Books for you

This example demonstrates how we can set the user's foo parameter and save the
changes to the database:
// get the user and add the foo parameter
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$user->setParam('foo', 'bar');
// update the raw user parameters
$params =& $user->getParameters();
$user->set('params', $params->toString());
// save the changes to the database
if (!$user->save())
{
JError::raiseError('SOME_ERROR', JText::_('Failed to save
user'));
}
Next we will explore parameters that a user can update via a form. We will begin by
creating an XML file that defines the extra parameters. We will see the parameters in
detail in the Appendix. The following XML defines two text parameters, myparameter
and myotherparameter:



label="My Parameter" description="An example user
parameter" />
label="My Other Parameter" description="An example user
parameter" />


We can create form elements using this XML and the user's JParameter object.
