How to check if user filled in agent profile?

Hi Dam.

How to check if a logged in user has filled in Agent profile? Please see the module that I have written below - Its not working - Please help.

Thanks

Hi Dam,

There is a very important reason I asked this.

If a user clicks on joomla registration and becomes a member, as soon as he logs in he will try to add a property. When he clicks on "Add Property" OS property simply says ="You dont have permission to go to this area". This does not tell the logged in user WHY. They will simply get out of the site thinking they are not allowed to add property even after joomla registration and login.

You have used the same language constant "You dont have permission to go to this area" for many places so I cannot even override this - It will show the new text everywhere.

This is why I created that module which I can use to display a custom text that "Hey user, you are logged in but to add a property, you need to complete your Agent/Owner profile".

Please think like a site visitor - If you login to a site you want to register and get started. A message such as "You dont have permission" will only confuse users.

Also when a joomla user tries to add a property, he should be RE-DIRECTED to the agent profile completion page.

Thanks

Hi Kalesh,
You are correct, i already have the idea to implement the Error layout for all cases (agents, companies, permission .etc), i will implmenent it for version 2.6.1
Thanks

Thanks Dam.

It will still be helpful to get the php code to check if user has filled in Agent profile. This way we can display custom modules prompting users to complete profile. Can you please see the code below and I think it would be just a few lines of code to check if a user has entries in osrs_agent table. If its easy please suggest the code if not, please give some hints and I will try myself.

Hi,
It means you want to have the code to update registered user to become Owner or Agent automatically?
Thanks

It means you want to have the code to update registered user to become Owner or Agent automatically?

No Sir - Its not a good idea to do that - I just was looking for the few lines of code to check if a joomla user has filled in Agent profile or not.

In my example code I was thinking will do the trick of checking if joomla user has filled in profile but it does not work.

Once I have the php code to check if the user has filled in Agent profile or not, I will use my custom module to display a nice module with some text saying - "Please complete your Agent profile before you can add property". I can share my module mod_Ospropertyprofilecomplete to you as an addition to osproperty if you want

Thanks

Hi Dam,

I have figured out the code to check if user has filled in Agent profile. Its only 5 or 6 lines of code.

Thanks

I have completed the module's version 1. I have linked a image of how the module looks like. I have coded a profile completeness meter based on the fields I use and it also prompts the username

OK, good

Hi Dam - I forgot about 2nd part that I asked.

When a joomla user tries to add a property, he should be RE-DIRECTED to the agent profile completion page.

Are you planning to implement this in version 2.6.1 instead of just saying "You dont have permission"?

Thanks
