[SOLVED] Choosing which modules are displayed when CB throws error message on sign in

I am trying to display certain modules around the sign in page. Works fine on the usual sign in page but if the user has not activated their account CB sends the user back to a/the sign in page with an error message along the lines "if you haven't activated your account etc".

Problem I have is that this sign in page + error message isn't being addressed for the purposes of placing modules around it. There are no modules.

I have tried adding the url to a hidden menu (SEF is on) and that doesn't work. Adding CB sign on option via hidden menu doesn't work either. Otherwise all other things work fine.

Disable SEF then reproduce the error message. Now review what Itemid is in the URL in your browsers address bar. Match that Itemid to its Joomla menu link and that'll be the menu item you need to assign modules to. Normally this is just your CB profile menu link.

Thanks for this but I'm hoping now to approach the problem from a different angle. I would prefer to redirect the user to a page where I can configure the message myself and it makes it much easier to decide on module configuration.

Using CB actions (wonderful tool) would appear to offer a way but I'm unsure what condition I'm checking for. I thought I could use loginAuthentication and onBeforeUserActive but that just redirects all logins. Using only the onBeforeUserActive doesn't work possibly because I need to add a conditional to check that the account has been activated - problem is - I have no idea if I'm using the right action trigger .

All I want to do is check if the user account is activated and if not then redirect else login as normal.

You should be able to use onBeforeLoginFormDisplay then have a conditional to check if [var2] is not empty then redirect. Example as follows.

Type: Redirect
Triggers: onBeforeLoginFormDisplay
Access: Everybody
Conditional 1: [var2] Not Empty
URL: index.php

Hi,

Thanks for this - CB Actions is obviously a really useful tool. Just a shame there is so little documentation.

Case in point - I can work out what the trigger is and even know I need test if something is true (if then else sort of construct) but the lack of any documentation means I have no idea what [var2] is .

Is there any documentation about how to work out which database parameters/field values are available to test and what they're called ?

Thanks

<Later>

I'm still doing some testing but the following seems to be working as intended

onDuringLogin
everybody
[confirmed] NOT EQUAL 1
URL

Not sure why confirmed EQUAL 0 doesn't work but there you go

Case in point - I can work out what the trigger is and even know I need test if something is true (if then else sort of construct) but the lack of any documentation means I have no idea what [var2] is .

CB Auto Actions trys to parse var1 to 10. These are the variables sent by the trigger. All of which is documented below for every trigger in CB. Find the trigger you'd like to use in the list and you'll be able to see what variables it sends, which can be substituted in CB Auto Actions.

Specifically for that trigger [var2] is the login error message.
