[SOLVED] Profile View Auditing

Hi CB Team,

I first want to thank you for the support you've given me in my developmental crisis hour. Without CB we would never make our project on time.

My question is regarding profile auditing. For our site, the CB profiles for each user houses medical data to be used by EMTs to get patient data before they even arrive at the patients house in a 911 call. Because of this, the hospital and EMTs are required to keep track of every instance in which an EMT (or doctor) views a patients profile (medical data) .

I wanted to ask you genius experts if you had any ideas on how to record this kind of data? I was hoping to use CB query, but there is no onProfileView type trigger that would work. There is beforeProfileEdit and afterProfileEdit, but we're not talking about edits.

Any ideas at all would be most appreciated! Even if you've heard of other extensions that might work.

I've tried the j4age stat extension and it almost gives me what I need but unfortunately it doesn't quite do it.

Thanks!

but there is no onProfileView type trigger

Certainly not the case. The below trigger is fired directly before profile view.

onBeforeUserProfileDisplay

You also can use the trigger for after profile display as follows if necessary.

onAfterUserProfileDisplay

The best approach is to probably develop a plugin to fit your specific needs. All incubator projects are developed with Generic usage in mind and not specific usages. Below is a tutorial on Trigger usage in a CB plugin, which includes a installable example (that can be edited to fit your needs).

Thanks again Krileon, that list of event triggers is really going to help us out tremendously. As soon as we get good at creating our own plugins and components to work with CB I plan on using CB for years to come. Thanks again to the entire CB team for this wonderful product!
