Re: [jgen] What do you think about a 'created_by' property for the user class? I think there is a good reason to have it.

i think it can be good but not much useful

Hello,

through a current work i came to the following question:

Users can be created by a user itself through the registration form or by the site admin through the backend. Now, if i have a routine hooks up the onUserLogin event to check if this user is member of a specific group and if not to add it to this group, then there is some information required, who created this user. In my case, i want all users, that register themselves through the registration form to get auto-added to the new group, but users created by the admin must not. So, the plugin handling the onUserLogin event needs to know who created this user.

This is why i wonder, if we could add another user class property 'created_by' to get around this issue. 

What do you guy think?

Why look at the cms? You can easily do this yourself;

Take a look at the user plugins. 

What you want, is something that hooks on to the onUserAfterSave and saves the creator in database - fx in the #__user_profiles table, which is already used by the profile plugin.

It will not become a property on the actual user object, but you can extract the value as you like anyway.

And best of all - It shouldn't take more than a few mins to make. :)
