The phplist-dual-registration plugin also takes input from registration. It has this function:

function subscribe($input_data) {

if (!wpphplist_check_curl()) {

echo 'CURL library not detected on system.  Need to compile php with cURL in order to use this plug-in';

return(0);

}

// $post_data = array();

foreach ($input_data as $varname => $varvalue) {

$post_data[$varname] = $varvalue;

}

// Ensure email is provided

$email = $post_data[$this->email_id];

//  $tmp = $_POST['lid'];

//  if ($tmp != '') {$lid = $tmp; }	//user may override default list ID

if ($email == '') {

echo('You must supply an email address');

return(0);

}

// 3) Login to phplist as admin and save cookie using CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE

// NOTE: Must log in as admin in order to bypass email confirmation

$url = $this->domain . "admin/";

$ch=curl_init();

if (curl_errno($ch)) {

print '<h3 style="color:red">Init Error: ' . curl_error($ch) .' Errno: '. curl_errno($ch) . "</h3>";

return(0);

}



$post_data='action=subscribe&group_ids[]'.$this->lid.'&email_address='.$this->email_id.'&firstname='.$this->name_id;

Is the $post_data line what I need? Something like this?:

function subscribe($input_data) {



// $post_data = array();

foreach ($input_data as $varname => $varvalue) {

$post_data[$varname] = $varvalue;

}



$email = $post_data[$this->email_id];

$name = $post_data[$this->name_id];

}

And then I could use $email and $name in my function to “do stuff” with?

Or can I use $post_data[$this->email_id] etc. directly? Is that the simple answer to my original question?

Why is the $post_data commented out?! Don’t I need it?

Do I need other pieces to make it work? For which fields would this work; only those from wp_users or xprofile as well? What about custom fields, including the real name/first name/last name mess?

Where exactly and when do you want your code to run?

Shorter version: In a plugin hooked to user_register or register_post – not sure which one.

Does anyone know how to intercept input from the registration form to “do stuff” with it?

Thanks for responding DJPaul!

I guess the hook would be this:

user_register

Runs when a user’s profile is first created. Action function argument: user ID.

Or maybe this?

register_post

Runs before a new user registration request is processed.

I have a wish list of things I need to do with input from the registration form:

1. synchronize fullname with wp_usermeta firstname + last name

2. autogenerate username/blogurl from fullname

3. add new user to the ListMessenger mailing list

They all require taking input from the registration form, processing the input and then storing the results in specific database tables. I’m trying to puzzle together one or more plugins to do that.

Anyone?

yes, but get_userdata() doesn’t return values like avatar and additional profile fields from registration. I found some functions in a core but I am not sure I should go that deep to get this info.

bp_core_get_userurl()

bp_core_get_avatar()

bp_core_get_userlink()

and finaly the best one:

xprofile_get_field_data()

My latest attempts were here, for a plugin for a related problem that will hopefully also lead to a solution for username/blogurl.

I have to decide first how I am going to put firstname + lastname into the database; split the fullname value out to wp_usermeta or turn fullname into firstname and add another xprofile field for lastname.

Again, I’m not really a php programmer. I’m trying to puzzle it together from code examples and googled bits and pieces. I’ll need all the help I can get!

I can’t figure out how the fullname moves from the registration form to the database; which pieces of code are involved and how to “intercept” it to “do stuff” with it. That’s where I’m stuck at the moment.

“user profile meta” is put “in a session ready to store”. Is that an “array”? Anyway, that’s higher level php to me. No clue how to extract the fullname value from that.

// put the user profile meta in a session ready to store.

for ( $i = 0; $i < count($bp_xprofile_callback); $i++ ) {

$bp_user_signup_meta['field_' . $bp_xprofile_callback[$i]['field_id']] .= $bp_xprofile_callback[$i]['value'];

}

Actually I was trying to save a type of member, its dropdownlist

I don’t believe we have any issues with sub domains in that respect. We’ve had users sign up to the site and create blogs at the same time, and the blogs and their sub-domains seem to be created and work just fine. We’ve also manually created blogs (not via buddypress but in WPMU) and those also work just fine.

Here are the plugins we have activated:

– WordPress Video Plugin

– Buddypress

– BPDEV Core

— BPDEV Flickr

— BPDEV YouTube

– Featured Member Widget

Yes, under Site Admin -> Options -> Allow New Registrations I have it set to “Only Logged In Users Can Create New Blogs”

New users are added as “Subscribers”.

But even the admin, when logged in, cannot create a new blog. The links go to /blogs/members/admin/blogs/create-a-blog but you don’t end up on that page…you go to your profile instead.

Is there another setting where you have to enable it?

That would be funny. Hilarious actually. ::he says in a deadpan voice::

The FB-Connect issue was successfully addressed by removing the $DIM variable from fbconnect.php. However, this no longer seems to be effective and the error message I’m receiving seems to be complaining that out of 5 variables in fbc_get_avatar(), one is missing ie;

Missing argument 5 for fbc_get_avatar()

There are 5 variables here and I’ve removed one. However, even if I replace it so that there are now “5”, I still get the same error.

Hey, thanks for all the great help!.

I’ve installed reCaptcha and it works good. Won’t reCaptcha interfere with Askimet though since they are both anti-spam plugins (just wondering)?.

I couldn’t find any place in the latest version of BBPress to disable new registrations. Where would I go to find this option?.

I’m still stumped on the FB-Connect error. I’m currently using version 1.1. Is there a newer version (or an easy-to-install patch available?.

Again, thanks so much, Steve
