Access to profile variables after form create

I want to be able to send an email among other things after a user submits a new profile. I need to have access to the data the user just submitted in order to perform my custom post-processing. I saw the example hook that was written for Drupal that enabled you to send an email after form creation...if i wanted to hack something similar for joomla, where in the code is the appropriate place for me to start playing around?
Thanks!
Meredith

cool, thanx for the request
civicrm 1.5 now has preliminary support for joomla hooks
. U need to define a function called joomla_civicrm_post( ) as defined below (pretty much identical to the drupal sample function) U need to add this function to either the frontend civicrm.php file or the backend admin.civicrm.php file or both. i just tested it and works quite nicely
also i checked the custom file image stuff and that seems to be fixed too. we'll do a release later today / tomorrow
Code: Select all
function joomla_civicrm_post( $op, $objectName, $objectId, &$objectRef ) {
// only interested in the profile object and create operation for now
if ( $objectName != 'Profile' || ( $op != 'create' && $op != 'edit' ) ) {
return;
}
require_once 'CRM/Utils/Mail.php';
$fromName = 'My Org Administrator';
$fromEmail = 'my@my.org';
$from = CRM_Utils_Mail::encodeAddressHeader( $fromName, $fromEmail );
$toEmail = $objectRef['email-1'];
$toName = "{$objectRef['first_name']} {$objectRef['last_name']}";
$params = print_r( $objectRef, true );
$subject = "Thank you for supporting My Org";
$message = "
Dear $toName:
Thank you for your show of support. The details u signed up with are:
$params
Regards
My Org Team
";
$cc = 'cc@my.org';
CRM_Utils_Mail::send( $from,
$toName,
$toEmail,
$subject,
$message,
$cc );
}
