CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I'm at a loss to figure out how to extend the matching logic. None of the defined Hooks seem appropriate or I'm missing something.  The docs I found define the existing match logic as:

The (CMS) user is linked to an EXISTING (CiviCRM) contact record based on email address.
Instead of a simple "email address" match, I want a more granular match based on First Name, Last Name and Email Address.

Does anyone have any pointers on where I would go to make this extension to CiviCRM? Thanks!

I want this at user registration.

I've finally decided to write my own custom code to handle this.  After a new User Registration is saved (in Joomla) I'm simply looking to see if a match was created. If it was, I update the civicrm_uf_match record with the correct match.  Otherwise, if no match is found (which seems to be way too often), I'm adding a match record.

I have no idea if this is going to work, but we'll see. Since UFMATCH isn't implemented through the civicrm_api() yet for Create/Update, I'm having to update the database directly.

It's a round-about way, but I'm hoping it will work.
