Don't see an email address when I bring back the "emails" identity from FaceBook

Brian_Dollin

Hello
I see an array in the field when I try to bring back the emails identity
It looks like this : a:1:{i:0;O:8:
Can some help?
Thanks

Hi,
The emails attribute is an array of email objects, it gets serialized (serialize()) by WP (update_user_meta()) when stored in the database.
So, what you are reporting looks in fact correct, if you looking at the table directly.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
Nevertheless, you can still access the email. You just need to deserialize it.

Regards.

Hi,
The logs show that the last Facebook profiles you requested had a valid email address.
The message you show look like some data format problem.

What's the code you use to access the emails list? (or a brief description of your environment if you don't want to post code)

Regards

Thanks for your feedback Frederic
I used this function call:

//Handle data retrieved from a social network profile
function oa_social_login_store_extended_data ($user_data, $identity)
{
// $user_data is an object that represents the newly added user
// The format is similar to the data returned by $user_data = get_userdata ($user_id);

// $identity is an object that contains the full social network profile

//Example to store the gender
update_user_meta ($user_data->id, 'paypal_email', $identity->emails);
}

//This action is called whenever Social Login adds a new user
add_action ('oa_social_login_action_after_user_insert', 'oa_social_login_store_extended_data', 10,

The user_meta field type is Varchar(255)
My intent is to eventually capture the user's email address from PaypPal only because I am using it in a delayed payment procedure

Thanks for your help
