Hi Krileon

EDIT: OK something is happening

im using

onAfterUserUpdate
onAfterUpdateUser
onAfterUserRegistration
onAfterNewUser

It is amending the cb_resume field value but the last part is going weird

$newFilename = '[cb:parse function="clean" method="string"][firstname][/cb:parse]_[cb:parse function="clean" method="string"][lastname][/cb:parse]_[user_id]_[cb_resume]';

resulted in a filename like this

Jonathan_Appleton_47_http://chevronj3.jacl.co.uk/profile/view-profile/fieldclass?field=cb_resume&function=download&user=47&reason=profile

So it's like the [cb_resume] field value it's getting after the user profile is updated is not the true value but instead is the url used to show the fiel upload when viewing your profile

Does this mean I need to have a different trigger so this happens before the profile is displayed? eg OnBeforeUserUpdate?

Just tried OnBeforeUserUpdate and nothing happens.....

WOOOHOOOO!

It's working.... field and filename are renamed

I had to use [var1_cb_resume]

Can you please just tell me the difference between

[cb_resume]
[var1_cb_resume]
[var2_cb_resume]
[var3_cb_resume]

I know on another action I check to see if a fields value has changed and if it has update a certain timestamp.

[var3_cb_resume] not equal to [var1_cb_resume]

So is var3 the new value saved and var1 the old value before saving profile?

The raw substitutions pass through APIs now and the PHP output for file fields is the download URL. So yes you need to use [var1_cb_resume] for the raw filename.

So is var3 the new value saved and var1 the old value before saving profile?

No, var1 is the new and var3 is the old.

Thank you again for taking the time to explain that to me, very much appreciated.

Now all I'm looking for is CB function to grab the file extension of the uploaded file be it pdf doc or docx so I can pin that to the end of my new filename.

Does CB have its own GetExt function or should I use the JFile::GetExt?

Thanks and ps the read more links in the forum notifications that im receiving are broken links so dont seem to be working in case you didnt realise?

thanks

Hi all sorted and putting the code here for anyone wanting to do the same thing

This code renames the uploaded file to have this format [firstname]_[lastname]_[userid].pdf (or doc/docx etc)

Code:

jimport('joomla.filesystem.folder');

$basePath = JPATH_SITE . '/images/comprofiler/plug_cbfilefield/[user_id]';
$oldPath = $basePath . '/[var1_cb_resume]';
$fileExt = JFile::getExt('[var1_cb_resume]');
$newFilename	= '[cb:parse function="clean" method="string"][firstname][/cb:parse]_[cb:parse function="clean" method="string"][lastname][/cb:parse]_[user_id].'.$fileExt;

if ( file_exists( $oldPath ) ) {
	@rename( $oldPath, $basePath . '/' . $newFilename );
	$user->set( 'cb_resume', $newFilename );
	$user->store();
}

Note of caution I found that having this same code running after new registration as well as after user updates was breaking the password encryption for some reason

new users passwords are being stored in plain text format in SQL

am trying to find out why
