Connect user after create account on front end, possible ?
Hi
I have a request from a client on connecting user to front end upon account creation, and i dont know is this doable on textpattern.
The work should be like this : Create account on front end (using mem_self_register ) upon completion connect the user to his account to let him see protected area on front end. (i have cbe_front_auth installed for connecting and managing private area)
Can someone give me advices on how to do that ?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Connect user after create account on front end, possible ?
So are you looking to effectively auto-log-in after account creation? That’s doable with a plugin and some mem_form hackery.
I have all that somewhere if that’s what you’re after. I could dig it out.

Just for anyone’s interest, to auto-login requires a bit of JavaScript.
Textpattern expects two fields to be present to log you in: p_userid and p_password. So in your login/registration form (cbe_frontauth, mem_self_register, …) you just add some script to copy the user-supplied username and password into two hidden fields called p_userid and p_password. Txp then sees those fields and can log them in straight away.
I can’t remember if it’s as straightforward as that. You might have to initiate a call to doAuth() or cURL() to example.com/textpattern, passing those two parameters in the POST payload via the thanks_form. It’s been a while since I’ve done it.

Hi
First test code (grabbed from cbe_front_ath) and tested on local wampserver (the login only):
<form method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="p_userid" value="test" />
<input type="hidden" name="p_password" value="test" />
<input type="submit" value="ok"/>
</form>
<txp:php>
global $txp_user ;
include_once( 'C:\wamp64\www\textpattern-4.7.3\textpattern\lib\txplib_admin.php' ) ;
$p_userid = gps('p_userid');
$p_password = gps('p_password');
if ($p_userid !== '')
{
$log_name = txp_validate( $p_userid, $p_password );
$hash = md5(uniqid(mt_rand(), TRUE));
$nonce = md5($p_userid.pack('H*',$hash));
$pub_path = preg_replace('|//$|','/', rhu.'/') ;
$p_stay='';
echo "USER :".$p_userid." | "."Logname : ".$log_name;
if ($log_name !== false)
{
safe_update( 'txp_users'
, "nonce = '".doSlash($nonce)."'"
, "name = '".doSlash($p_userid)."'"
) ;
setcookie( 'txp_login_public'
, substr(md5($nonce), -10).$p_userid
, ($p_stay ? time()+3600*24*30 : 0)
, $pub_path
) ;
}
}
</txp:php>Cheers.

Interesting. To save work, you may like to include_once txpath.'include/txp_auth.php'; and simply call doTxpValidate(). That should see the incoming POST vars and handle all the cookie setting and authentication handling for you.

Hi Stef
The new code using your advice.
<form method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="p_userid" value="test" />
<input type="hidden" name="p_password" value="test" />
<input type="submit" value="ok"/>
</form>
<txp:php>
global $txp_user ;
include_once( 'C:\wamp64\www\textpattern-4.7.3\textpattern\lib\txplib_admin.php' ) ;
include_once( 'C:\wamp64\www\textpattern-4.7.3\textpattern\include\txp_auth.php' ) ;
// echo txpath.'\lib\txplib_admin.php';
$p_userid = gps('p_userid');
$p_password = gps('p_password');
if ($p_userid !== '')
{
doTxpValidate();
}
</txp:php>Cheers.

Hi
I notice that to see the logged user you need to reload the page, did i miss something or textpattern is reloading the page twice ?
Cheers.

You should probably redirect to a back-end page (if appropriate) which you can always then bounce to the front-end, or (better, perhaps) refresh the current public page after you’ve called doTxpValidate() which will then do the ‘refresh’ for you.
