[SOLVED] user_id with content bot plugin is not displayed in an article

I have been testing the plugin cb content bot for substitutions in articles. It works fine with the format

{cb:[FIELD]}

as in

{cb:[username]}

But, when I try to show the user id it shows the code text, like in:

{cb:[user_id]}

Instead of showing the id number of the actual user, shows the text [user_id]. Does this field needs something special? Or it's not the correct name?

Regards

Can I use conditions in articles, with content bot, to show some content, but with fields created by the user?

Like:

{cb:[cb:if id_equipo!=""]SHOW SOME CONTENT...[/cb:if]}

If the answer is affirmative, Is the notation used correct?

Because when I use it, not matter if I use != or = the article doesn't show anything. Not even the code. I mean, it doesn't matter if the condition is true or false, in every scenario it is executed as the condition was false, even if it is true. It never shows the content.

Instead of showing the id number of the actual user, shows the text [user_id]. Does this field needs something special? Or it's not the correct name?

Only reason for it to do that is if there is no user object to run substitutions through. Is the substitution target the viewing user or the article author?

Yes, by default it runs its substitutions against the article author. This can be reconfigured in the CB Content Bot plugin. Alternatively you change the user of the conditional as follows.

{cb:[cb:if user="#me" id_equipo!=""]SHOW SOME CONTENT...[/cb:if]}

The substitution target is the viewing user.

It worked great, thank you krileon.

I have the same problem, but this time with different versions:


Joomla 2.5.11
CB 1.9.1
Content bot 2.2.0

The plugin is installed and published.


I am using the same code as in the older versions in the other site:

{cb:[user_id]}

But what is shown in the page is:

[user_id]

I tried with different fields, but all are the same.

We just installed CB 1.9.1, because we had 1.9.0. And the plugin contentbot 2.2.0 seems to be compatible with 1.9.1. We thought that was the problem. But is showing the same way.

What could be the problem?
