Bump topic...

I'm still having this problem. Ever since I upgraded my dev environment to 1.2 release, I get this error:

Fatal error: Class 'comprofilerDBTable' not found in /joomla_development/tap/administrator/components/com_comprofiler/library/cb/cb.tables.php on line 16

This is the code that is causing this:

 
require_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_comprofiler'.DS.'plugin.foundation.php' );
global $_CB_framework, $ueConfig, $mainframe;
 
$cb_user = CBuser::getInstance($joom_user);

The stack trace is the same as below. What am I missing?

Thanks!

There appear to be some fundamental dependency issues in CB. At least for what I am trying to do.

I finally got getting an instance of the cbUser, by adding the following line of code to cb.tables.php:

 
require_once('cb.database.php');

What am I missing?

Now there is a dependency failure when calling getField():

Class 'cbTabs' not found in .../administrator/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.foundation.php on line 881

What am I missing, or am I the first person to try this??

Something is totally wrong.

I'm trying to figure out what dependencies I am missing. It seems as if I am adding hacks on top of hacks.

After my post below, I had to add:

include_once( 'comprofiler.class.php' );

to the top of plugin.foundation.php. That got me past some issues. Now I've gotten to here:

cbimport( ) in comprofiler.class

Error:
Call to a member function getCfg() on a non-object

in this line of code:
require_once( $_CB_framework->getCfg('absolute_path') . '/administrator/components/com_comprofiler/library/' . $filepath );

So, the _CB_framework object is not instantiated???!!!?!?!

I really wish I knew what is wrong.

Creating a plugin doesn't hack the code and therefore, doesn't cause unexpected errors in other aspects of the component or plugins. Your best bet is studying other CB 1.2 plugins, waiting for the API to be released or request knowledgeable assistance to accomplish your task (likely for a fee).

Hi, you would have been a lot faster if you looked in some new plugins code.

What do you want to do with your plugin? Do you want to display the information in a tab? If yes take a look into existing plugins. You have to extend cbTabHandler first:

class getYOURPLUGTab extends cbTabHandler {
	/**
	 * Constructor
	 */
	function getYOURPLUGTab( ) {
		$this->cbTabHandler();
	}
<... snip...>

your code goes then here

 
function getDisplayTab( $tab, $user, $ui ) {
		global $_CB_framework, $_CB_database, $ueConfig;
// $_CB_database only needed if you do custom queries
// $ueConfig only needed if you want to read cb config params
 
<... snip ...>

If you want to access a cb table value you only need the $user object of the tab beeing displayed. e.g.

echo $user->cb_mycustomcbfield;

Take care above code only mentions snippets. Take a look into latest cb profilegallery plugin or similar.

Edit: To understand how plugins work you can take a look at old helloWorld plugins. They use the old api but instead of $mainframe etc. you only need the $_CB_framework global.

global $_CB_framework, $ueConfig, $mainframe;
 
if ( defined( 'JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR' ) ) {
	if ( ! file_exists( JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.foundation.php' ) ) {
		echo 'CB not installed!';
		return;
	}
	include_once( JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.foundation.php' );
} else {
	if ( ! file_exists( $mainframe->getCfg( 'absolute_path' ) . '/administrator/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.foundation.php' ) ) {
		echo 'CB not installed!';
		return;
	}
	include_once( $mainframe->getCfg( 'absolute_path' ) . '/administrator/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.foundation.php' );
}
 
cbimport( 'cb.plugins' );
cbimport( 'language.front' );

Try the above. This is needed for 3rd party usage of CBs API. In a sense you can design anything with CBs API. Allowing 100% cross-compatible code.
