How can I get the country a user logs in from?

James_Pilgrim

In your 'User Explorer' there is data stating "Login from United Kingdom"
How can I save this country data into the users wordpress profile when they log in to my site?

Hello,

you can start with a hook like this:
http://docs.oneall.com/plugins/guide/social-login-wordpress/#3b

The data that you are looking for is in
$identity->loginLocation->country->short

Hi Claude,

The following code works when registering a new user, though I wonder is it possible to update the country field every time a user logs in?

        // 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

    $userid = $user_data->ID;
    $gender = $identity->gender;
    $birthday = $identity->birthday;
    // $locale = $identity->currentLocation;
    $logincountry = $identity->loginLocation->country->short;
    error_log(print_r($userid, true));
    error_log(print_r($gender, true));
    error_log(print_r($birthday, true));
    error_log(print_r($locale, true));
    error_log(print_r($logincountry, true));

  // Store the gender
     update_user_meta ($userid, 'wpcf-user-demographic-gender', $gender);
  // Store The Birthday
     update_user_meta ($userid, 'wpcf-user-demographic-birthday', $birthday);
  // Store The Country
     update_user_meta ($userid, 'wpcf-user-demographic-locale', $logincountry);
}

// 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, 2);

Hi James,

for this you can use the following action/hook:

oa_social_login_action_before_user_login

In the variable
$identity->loginLocation

you can also find other properties like for example the ip address or the full country name.

Great, that's looks like it's worked so I have just one more question...

If I understand correctly this country data is taken from the IP, which is outside of the social network being logged into?

I ask so that I know how to define our web privacy terms and app requests from facebook.

Claude_Schlesser

Yes, the country is based on the IP address.
