Hi,
if you have PHP knowledge is simple. Try to read this article https://www.easy-profile.com/docs/44-triggers.html

You can download our skeleton plugin and customize.

if you want change data or insert custom code you can write something like this:

triggerProfileUpdate($user,$data,$changed,$isNew){ 

	

   if(!$isNew && in_array('alias_of_field1',$changed) && $data['alias_of_field1']=='custom_value_to_check')

   { 



      // Example: change some value

      $data['alias_of_field2']='something_to_assign';



      // ----- Other Code -----



   } 



}

Hi,

I would like to be able to put users in differennt groups (free, vip, super vip,...). According to this groups they will have different fields and functions.
I have a php-api for a dutch payment provider and i would like to let users pay for a user group (vip status). So after payment they automatically get vip status for the period they paid for.
Is it possible for me to create myself and can you give some directions?

Thnaks in advance

@Maf Ketel

Hi,
yes, but are only two things:
- To set avaibility of field only for some usergroups you must create Access Level (Administration->Users->Access Level), and set for fields or fieldgroups the access level parameter
- To insert user in usergroup(vip status) you can write something to add record to table #__user_usergroup_map in DB, or you may use a membership component.

Hi,

Do you have any experience with membership pro for this kind of functionality?

Also, maybe akeeba subscriptions can be used?

It's not a problem for me to some little coding myself.

What I want to do is: some users can fill 5 categories and other can fill 10 categories. But all categories have to be visible for guests to view.
I do not really get how to do that, can you give a little hint?
Thanks!

Hi,
before I reply to previous post

Do you have any experience with membership pro for this kind of functionality?

Yes, we use payplan but you can try with akeeba subscriptions (it's free, but not supported)

It's not a problem for me to some little coding myself. Easy Profile have hidden (for now,we have to write docs) API to implement plugins.
I will explain with an example for your usecase:
- Download our skeleton plugin (at https://www.easy-profile.com/docs/44-triggers.html) from our docs and install it
- Remove these functions triggerFieldAvatarUpdate, triggerProfileUpdate
- Add this code

public function renderPlugin()

	{

		if(JRequest::getVar('view',false)=='beforepay')

		{

                        

                        require_once(JPATH_SITE.'/components/com_jsn/helpers/helper.php'); // Load Helper

			$user=JsnHelper::getUser(); // retrieve easyprofile user object - might be useful



			// ADD THE CODE - BEFORE PAY (FROM YOUR PAYMENT METHOD API)

                        // YOU CAN STORE THE PAYMENT DATA IN SESSION,DB or FILE

                        // SET REDIRECT FOR YOUR PAYMENT TO index.php?option=com_jsn&view=afterpay



			$app=JFactory::getApplication();

			$app->redirect('your api link'); // Redirect to payment gateway or some confirmation page

			return;

			

		}

                if(JRequest::getVar('view',false)=='afterpay')

		{

			require_once(JPATH_SITE.'/components/com_jsn/helpers/helper.php'); // Load Helper

			$user=JsnHelper::getUser(); // retrieve easyprofile user object - might be useful

			

                        // ADD THE CODE - BEFORE PAY

                        // CHECK PAYMENT - SEND EMAILS TO ADMIN AND CUSTOMER

                        // SET VARIABLE $payment_ok

                        if($payment_ok){

                            JUserHelper::addUserToGroup($user->id,usergroup_id); // add to group - replace usergroup_id with valid id

                            $app=JFactory::getApplication();

			    $app->redirect('your api link'); // Redirect to thankyou page

			    return;

                        

                        }

                        else{

                            $app=JFactory::getApplication();

			    $app->redirect('your api link'); // Redirect to error page

			    return;

                        }

                        

		}

	}

renderPlugin function replace Easy Profile data with what you want!

In your page add a link to Payment - link is index.php?option=com_jsn&view=beforepay

We have not tested this code, is only for example!!

Second Question
You can add some other control (where clause) on query to render categories based on usergroup or accesslevel.
You can create various accesslevel and set in categories. You can check if user can see with this function

$user=JFactory::getUser();

$userAccess=$user->getAuthorisedViewLevels();

in where clause you can add

'WHERE access IN ('.implode(',',$userAccess).')'

Thanks or the info. I will get working on it and try to code the solution.

Hi, I got it working. I test on usergroup for the user that is displayed to decide to show some fieldsets (or fields). I use a hardcoded array of fieldsets (or fields) for this and a hardcoded usergroup id to accomplish this.
This works really nice.
I use akeeba subs to appoint groups to users according to subscriptions.

So again thanks for your help.
