BuddyPress.org

Can I request that we move this discussion to my plugin homepage’s comments? It’s much easier to get notification everytime someone replies, and then other users of the plugin will be aware of it too

Still much nicer to have all the discussion live on the plugin page (which is linked to from the download page on wordpress and the admin panel, so it’s where users will go for support usually)

This looks really slick!

How does this work? Will users logging in with their Facebook login be added to the members database? Will Facebook logins be “mapped on” existing users or will it create double member registrations?

I’ll try on a test installation, but not sure how to test everything without creating test Facebook accounts etc…

EDIT:

Oops, should have read the plugin page:

# No user interaction is required – the login process is transparent to new and returning users alike.

# Existing WP users who connect with FB retain the same local user accounts as before.

# New visitors will be given new WP user accounts, which can be retained even if you remove the plugin.

This sounds too good to be true!

Yes Greg, lets do that. My testing site is here. The plugin will probably be added tonight. Anybody who wants to test logging in with their Facebook account is very welcome to until April 1st. The users database will eventually be deleted.

I have custom code that adds new members to a mailing list and synchronizes the real name to wp_usermeta etc. I’d probably have to add that code to the plugin somewhere, right? Or does the plugin feed the registration data back through the regular BP process as if it came from the signup form?

Hmm…yeah this seems to still not work. I don’t have a BP install to debug on, so I’ll leave this one up to Andy – now that there’s a BuddyPress.php file for bp-specific filters, it’ll be easy to stick in whatever filters are needed once someone figures it out

Thanks justin_k. The discussion mentions this function from “Andy”:

<?php

function bp_fbconnect_modify_userdata( $userdata, $userinfo ) {

$userdata = array(

'user_pass' => wp_generate_password(),

'user_login' => $fbusername,

'display_name' => fbc_get_displayname($userinfo),

'user_url' => fbc_make_public_url($userinfo),

'user_email' => $userinfo['proxied_email']

);



$fb_bp_user_login = strtolower( str_replace( ' ', '', fbc_get_displayname($userinfo) ) );



$counter = 1;

if ( username_exists( $fb_bp_user_login ) ) {

do {

$username = $fb_bp_user_login;

$counter++;

$username = $username . $counter;

} while ( username_exists( $username ) );



$userdata['user_login'] = $username;

} else {

$userdata['user_login'] = $fb_bp_user_login;

}



return $userdata;

}

add_filter( 'fbc_insert_user_userdata', 'bp_fbconnect_modify_userdata', 10, 2 );

?>

Where should I add this? Does this use ‘firstnamelastname’ as username and check for doubles? Does it synchronize and update all the fields in wp_users, wp_usermeta and xprofile?

Usernames like this, ‘community.net/members/fb_100000441950350’, are really not acceptable imho.

Where is the query that actually stores the new user data in the database? Is it in the plugin or does the plugin send data back to WP/BP files? I also need to that data stored in mailinglist tables.

@justin_k, I don’t really expect answers to anything. I often post to keep track of what I’m doing, hopefully in a way that will help others trying to do the same thing. I’ll try this tonight and post back.

I’ve just made some changes to the plugin that provides better BP support. Justin – the link to the code is on the blog post in the comments.

This fixes the username issue.

Used Andy’s version and it works great.
