Is there a way (maybe with an auto action?) to not allow a user to leave a certain page based on a comprofiler field value? We are looking for a behavior similar to how the Agree to Terms part of the CB system plugin works, where if the user clicks on another link they are not allowed to go anywhere until they have agreed to terms in their CB profile.

It's doable, but it's very tricky and could cause problems for your site depending on what features you're using. From CB Auto Actions you've to use a high up the render chain Joomla event to do that.

Specifically onAfterRoute, which in CB Auto Actions would be joomla_onAfterRoute. You should be sure to condition so that this only applies to frontend and check where they currently are then if they're not where you want them you can redirect using a redirect action type.

That trigger has no variables so you'll have to depend on Code conditions to execute Joomla/CB APIs for more advanced conditioning.

What is the best method to ensure that the auto action only applies to frontend? I tried using [cb:if application_context="frontend"] (ending with [/cb:if]) but it seems that some backend admin actions fall into that category?

I check the relative URL for where the user is with the following php code:
Code:
<?php $currentPageRelUrl = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; ?>

It gives the correct information (I made an auto action that emails me the information as a test) about what page the user has moved to

But for example, if I open the profile for a user in the admin backend, the email auto action with variables revealed tells me that the user has opened /home/index.php

So it seems that some backend actions are being observed as frontend actions?

Use API for everything. You'll need to learn Joomla API to accomplish this properly. Below are some examples.

Checking if frontend from Joomla API:
Code:
$isFrontend = JFactory::getApplication()->isClient( 'site' );

Getting GET data from Joomla API
Code:
$app = JFactory::getApplication(); $option = $app->input->get( 'option' ); // The component (e.g. com_comprofiler) $view = $app->input->get( 'view' ); // The component view (e.g. userprofile)

I'm sorry I cannot help you code this as we do not provide coding assistance. Please refer to Joomla API documentation below if you need further API help.
