External Databse Query

Hi,

I have been happily using Community Builder for several years - it has proved to be an excellent component.

I am now faced with the need to include some added functionality, and I am pretty much stumped.

When a user logs in to my site I need to check their status on another external database. A method has been created on the other service that can be checked using SOAP. Essentially the users membership number which is held my site as part of the user profile needs to be checked on the external site to see if it exists and is current. If it doesn't exist the user needs to be told, otherwise they log in as usual (no actual changes need to be made to the site database).

This seems like it should be pretty simple to implement - probably just a few lines of code somewhere. Unfortunately I know almost nothing about SOAP and equally little about the inner workings of the CB component. Could anyone point in the right direction or suggest where I could get some help with this.

Many thanks (and a Happy New Year)

Pete
