Create automation from User history Referral

minion

I need create custom user field - Refferal source - I created - DONE
I need take info from User history - Show Source - HTTP Refferal and put into my new user field - Create automation ????

Example1:

User history - Show Source - HTTP Refferal => HTTP_REFERER : https://www.domain/newsletter-alias?utm_source=acymailing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=XXXX
take this text => acymailing
put into Refferal source

Example2:

User history - Show Source - HTTP Refferal => HTTP_REFERER : https://www.domain/newsletter-alias?fbclid=XXXXXXXXX
take this text => fbclid
change to this => facebook or FB
put into Refferal source

If I make manualy from DB table I can and do it, but how can I make with automation?
Or have I develop custom script and run by cron?

Hi,

I'm afraid you can't do this in Acymailing. The best way to go would be to use your own script and run it periodically.

ok, I understand 🙂

We prepare new CLI plugin - Acymailing source by referrer

Adds CLI command that fills acymailing user field based on referrer from acym user history

So I go testing ...

I must say that it is very difficult to program plugins for Acymailing:

for example, due to missing Joomla core triggers (except for onAcymAfterUserSave)
due to Acy's own triggers, which are not passed on to other Joomla plugins but only to Acy's own pseudo-dynamic plugins

This is probably the price to pay for the fact that plugins for Acymailing must be compatible with Wordpress, so they do not respect the valid Joomla rules for programming plugins and using triggers.

For our own plugins, we had to create a new system plugin that implements Joomla triggers from other applications into Acymailing.
