It's a Query field type displaying a single row/column with

Code:

SELECT `id` FROM `#__affiliate_tracker_accounts` WHERE `user_id` = '[user_id]' AND `id` != '0' LIMIT 1

and we retrieve it by

Code:

$cbUser  = CBuser::getInstance($user_id, false);
$atid         = $cbUser->replaceUserVars('[cb:userdata field="cb_refid" user="' . $user_id . '" /]');

Then it displays the old column value instead of getting the query

A query field should not have a column in _comprofiler. Delete the column associated with the query field to fix your issue. This is simply one of the possible issues that can happen when changing a fields type (not recommended, but is allowed). In this case the column isn't deleted automatically encase the field type change was an accident and is only deleted if the field is deleted.

$cbUser = CBuser::getInstance($user_id, false);
$atid = $cbUser->replaceUserVars('[cb:userdata field="cb_refid" user="' . $user_id . '" /]');

You should be using the getFields API to do this not forcing a single substitution parse. See the below for getFields API.

I have some issues with the API

Code:

$cbMyUser = CBuser::getMyInstance();
$MyId = $cbMyUser->getField( 'user_id', null, 'csv', 'none', 'profile' );
//print '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars(print_r($cbMyUser, true)) . '</pre>';
echo 'test:'.$MyId;

The "print" displays the whole user object correctly but the echo does not display the user_id or any fields neither. I also tried list instead of profile and other outputs without luck
That's why I used substitutions because I couldn't get the data of the user object
May be that you know while this fails ??

You're also trying to call getFields on a user_id field. There is no user_id field. You get user id from their user object directly.

Code:

$cbMyUser = CBuser::getMyInstance();
$MyId = $cbMyUser->getUserData()->getInt( 'id', 0 );

See the below tutorial on how to work with user objects from CBuser.

www.joomlapolis.com/documentation/279-community-builder/tutorials/18359-establishing-a-cb-user-object

Additionally you're trying to get 'csv' output. Typically you'll always want 'html' (profile output) or 'list' (userlist output).

Code:

$cbMyUser = CBuser::getMyInstance();
$MyId = $cbMyUser->getUserData()->getInt( 'id', 0 );
$refid = $cbMyUser->getField( 'cb_refid' );

It seems that calling the query field with getField fails when the viewer is not logged in.

Code:

$user_id  = $action->string($user, '[var1_user_id]');
$cbUser  = CBuser::getInstance($user_id, false);
$cbId = $cbUser->getUserData()->getInt( 'id', 0 );
$reffirstname = $cbUser->getUserData()->getString( 'firstname', '' );
$atid = $cbUser->getField( 'cb_refid' );

The getUserData works fine to retrieve strings and integers but the getField for the query field fails.
Query field is

Code:

SELECT `id` FROM `#__affiliate_tracker_accounts` WHERE `user_id` = '[user_id]' AND `id` != '0' LIMIT 1

Can you tell me what I miss here to have the display of the query field even if the viewer is not logged in ??

Also trying to drop the column cb_refid gives the sql error : ERROR: Invalid default value for 'message_last_sent'

Failing how? Sounds like you're just acting on a viewing users object so it's not going to return anything since their user id is always 0.

Also trying to drop the column cb_refid gives the sql error : ERROR: Invalid default value for 'message_last_sent'

That's normal if you're trying to manage your database outside Joomla/CB as your database is setting an SQL mode. Run the below SQL then try again.

Code:

SET GLOBAL sql_mode = '';
