Hi guys!

Is there a way to make use of foundry.php outside of joomla environment?
i have a script i made that takes easysocial users and some specific profile fields and puts them into a json file to use for other reasons.

I either want to call this script when the user updates their profile (cant find what view does that tho)
OR
schedule to run that script with a cronjob.
the script cant access foundry.php outside of the joomla environment tho.

Thanks for any advice!
Hi Benjamin,

Perhaps, you can call your script inside the controller file instead located in:
.../components/com_easysocial/controllers/profile.php
in the save function

Hope this help.

You're suggested to backup the file that you want to customize beforehand for precaution

thank you for your quick response!

this is the code im trying to inject


require_once( JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_easysocial/includes/easysocial.php' );



$groupId = '23'; // define which memberoup you want to display.

$model = FD::model('Groups');

$members = $model->getMembers( $groupId, array( 'users' => true ));





foreach ($members as $member) {

$item = array(



'username' => $member->getName(),

'mixer' => $member->getFieldData('mixerchannel'),

'twitch' => $member->getFieldData('twitchchannel'),

'dlive' => $member->getFieldData('dlivechannel'),

'youtube' => $member->getFieldData('youtubelink'),

'shedrole' => $member->getFieldData('shedrole'),

'contentcreator' => $member->getFieldData('contentcreator'),

'avatar' => $member->getAvatar('medium')

);

$file_data_array[]=$item;

}

$fp = fopen('results.json', 'w');

fwrite($fp, json_encode($file_data_array));

fclose($fp);


the result is "results.json" file
ive tried inserting this into the file you mentioned after 


public function save()

	{

but it doesnt seem to initiate

I know this is beyond helpdesk scope, i appreciate your help
