CB content module and user not retrieved was created by activha

Well this time I am trying to use the CB content module to retrieve the content of a tab displaying a user which is not the logged in user.

I have written [cb:usertab tab="62" user="694" /] but the module does only show the content of the logged in user and not the 694 one.

Our remote developer wrote the plugin code using this :

Code:

$CB = new CB;
         $userid = JRequest::getVar('user');         
         $sUsername = CB::getUsernameByID($userid);
         if(!$sUsername){
             $sUsername = JFactory::getUser()->username;
         }

With this function in CB.class.php :

Code:

function getUsernameByID($iUid) {
        $oDB = JFactory::getDBO();

        $sQuery = 'SELECT username FROM #__users WHERE id = ' . $iUid;
        $oDB->setQuery($sQuery);
        $sUsername = $oDB->loadResult();

        return $sUsername;
    }

so I changed the line

Code:

$userid = JRequest::getVar('user');         
         }

for

Code:

$cbUser =&	CBuser::getInstance( $user->id );
 			if ( ! $cbUser ) {
			$cbUser	=&	CBuser::getInstance( null );
			}
			$user =&	$cbUser->getUserData();
        	$userid = $user->id;

and now everything seems better, is that correct ?

I follow on the first question with a second one:

Would it be possible to add a php request in the substitution like
[cb:usertab tab="62" user="<?php something here ?>" /]

We will use this module within a Facebook page iframe and we need to find out the userid by testing the Facebook id being displayed

I have written [cb:usertab tab="62" user="694" /] but the module does only show the content of the logged in user and not the 694 one.

Please try the below to render the tab as substitution.

[cb:usertab tab="62" user_id="694" /]

Our remote developer wrote the plugin code using this :

Don't know where the PHP is coming from, did you edit the module? Please do not implement hacks to the module, they're not necessary.

[cb:usertab tab="62" user="<?php something here ?>" /]

No.

I recommend you develop a custom landing page that has no integration with Joomla expect through database queries. Keep in mind your canvas page will have access to Facebooks JS API, which is ideally what you should only be utilizing. They did not design canvas pages to load iframes of websites into them. They were designed for loading Facebook applications off-site (reduces load on their server).

Based off previous thread understood you wanted to just load your site as iframe and be done with it. Interacting with Facebook as well is going to require you to do a lot of edits to your site and probably breaking it when outside of Facebook. Canvas pages grant the page being loaded access to Facebooks JS API, which is what your landing page would utilize to get Facebook user information.

As it isn't really Joomla related I've no idea. Joomlancers is typically what I recommend, but you need someone specifically skilled in PHP, JS, and Facebook API and not so much in Joomla.
