help with autoaction

didn't work with GET, only works with POST

spoke too soon. I must have gotten tricked because it's not working anymore (if it ever did). I tried using GET to no avail.

I was using the wrong fields to write the new coordinates from Google, but fixing them doesn't make the AA fire.

Here's my URL and settings are same as before. The file works and geocodes properly if I call it via browser like this: site/map/update_geo_code.php?user_id=250





I just do not think it is firing at all.

using these Triggers:
onAfterUserUpdate,onAfterUserRegistration,onAfterUpdateUser,onAfterNewUser

CBAA plugin is enabled as is the AA action itself.

It should fire on every registration and profile update based off the configuration. It should be firing just fine, but your URL and Request isn't setup properly. Don't use both, use one or the other.

Usage 1:
URL: site/update_geo_code.php?user_id=[user_id]
Method: GET
Request: Empty

Usage 2:
URL: site/update_geo_code.php
Method: GET
Request: user_id=[user_id]

Don't use both are the same time. All it does is fire an HTTP request using snoopy. This is not the same as browsing to the URL. Your PHP needs to be able to handle this request properly. It's also silent so you won't truly know it's working or not unless your script has some sort of logging in place to know that it was reached or outputs a response and you've the action configured to output the response.

no combination of those worked sadly. The php does output. I have it set to output the query but nothing is displayed on the site after an profile update.

The weird thing is that on another site I have this works perfectly well.

I'm at a loss here.

I need to test a normal file just to see if the AA is firing. Can I point the URL to any php file with a simple echo line to see if it outputs after a profile save?

**edit** to test I put this into a file called test.php and then the URL is now site/test.php with GET and user_id=[user_id] in the Request:
I have all errors and output set to "Show".

Shouldn't I see some sort of output when I save using that? All I see is "Your settings have been saved."

Yes, but you need to set the action to output errors, return values, and enable debugging. It should then give you all the info you need to figure out why your HTTP request isn't working.

Yes and no. You're outputting during a redirect so you'll see nothing. To force CB to stop you need to enable debug mode and maximum error reporting in Joomla global configuration and CB will stop its redirects to output echoes, etc..

here's output from debug (not all of it, but what seemed pertinent)

Site Debug mode: CB redirection with message "Your settings have been saved." without empty output
During its normal operations Community Builder often redirects you between pages and this causes potentially interesting debug information to be missed. When your site is in debug mode (global joomla/mambo config is site debug ON), some of these automatic redirects are disabled. This is a normal feature of the debug mode and does not directly mean that you have any problems.
