Profile field and database

Profile field and database was created by mts
Hi,
I have two problems with the latest version of CB.

First, I wanted to add custom fields that only allow lower case, so for example "a,b,c" but there should not be allowed "A,B,C". Hope you could help, with that first problem.

Second problem. At the registration I want to write the user detail into a second database, so I need to know where to find the insert into function into the joomla database to add my custom insert function.

thx

I can't help you with the first problem, but the second is fairly easy.

write a new plugin (I suggest using the available helloworld plugin as a starting point)

in this new plugin: Compare your cb_FIELD to your custom database field, if they're not the same, perform a write to your new table.

the plugin needs no output, only needs to be placed in a published tab, raw type is ok.

Enjoy!

you should be able to handle this with CB 1.2 RC3 by editing the Authorized input parameter in the field parameter area (right side of the screen when you edit your custom field) - you should be able to put in the proper expression.

Second problem. At the registration I want to write the user detail into a second database, so I need to know where to find the insert into function into the joomla database to add my custom insert function.

A CB plugin can be written - use CB helloworld plugin articles to get started.

I have tried both Hello World plugins, plug_helloworld.zip and plug_helloworld_part2.zip, but they do not show how to create and access custom fields. I have gone through other plugins for examples, and the only ones that seem to use user fields are the core and connections plugins, which go way beyond what I am trying to do. A simple Hello World example with fields would be very useful to a lot of people. Maybe I've just missed it?

If so cold you point me in the right direction?
