Hello! I have a form that I am using to create a user account in Joomla, which works. But then I need the ID of the user to use in other tables (I am also adding them to SobiPro). Here's a link to the form: https://www.eslpassport.com/basic-business-form
​
If the business name you type doesn't exist, fields are displayed to create an account.
​
I am using a custom code area after the joomla registration (in the success area) with <?php
$form->data['user_id'] = $form->data['_PLUGINS_']['joomla_registration']['id'];
?>
​
Then, in the Save Data for the other tables, I try to call that data and insert it, but nothing I've tried works. I have currently {var:user_id} but I have tried {user_id} and {data:user_id}. Everything gives me 0.
​
I also need to be able to find the last entry in the sobi_objects table so I can link those tables, but I don't know how to do that. I can't use count because some have been deleted. How can I do these 2 things?[file=13170]Business_Registration_Form_Basic_20_Jul_2020_17_19_02.cf6bak[/file]

Just use the joomla_user action, and then the id is {var:joomla_user_action_name_goes_here.id}
​
$form->data['user_id'] won't work because that's CFv5 syntax. You'd want $this->data("user_id", $theInputValue, true)
{data:id} won't work because you're not submitting a form with an "id" input
{user_id} won't work because that's nonsense that doesn't do anything
{user:id} won't work because the user is not logged in yet
{var:user_id} won't work unless you have a PHP block or custom code action called "user_id" that returns the value

Thank you for resolving that for me. I now have it creating the joomla user and also generating a row in a sobi_object table with the user ID as the owner.
​
How can I get the ID of this newly inserted row so I can use as a key to add several other rows to a different table with this ID to link them.

In case it helps, here's what I have so far:
1. I moved the read data down to after the user is created and after the insert into the sobi table happens.
2. I changed the Read Data to pull the first record with that user id and like that name, and return an ID of that entry.
3. I changed the insert to use {var:read_data41}
​
This gives me a 0 so it's not right. I also tried {var:read_data41:id} but that also didn't work.

{var:savedataname.id_fieldname}

Thank you very much. I am still getting a 0 as my value. [file=13171]Business_Registration_Form_Basic_21_Jul_2020_22_37_45.cf6bak[/file]
I attached the backup file if that helps.

That won't work, because I won't have your tables so the save data action will be blank.
​
Better off showing me a screenshot of your save data action, the part where you're trying to use the newly inserted row's ID, and a copy paste of the debug.

I am sorry! I didn't think about that! [file=13174]read-action.jpg[/file]
