When a user logs on to a Joomla site, I want to be able to retrieve their CiviCRM profile. I've synchronised users to contacts so how do I use this. I can get the Joomla username and/or email addres.

Up to now I've been using the emaila ddres, but the user can change his CiviCRM email address so the link no longer works.

Help? :-)

Joomla users are mapped to corresponding CiviCRM contacts by the 'synchronize' function. The mappings are stored in civicrm_uf_match table.

If you create a CiviCRM Profile 'edit' menu option for authenticated users, that profile form will be preloaded w/ their contact data when they visit the form.

There are a number of freely available Joomla extensions which include code to grab contact data based on logged in user - if you're looking for a programmatic solution I'd check them out:

if you have the j! user id, you can use the api.

In drupal, if you don't put the user id, it default to the connected one:

civicrm_api("UFMatch","get", array ('version' =>'3'))

(haven't tried on Joomla, would be good to let us know if it works)

this works

<?php
// Get the current user's ID
// Input None
// Output ID if user is logged on else Null
require_once 'api/api.php';
function GetUsersCIVIcrmID()

{
   $user =& JFactory::getUser();
   $joomla_id = $user->id;

   $params = array(
      'uf_id' => $joomla_id,
      'return.contact_id' => 1,
      'version' => 3,
   );

   $result = civicrm_api( 'uf_match','get',$params );
   $values = array_values ($result['values']);
   $contact_id = $values[0]['contact_id'];
   return $contact_id;
}
?>

Hi,

Glad you got it working. Few comments:

- Usually don't need to require the api.php (at least in the latest civi versions)
- the return is usually not necessary, but it's a good habit (especially with things like contact, that got a gazillion fields by default you don't care about).
- you can also use return='contact_id,other_field" or return = array () (the later not so sure) that I find more compact

X+

Thanks for your comments

as an old style coder (I used to Write FORTRAN code for a living in the 70's, 80's and into the 90's) I'm used to making things explicitly clear and not making any assumptions in the code - generally because other people make different assumptions
