How to get CB activity to display cb_fields after registration.

Hello,

Thanks for your help so far, i have the CB fields i want tracked and they are now showing when they are updated in the activity area.

But what i really wanted is to have all the custom fields display after someone is registered. New users that register on the site it only says "Newuser" has joined site. Can this be done?

So it looks like this:

"Newuser" has joined.
Name:
Lastname:
City:
Country:
Custom field1:
Custom field2:
etc.


Thanks

You'll need to edit profile activity model which handles the output of activity for registrations, profile updates, etc.. and add for it to output additional information.

components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbactivity/models/profile.php

Hello,

Ok so i can see this file but i am sorry i have no idea what to add and where to add it. I am not a coder so this is a little above my skills. Can you provide an example of where to edit and what to add for say the city and county? and an example of how to add a custom text field that we have created.

Thanks

You maybe able to just modify onAfterUserRegistration within components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbactivity/plugin.cbactivity.php instead.

You'll need to set a activity message then add your substitutions to it (it'll automatically parse out substitutions). Example as follows.


You'd add the above under the other "set" usages in that function.

It's also possible to disable the internal handling of that trigger and use CB Auto Actions to add custom activity however you like on the after registration trigger using the CB Activity action. This method would require no coding and just simple setup of an action if you prefer.

Hello,

Yes i would prefer the second method you have mentioned can you please point me to the documentation on how to achieve this?

I have begun to read some of the documents provided with the auto actions plugin but i cant seem to find the one that would do what i want. Im a bit lost as to how to configure this.

Thanks for all your support.
