CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I just submitted a patch / pull request for Joomla 2.5 tracker here:

http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_id=11410&tracker_item_id=29769

Hope you can test and post on the tracker so this is included in next Joomla 2.5.9 release.

Looks like my Joomla 2.5 and 3.0 patches will be accepted.

So you can now trigger off one of the following events:

"onConfigurationBeforeSave" or "onConfigurationAfterSave"

I suggest the second one.

Let me know if I can help further on this one.

the onUserAfterSaveGroup() event is a little weak in the documentation area. but I implemented it with the understanding that it is fired whenever an ACL group is saved -- including when permissions are changed for the group.

when those triggers are fired, they call CRM_Core_BAO_Navigation::resetNavigation( );
that is definitely the right CiviCRM method to call, and should take care of the user's navigation cache. the function clears the navigation value in the setting table (for the user) and also removes any navigation rows from the main cache table.

I suspect that in some scenario, onUserAfterSaveGroup() is not getting fired as we expect, and that's where the problem lies.

I'm not opposed to clearing the nav cache on user login. we would use the onUserLogin($user, $options = array()) event to do that. i'll take a look.

FYI - there are 2 Joomla tracker items I have opened and also submitted patches for that need testing in order to be included in next Joomla releases:

Tracker items are:
