  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.

  Yes, the country is based on the IP address.
