changing the way username gets registered to database

Dave_LB

I use phpBB 3.0 and I want to change the default behavior of registering usernames to the database.

I did a bit of research and found out it's the task of /includes/functions_oa_social_login.php and then especially this bit;

// Setup user details. $user_row = array ( 'group_id' => $group_id, 'user_type' => $user_type, 'user_actkey' => $user_actkey, 'user_password' => phpbb_hash ($new_password), 'user_ip' => $user->ip, 'user_inactive_reason' => $user_inactive_reason, 'user_inactive_time' => $user_inactive_time, 'user_lastvisit' => time (), 'user_lang' => $user_row ['user_lang'], 'username' => $user_data ['user_login'], 'user_email' => $user_data ['user_email'], 'user_from' => $user_data ['user_location'], 'user_interests' => implode (', ', $user_data ['user_interests_simple']), 'user_website' => $user_data ['user_website'] ); // Register user.

If I look what $user_data ['user_login'] is being made out of then I find this;

// Username is mandatory. if (! isset ($user_data ['user_login']) || strlen (trim ($user_data ['user_login'])) == 0) { $user_data ['user_login'] = $user_data ['identity_provider'] . 'User'; } // Username must be unique. if (oa_social_login::get_user_id_by_username ($user_data ['user_login']) !== false) { $i = 1; $user_login_tmp = $user_data ['user_login'] . ($i); while (oa_social_login::get_user_id_by_username ($user_login_tmp) !== false) { $user_login_tmp = $user_data ['user_login'] . ($i++); } $user_data ['user_login'] = $user_login_tmp;

Which I don't understand.. $user_data ['identity_provider'] . 'User' does this correspond in any way with the API? If so where can I find this info. It doesn't look like I can find it here; https://docs.oneall.com/api/basic/identity-structure/ because I cannot find any key named identity_provider.User ?

The goal is a more anonymous username registration like only the use of the first name added with a random three digit number instead of the first name.last name what it is doing now.

Hi Dave,

thank you for the update.

If somebody else is looking for the code, here a link to the section:
https://github.com/oneall/social-login-phpbb/blob/06b46c7dc1e7b40d924a63a5a0c345f21c90c191/[ >= 3.1. ] EXTENSION/oneall/sociallogin/acp/sociallogin_acp_module.php#L1528

Funny... As soon as I start to form my question to the internet I find the answer myself.



public static function extract_social_network_profile ($social_data)

At the
// Preferred Username.
section to be exact.

If someone else wants to know.

OK, thanks.. Have a nice day!
