I know this is a common question, but none of the other answers have worked for me.
I have a function in datahandlers/user.php which is accessed from the user CP. Users input field data via a mod I made based on the default custom profile field functionality. Similar to how the table _profilefields has fid(n) which inserts into _userfields which has ufid(n); _characterfields has cfid(n) and inserts into _characters with primary key of cid(n).
However, _userfields has a blank row for each user at user creation, which is when modified later. I want my _characters table to insert the user's uid into a column called ucid, so that a single user can have multiple cid's attached to them.
My current function works to insert the field data, but doesn't insert the user's UID.
function insert_character()
{
global $db, $plugins, $cache, $mybb;
// Yes, validating is required.
if(!$this->get_validated())
{
die("The user needs to be validated before inserting it into the DB.");
}
if(count($this->get_errors()) > 0)
{
die("The user is not valid.");
}
$user = &$this->data;
if(is_array($user['usercharacter_fields']))
{
$query = $db->simple_select("characters", "*");
$fields = $db->fetch_array($query);
if(!$fields['ucid'])
{
$usercharacter_fields = array(
'ucid' => $userid
);
$fields_array = $db->show_fields_from("characters");
foreach($fields_array as $field)
{
if($field['Field'] == 'ucid')
{
continue;
}
$usercharacter_fields[$field['Field']] = '';
}
$db->insert_query("characters", $user['usercharacter_fields'], "ucid='{$user['uid']}'", false);
}
}
}
How do I populate the $user variable with uid? It keeps coming up as NULL. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
$usercharacter_fields = array(
'ucid' => $mybb->user['uid']
);
I've tried that before, still comes up as null...
^ this might sound silly, have you included global.php
usercp.php has global, I threw require_once "./global.php" at the top of user.php as well, but to no avail... do I need to put it somewhere else?
^ IIRC, you need to add it at top of your plugin file as it requires MyBB variables.
There is no plugin file--I used the word plugin to mean customization--sorry. The function in question is in user.php.
Edit: I thought maybe I've broken the $user in the usercp.php...?

Above you can see the usercp action, and the action executed when the button is pushed. Is this affecting my $user?
EDIT2: I tried making a separate function in user.php which looks like this:
function userid() {
global $db, $plugins, $cache, $mybb;
$userid=$mybb->user[uid];
echo $userid;
}
This returned the uid. So there must be something wrong inside my function.
