[SOLVED] CB Auto Actions Code Action

Hi,

I want to use some PHP in the CB Auto Actions Code Action. I want to take a CB profile field value and put it in a Joomla session variable after user login. Can I use the Joomla API & CB API in this code and should I use PHP Eval? How would I access the CB User object, is it similar to $user->id etc in standard Joomla. Does anybody have a simple code example.

Many thanks in advance.

Can I use the Joomla API & CB API in this code

Yes.

should I use PHP Eval?

Depends on your host, some have it blocked, some don't.

How would I access the CB User object

Your code can utilize substitutions so you can use [user_id] for example. Otherwise you need to prepare a user object as shown below.

Hello krileon,

I try to put some php code, for example:

mysql_query("UPDATE test SET Identifiant = 99
WHERE id=2");

==> Why it doesn't have effect?
(the others auto action type like email for exemple work)

Because you never established a MYSQL connection so that's going to do nothing. If all you need is SQL then use a Query action and not a code action. The action is working, but your code is not because it's not valid; note it does not do debugging and error checking for you and you need to supply it working and valid code.

Thanks for your answer.
Indeed, it was one of my mistakes.
It works good ! long life to autoaction plugin.

(I used that php mysql_query only to test the php code type.
Now, I will try a bigger and more complex code..)
