Approval via Auto Action

Hi,

first of all: Thank you very much for the "Changing approval workflow based on CB field value" Tutorial.


It works almost perfect - unfortunately for me users are not enabled - but approved in the backend and the status do not appear in the workflow module.

And there is also a Auto Action (email) if the user is approved. Which is not triggered by the "enable/diable" function.


Any idea how to change this?

I use:

After user confirm
(Trigger set to a special field for freelancers)
Query:

UPDATE `#__comprofiler` SET `approved`= '0' WHERE `user_id` = '[user_id]'

UPDATE `#__users` SET `block`= '1' WHERE `id`= '[user_id]'


Thank you in advance!

That usage sets the user as requiring approval directly through database queries. This means no moderator email is sent and no pending approval triggers will fire. They also don't become pending approval until their email address has been confirmed (as it's acting on the after confirmation trigger). The workflows module also won't show users pending approval unless admin approval is enabled in CB > Configuration > Registration. They however should show as pending in CB > User Management.
