Generate Usernames

The onStartSaveUserRegistration trigger only recently started passing the user object through. Ensure you've the latest build release of CB installed or it won't work. It's also very important that the reference variable is set under the Parameters tab. That absolutely should be working fine to set the username on the user object. The fallback only applies if the username is empty.

We have the latest CB build but we cannot install the latest CB Auto Actions because the site has to use PHP 7.3 for the time being due to other extensions on the site. Would it still work with the following version of CB Auto Actions as long as we have the latest CB build?

CB Auto Actions :: 8.1.0+build.2021.09.17.15.43.10.d1f5f09a0

Would it still work with the following version of CB Auto Actions as long as we have the latest CB build?

Yes, it should still work fine. It's CB that needs to be up to date. Ensure CB Auto Actions itself is public and published in CB > Plugin Management as the supplied usage should be working. Maybe also try the following code usage to add the username to the POST data.

I was just reviewing all installed CB Joomla extensions and noticed something odd. Should our Admin Component still be 1.9.x ... and should we have two of them? Also, I think we're a few days behind on CB builds. See attached.

I was reviewing some of our other sites and it looks like the CB Administrator Component should definitely NOT be version 1.9.1 nor should we have two of them!

What's the safest approach to resolve this? I assume I need to manually override the CB component files. Should that work without breaking anything?

Ok, looks like there's some checks after that trigger that end up resetting the username. The below was the only way I was able to get this to work and have confirmed this works.
