I'm not sure why it doesn't work. We have tested that plugin with JLinked v2.2 locally and it does work. We tested with just first_name and last_name, but it really shouldn't matter with other fields as long as your database information is correct.

I did update the "Always Import Data" setting to 'Yes' and then tried to login to your site. I don't have any way to see if the data was properly saved. Can you check if my info came in?

Let me know how it's going. Not sure why it wouldn't work, but we'll gladly keep investigating.

Thanks,
Alex

It shouldn't be anything in your server if the login process in general is working since that means that communication with LinkedIn (or Google+ or Facebook) is working properly.

The main things I can suggest to check are:
* The database table name is correct and exists
* You've created each of the columns that you're trying to save into the table
* The columns are the correct format (mainly, VARCHARs or TEXT types).

Finally, the next best thing I'd recommend testing is adding a column like "first_name" and "last_name" and setup the plugin to only save into those fields for now. See if that stores just those 2 fields properly and that will help narrow things down a bit.

Let me know how that goes as I'm really not sure what could be wrong. There's about a half a dozen users testing the Custom DB plugin and, while there are some issues, none of them have had issues with saving the data.. so this is strange.

Keep me posted,
Alex

hey tested with 1 field only which is a varchar(64) field and tried to import first name in to it and got nothing.

i thought it was because our component doesnt create an entry in the db table until some profile data is saved, but i tried that and nothing there either

could it be the table key i have set to userid and joomla user id as the first column in the table is called userid not user_id which was there by default?

Yes, that could definitely be it. You need to use the exact column names from your database in the settings or else our queries will fail. If your column in the database is userid, that's what you should be using so that our query uses that as the key.

Keep me posted if that helps,
Alex

Then I'm not sure. Can you give me the table name and column definitions for your table and then either:
a) send me FTP access to your site so I can make modifications and test or
b) Up my credentials to be able to use the Joomla installer? This lets me re-install the customDB plugin with updates to print out debug info and such.

Thanks,
Alex

I just updated the plugin on your site to the newest version that we've been testing. The new version only has minor updates for the importing of data and no real fixes in that area.

The main change is the removal of the 'Database Columns' field. The plugin now just lists all columns in the table you've configured. This should make things a little more error-proof and less confusing when configuring the profile import fields.

Everything seems setup right on your site and I tried using the Signin with LinkedIn button on the home page. There was a row added to your database with my LinkedIn profile address and the userid was the same as my Joomla ID. So, it seems like things work.. please test with more fields though and let me know how it goes.

If you get things going and need the installer for the plugin, just let me know. We'll probably post it live soon for others to test at will.

Thanks,
Alex
