How can users delete the own account?

I have been following this thread with great interest - nice to see people helping each other ...

RegReminder - not familiar with this script.

If it just removes the user from the Joomla user tables then there will be problems with left-over garbage in databases and file system.

Example: When a user is deleted from the CB User Manager triggers fire to clean up things like:

- user avatar
- profile gallery items (files and database)
- profilebook items
- uddeIM messages

If you just remove the Joomla user you are not really purging the data of the user.

It's integrated with Community Builder so I should imagine it deletes the CB data too.

But good point Nant, I'll e-mail RegReminder and ask them.

I've asked the regreminder developer, and he uses joomla functions to remove the user ("When regreminder deletes a user it uses the standard Joomla delete method."). I'm not sure if that will trigger the cleanup properly?

Hmmm.

Perhaps the code to remove CB tables etc can be added to the existing code?

Oris there a CB clean up plugin that we can just run from time to time?

Deleting a Joomla user does not delete the CB user, it's not running any cleanup or triggers that let plugins do cleanup. It should fire the below CB function to properly delete the user.

cbDeleteUser( $user_id );

So you'll probably want to modify the extension to load in CB API and fire the above instead of doing a Joomla delete.

I have a question about this way of unsubscribing.

The unsubscribing works fine with auto actions, however I have a connection with an external system which also needs to know when a user is unsubscribed.

I can do this by making a link or redirect and adding "?unsubscribe_confirmed=1" behind it. I just don't know how to make this happen when a user unsubscribes.

When taking the steps it should be in the following order
1) User ticks the unsubscribe box on his profile and presses 'edit'
2) The ?unsubscribe_confirmed=1 needs to be used to tell the external database that the currently still logged in user has been unsubscribed
3) The auto action will set the confirmed field to 0

I noticed that the auto action doesn't log the user out, so maybe I can use that somehow.

Can I use an auto-action that adds/runs ?unsubscribe_confirmed=1 somehow in the background before it sets the confirmed field to 0?
