I am just referring the Joomla User plugin events in the URL https://docs.joomla.org/Plugin/Events/User/en
onUserLogin onUserAuthenticate onUserBeforeSave Just wondering which one will help me to do something only when they validating their email address from the Email activation link?
Note: During the time of Email activation I have to connect to a SOAP server and validate few stuffs and then only allow him to activate the account.
you can do it this way: You create a user plugin (NOT authentication plugin, this one is separate), i called mine testwise "checkmail". In that plugin put the onUserBeforeSave callback, in wich you can check if the account is getting activated like this:
class PlgUserCheckmail extends JPlugin { /** * Application object * * @var JApplicationCms * @since 3.2 */ protected $app; /** * Database object * * @var JDatabaseDriver * @since 3.2 */ protected $db; public function onUserBeforeSave($oldUser, $isNew, $newUser) { if(!$isNew) { if(isset($oldUser['activation']) && !empty($oldUser['activation']) && isset($newUser['activation']) && empty($newUser['activation'])) { // These commands in here are only triggered if the user is activating his account } } } } Hope this helps =)
[edit]: Ah, i almost forgot: This plugin goes inside the plugins/user directory!
