Does anyone has any experience with it?
I've found nothing, neither in the readme.txt, nor online. Am I missing something?

What readme?
Hi Filippo!
Are you trying to use data manipulation hook?
yep!
In readme.txt you can find an example at line 206.
BTW you need to create a PHP file where you need to use array $result.
For example if you want to set department field you need to use $result["department"] ='Something' or you can use shibboleth attribute in this way $address = $_SERVER[$this->config->field_map_address];
If you explain more in detail what you want to do I can try to help you.
First of all thanks a lot for the reply!
What i'm trying to achive is to assign some profile data values to the incoming users. For example
user1 log in with shibbolet into moodle and I have on moodle (or on a csv file) user1 building, security level, nature of the risk he's exposed during work hours. (profile_field_securitylevel, profile_field_risktype, profile_field_building)
I'd like to assign my user1 from shibboleth with the informations I have about him.
If you want to use custom fields you can't use $user->profile_field_building='something' because you can use only user fields.
You can try this solution:
- when the user log in search in csv file if the user exists in the file.
- if you have found informations about him you have to insert them with a query
- I've used update_record (http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Data_manipulation_API#Updating_Records)
- in my case I need to set a custom field "Matricola"
$fieldid = $DB->get_field('user_info_field', 'id', array('shortname' => 'matricola'));
if (isset($fieldid)) {
$info = $DB->get_record('user_info_data', array("userid" => $user->id, "fieldid" => $fieldid));
if ($info) {
$info->data = $matr;
$DB->update_record('user_info_data', $info, false);
} else {
$record = new stdClass();
$record->userid = $user->id;
$record->fieldid = $fieldid;
$record->data = $matr;
$id = $DB->insert_record('user_info_data', $record, true);
}
}I hope it will help you!
Thanks!
I'll look into it right away
