Question about registration possibilities

Question about registration possibilities was created by sallymander
I'm not sure if CB has the capability to do this, so please help if you have the answer:

When a user registers for the site I am building, I need the registration information to exported (xml file?) to our membership coordinator who uses filemaker pro to manage the support group information.
Is it possible to send that information to her automatically when a user registers, preferably as a file she can import into filemaker?

I will GREATLY appreciate any help!!!!

If your client is using FileMaker Server (9 or greater), you could use the PHP API to connect directly to the database. We just created a php script that finds records created in FileMaker & automatically create a CB/Joomla profile.
Today, I just realized there is a Community Builder API that would help to facilitate the integration even more, but we just created records directly in the MySQL tables. I'm sure what you are trying to do can be done with little effort.

Hello,

I need to connect Filemaker 11 Advanced with CB.
Would you please explain more about your script?

This integration was done in three parts:
  1. Specific modifications to FileMaker database such as required fields (flags) that the API looks for to process new records. As well as a few scripts that will be called when changes are made in FileMaker to 'push' modifications to Joomla.
  2. A variety of PHP scripts called by a cron job to automate a profile creation. (This process will batch all pending records in one call)
  3. A Community Builder Plugin to send Joomla profile changes back to the FileMaker Database.

We would be happy to talk to you more about this integration and how it can be set-up for your environment.
We tried to make it as generic as possible when creating, but there would still be some customization needed to match individual requirements.
