How to create new CB entry on user_register

@ nicolasalejalonso

Thanks for your interest in Connections. What you want to to do is possible but it will be difficult because admittedly adding entries programmatically is kind of a pita which is something I really have to fix. The logic in adding an entry is really all based around receiving the data from the add entry form.

You actually want to use the cnEntry_Action::add() method. You find it in the class.entry-actions.php file which is in the same folder as the class.entry-data.php file.

One of the first things you’ll need to do in you action callback is “bootstrap” it with the required files, actions and filters so you can add an entry. Expanding on your code:

add_action('user_register','clone_cbentry');
function clone_cbentry($user_id) {

	// The class for handling admin notices.
		require_once CN_PATH . 'includes/admin/class.message.php';

	// The class for processing admin actions.
		require_once CN_PATH . 'includes/admin/class.actions.php';

	// Process entry categories.
		add_action( 'cn_process_taxonomy-category', array( 'cnAdminActions', 'processEntryCategory' ), 9, 2 );

	// Entry Meta Action
		add_action( 'cn_process_meta-entry', array( 'cnAdminActions', 'processEntryMeta' ), 9, 2 );

	// Geocode the address using Google Geocoding API.
		add_filter( 'cn_set_address', array( 'cnEntry_Action', 'geoCode' ) );

	// Result will be either FALSE, on failure, or the entry ID, on success.
	$result = cnEntry_Action::add( $entry_data );
}

$entry_data will be an array containing the data for the entry to be created. Look at the beginning of cnEntry_Action::process() to see how to build that data array.

Also, address, phones, email and such are repeatable fields in Connections so the data for those need to be an array too. You’ll want to look at the corresponding methods in the class.entry-data.php file.

Hope that helps you get on your way!

Hi! Thanks for the explanation but still doesn’t understand how to pair the values of the WP form to the array.

The idea of the whole thing is to create a CN entry that match the next info:
– Profile info
wp-EMAIL -> cn-EMAIL (WORK ADDRESS, PREFFERED)
wp-FNAME -> cn-FIRST_NAME
wp-LNAME -> cn-LAST_NAME
– Additional info
wp-GDROLE_MC -> cn-TITLE
wp-GDDEPT_MC -> cn-DEPARTMENT
wp-GDORG_MC -> cn-IN-CATEGORY, cn-ORGANIZATION,
wp-GDCOUNTRY_MC -> cn-ADDRESS[COUNTRY]
wp-GDANNIV_MC -> cn-DATE[ANNIVERSARY]
wp-GDBIRTH_MC -> cn-DATE[BIRTHDAY]
wp-GDLEG_MC -> cn-HONORIC_SUFFIX

Could you please give me a few instructions to sync one input at least? I understand PHP coding but still have a long way to clarify these files.

Thank you!
