I installed the test_patch plugin in CB and it did not tell me that the patch was installed when I went to my registration page. I don't know what I'm doing wrong:
1. Install CB 1.0.2
2. Install conditions plugin
3. Configure tables in MySQL
4. Install test patch

Those are all the steps I've done so far. What "hacks" need to be applied to get this thing up? What is this stuff about comprofiler?

I've searched here for an hour and I CAN'T FIND THE HACK CODE! WHERE IS IT!!!!?????

Hello Mikko,

I downloaded the plugin, and spent about 2 hrs and I should admit that I was not able to make it work.

This is what I need - in my user reg. page, the user is shown different reg. details depending on the email domain. i.e. if the user enters user@abc.com they they are shown a reg page, but if they enter any other domain than abc.com then the are shown a different reg page.

Is this doable using conditions plugin? Or is there a simpler way to accomplish this?

If this has to be done only via conditions plugin, then I wish I had a idiots guide on how to use conditions plugin


I use CB 1.0.1 on my production system but planning to upgrade to CB 1.0.2.

I tried it on a test system on CB 1.0.2, for some reason I uninstalled and tried to reinstall the conditions plugin it gives be the below error. I am not a CB/Joomla expert, but would appreciate if I can get some help to get me through this. Thanks in advance!

[code:1]
SQL Error DB function failed with error number 1060
Duplicate column name 'conditionid' SQL=ALTER TABLE `jos_comprofiler_field_values` ADD `conditionid` INT;
SQL =
ALTER TABLE `jos_comprofiler_field_values` ADD `conditionid` INT;
[/code:1]

Hack for cb 1.0.2 can be found for example here www.joomlapolis.com/component/option,com_joomlaboard/Itemid,38/func,view/catid,27/id,26454/

I wish there was a better way to post hacked files than using attachements to forum posts. (Even better would be if this little enhancement would make it to CB)

The plugin can handle only exact mathes. However, it should not be too hard to make it do regexp matching.

This is a minor bug in the plugin. You can fix it by opening the zip-file and editing the xml file inside. Just remove the SQL lines which generate the errors. Unfortunately there is not a better solution for this at this point of time.

The reason for this problem is that the uninstaller does not remove the previously defined conditions (this is intentional), and then the installer tries to recreate the columns. The problem is that you cannot use "if not exists" with "alter table" in mysql.

To enable pattern mathing (with javascript regex) change this line in conditions.php

[code:1]
$ret.="\nshowHide(document.getElementsByName(prefix+'".($fields[$fieldN]->name).$fieldPostfix.
"')[0].parentNode.parentNode,node.value=='".$condition->value."');"
[/code:1]

to

[code:1]
$ret.="\nshowHide(document.getElementsByName(prefix+'".($fields[$fieldN]->name).$fieldPostfix.
"')[0].parentNode.parentNode,node.value.match('".$condition->value."')!=null);"
[/code:1]

See for example this link for more info about match function and what kinds of patters you can sepcify www.devguru.com/Technologies/ecmaScript/quickref/string_match.html
