Creating a "Get Information" link for users was created by elian

Hi,

is there any way to set up a joomla link, on which a user could enter their e-mail adress and be sent a specified set of data stored in their community builder account?

I hope that made some sense.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Is this meant to only be used if they're already logged in or do you specifically want it to work with being able to enter any email address? It's possible to do both with CB Auto Actions, but significantly easier to only work for already logged in users.

We would want the users to simply enter their e-mail which is linked to their user account without being logged in.

The below CB Auto Action should support doing that.

Global
Triggers: None
Type: Email
Access: Everybody
User: Code
User

$emailUser = new \CB\Database\Table\UserTable();

$emailUser->loadByEmail( '[post_email]' );

return $emailUser;

Action
To: (leave empty)
Subject: Hello [username]!
Body:

Your username is [username]. Your name is [name].

Output
Display: Redirect
URL: INPUT_URL_HERE

You can customize the email however you like as the above is purely an example. Replace INPUT_URL_HERE with where you want to redirect them to after the email is sent. The next step is you need to create the HTML form that will POST to this auto action. You will find the URL for this auto action under the Global tab once you've saved it. That will be the URL you'll use in your form and the email address input should just have a name of "email" to work out of the box with the above user parsing.
