's it would be nice to explane where you have to add this new triger and in what file you will be able to find it.

We are not all the same as you know and do not have all the same experiance with PHP
