Joomla User Updates

When a member changes their password in the aMember system, it does not update in the Joomla database. Is there some way of getting that to happen automatically or do they need to change it in two places?

I have the same problem too. Is the problem solved yet?

Me, too

I am also having this problem. I believe I have the latest plugin. I just downloaded them two days ago.

Any more advice?

I'm still having this problem as well. Passwords are not being updated in Joomla when changing them in Amember even after updating to the latest version of the Joomla plugin and the Amember system.

Here's my function:

function joomla_updated($member_id, $oldmember,$newmember){
global $db, $config, $plugin_config;

$this_config = $plugin_config['protect']['joomla'];
$jom_db = $this_config['db'];

$pass = md5($newmember['pass']);
$email = $db->escape($newmember['email']);

foreach ($newmember as $k=>$v)
$newmember[$k] = $db->escape($v);

$max = joomla_get_max($oldmember['data']['status']);
$block = ($max == '') ? 1 : 0;
$db->query($s = "UPDATE {$jom_db}users
SET password='$pass', email='$email', username='$newmember[login]',
gid='$max', block='$block',
name='$newmember[name_f] $newmember[name_l]'
WHERE username='$oldmember[login]'
AND usertype='user'
");
}

This is good news, but my subscription for joomla plugin has ended. I have this plugin almost for 6 months with this bug reported from me, and I can't download it anymore. Should I purchase again the plugin??? If the bug fix is easy, can you post it here in the forum?

Huh?

That's an interesting question- do all the plugins and products we buy here expire?

We disabled updating passwords a while ago, but tried this ability again - no worky worky. We tried updating the Joomla plug-in but are having the same problems mentioned by others. The new user logins show up in the Admin area, aMem, and our Forum, the info just isn't getting passed to Joomla's Front end. I can also see where the line AND usertype='user' was changed to 'admin'.

The Joomla team is always making improvements, so these things are to be expected. If any other users are getting this to work, post what you did.

Running Joomla 1.0.11 and aMem Pro 2.3.8

Works well for me now

Hi all,

I downloaded and installed the new plugin this morning on my local test server (Joomla 1.0.11 and aMemberPro 2.3.8). I am pleased to say that on first glance it appears works well and even fixed a problem I was having elsewhere on this forum with Joomla not setting the $my object properly in the frontend.

Next step is a bit more testing before rolling it out to Clients production sites. Thanks to Alex for keeping up with the pace of the Joomla folks.

Just updated to aMember 3.0.5 with the Joomla mambot (running 1.0.11). Love it. I did have to create a Menu link to the details page and set it as published for registered users . The documentation and script looks like it provides this function, but I gues my Login Form doesn't have the User Details link. Google, here I come. I'll probably add this manually, then post it here in case anyone wants it. Also removed the Logout link on the aMember Details Page to force users to use the mambot logout link.

Second, when users are logged in and go to the Details Page, Joomla is showing the Login Form as if they aren't loged in. When they leave the Details Page, Joomla is fine and displays their logged in status. Probably something minor on my end, but I can hear the confusion now UPDATE: this was caused by a link that did not include "www."

Still, using the Mambot is a definate improvement, with a bit of tweaking it'll soon be perfect.
