I have a site where I want users to save their data but it shouldn't be available for public until approval, so I built the following:
A registered tab with all fields user can save
A special tab with a single checkbox for approval [cb_approval]
A public tab with 'copies' of fields in registered tab
The process is as follows (user is already active):
User saves its data
An administrator reviews profile, approves changes and saves profile again
A field autoaction, triggered by 'save' action, checks if approval field is checked and then copies registered field value into respective public field
Bad thing it doesn't work, I attach a screen of current autoaction settings.
Other features that may be relevant (I disable them in order to ease things but it didn't help and doubt persists):
All public fields are text ones, registered ones vary (there are checkboxes, radios, lists, etc.)
Public fields are read-only
Checkbox values are not "Yes" and "No", but are "1" and "0" (usually when 0 it nulls it). I suggest setting your Conditional as follows.
[cb_approval] Not Empty
or
[cb_approval] Equal To 1
Either of the above should give the desired affect. Always remember to test your actions without a conditional before saying they don't work as configuration of the conditional is the common place users misconfigure.
Also if you're updating multiple fields you're probably best using a Query action instead of say 20 Field actions. Example as follows with a query.
Code:
UPDATE `#__comprofiler` SET `cb_myfield1` = '[VALUE]', `cb_myfield2` = '[VALUE2]' WHERE `id` = '[user_id]'
