Are there any hooks that can be called from other (3rd party) plugins that will add a user to SPF?

 

Specifically, if a user buys a product from my site, I'd like to automatically give them a user/pass/permissions/group that they can login to SPF for support & updates… 

 

Is this possible?

 

Thanks

 

Matt

Creating new users, whether through the UI or as an automated task, is the purview of WP not SPF. So if you can find a plugin that creates a WP user then you will have your forum member as well – although the plugin will need to call the standard WP routines so that the correct actions are triggered.

andy is correct that its much simpler to just let wp do it for you…  hopefully, your plugin is creating members in the standard wp 'way'…   if not (why not?), you could try calling our function sf_create_member_data($userid) when the member is created…

Excellent! thanks… looks like the plugin I'm using has an option to explicitly use the WP user tables… 

 

But I still have a question…. 

 

How do I assign a WP user into a specific SPF group with proper forum permissions?

 

I thought I saw somewhere in this forum a method that would take a userid and group to add the WP user into the right group, but I can't find it now… would that be what I'm looking for?

 

Thanks

you can either do it manually on the forum – user groups – manage user groups panel… can move any user into any group… permissions consist of assigning a user group and permission set to a forum… suggest you read our wiki (link in footer) getting started section of intro on these concepts…

by default, users are auto entered into the user group you have specified on the forum – options – members settings panel… on that panel too, you can also auto assign them to user groups based on their wp role…

Sorry Mr. Papa, 

 

I meant *automatically* and not manually (through a 3rd party plugin)

 

I think you led me to the answer though…. use a role manager (investigating Role Scoper, since Role Manager is reported to be broken in newer releases) and let the assigned role from WP be mapped to a SPF Group automatically.

 

Thanks for swift replies, excellent plugin and patience….
