Auto Set Custom Field

[mdwebhosting]

Hi Guys,

 

I have a custom field for BPay reference and I need to set the value of this custom field automatically when an account is created. I've tried to find any helps in the forum without any success. Please advise. Thanks.

You could do this with ActionHooks.

When a client is created assign them a reference.

Hi Shaun,

 

I've tried to do this in the actionhooks.php without any success. Please advise. Below is the code that I used.

 

function actionhook_ClientSignup($vars) {

# This function runs when a new client is added

# $vars["ClientID"]

# $vars["FirstName"]

# $vars["LastName"]

# $vars["CompanyName"]

# $vars["Email"]

# $vars["Address1"]

# $vars["Address2"]

# $vars["City"]

# $vars["State"]

# $vars["Postcode"]

# $vars["Country"]

# $vars["PhoneNumber"]

# $vars["Password"]

 

$uid = $vars['ClientID'];

 

$total = 0;

$even = 1;

 

while ($uid > 0) {

$val = ($uid % 10) * (++$even%2? 1 : 2);

if ($val > 10)

$val = ((int)($val / 10)) + $val % 10;

if ($val == 10)

$val = 1;

$total += $val;

$uid /= 10;

}

 

$ret = 10 - ($total % 10);

 

if ($ret >= 10)

$ret = 0;

 

$bpayid = $uid . $ret;

 

$sql = new mysqli('localhost', 'mdwh_scripte', 'nfX4wsT6j', 'mdwh_myacc');

$sql->query('INSERT INTO tblcustomfieldsvalues VALUES (3, $uid, $bpayid)');

}

Hi mdwebhosting & Shaun I also spent time trying to get this to work.

I seems that the Action Hook is called BEFORE any records are created in the DB thus there is no way of Updating them.

 

MATT is there a Action Hook that can be called on "Client Creation" but after all information is stored/created in the DB or a way of doing this in the current action hook?
