Hi,

I was asked to record every member registration twice. Once into EE as usual and at the same time record it into another database outside EE.

I considered solving this on the database level using MYSQL trigger. Is there an EE solution to this? Could I write a plugin to do this?

Thanks,

Luke

Hi Luke,

you need to write an Extension:

and your extension will use those hooks:

Thanks Pv! One more question. I have Solespace User module installed. Would that complicate my life?

I think that it will be ok with User.

Good luck 😊

Hi,

I got this extension working nicely. But I have a question.

So I am now recording member registrations in another database. However the password is encrypted - salted SHA1 if I am not mistaken. That means I will always have to access it according to the encryption, right? Is there any other way to record password?

Thanks,
Luke

The password can also be ‘encrypted’ with MD5. The login function will try to match both password in SHA1 or MD5. No sure if there is other method.

Hi,

So my extension worked nicely on my testing environment but failed on production where I had Solespace User module installed. So I am now looking at how I can hack my way around this.

I found this thread:
http://www.solspace.com/forums/viewthread/8664/
pretty old. and I could;t figure out the hack described in the first post.

Does anyone have any clue?

Thanks,
Luke
