BuddyPress.org

I’m adding users based on signup to my own application.

For instance a new users signs up to my site, I then use curl posts to add them to additional pieces of software such as our support desk, mailing list, and in this case community.

$fields_string = “”;
$url = ‘http://community.mysite.com/no-idea-what-url-to-post-to.php’;
$fields = array (‘signup_username’ => urlencode($username), ‘signup_email’ => urlencode($email), ‘signup_password’ => urlencode($password), ‘signup_password_confirm’ => urlencode($password), ‘field_1’ => urlencode($username), ‘signup_profile_field_ids’ => urlencode(1));
foreach($fields as $key => $value) {
$fields_string .= $key.’=’.$value.’&’;
}
rtrim ($fields_string, ‘&’);
$ch = curl_init ();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, count ($fields));
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields_string);
$results = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

If there’s a better way, please advise, everything is on the same server so I can include specific files to do a more API style function, just can’t seem to find any reference material that tells me what I need to know.

I found a post on WordPress.org on using the

wp_create_user ($username, $password, $email)

function, but I can’t seem to find a way to implement it for an outside application.

There really needs to be an external API.

Anyway, appreciate the help

Yeah no love on that solution either.

This is ridiculous.

Where in the world to the registration form post to in BP?

V

Yeah it would other than the fact that I can’t call those function from an external application.

And including files from the wp installation doesn’t seem to work either.

It seems that you’d be able to simply include the wp-header file:

require_once (dirname (dirname (__FILE__)) . “/community/wp-blog-header.php”);

and be able to access all the functions within the system, but apparently I’m missing something, because I keep getting invalid function errors.

This is why I’m trying to use curl to simply post the few fields needed to sign people up.

Pretty frustrating so far.

Thanks

V

Yes, the file path is correct.

My application is in:

/home/mysite/public_html/

WP is in:

/home/mysite/community/

So yes this file path is correct.

V

No, I set up subdomains in their own root folder parallel with the public_html folder.

I’ll check that out, thanks Ray.

This is where it dies:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::set_prefix() in /home/netics/community/wp-settings.php on line 287

Which is:

$prefix = $wpdb->set_prefix($table_prefix);

V

Yeah I discovered that I needed to move the include outside of my class and now I’ve gotten rid of that error.

But now we can’t find the individual functions.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_create_user() in /home/netics/public_html/test.php on line 33

Cool thanks for the links Ray.
