changing the way username gets registered to database

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.

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!
