modifications updating wrong users

  • Using CIMY to add and update users to WP sites.

    I am using a subscription ID as the username for new imports (and modifications). This was at the request of the client.

    Let’s use the example that we are adding a new user with username “750”.

    What I am finding is that sometimes (have not determined if it is everytime) if the USERID matches the numeric USERNAME, the cimy import actually updates the the record instead of adding a new record. So in my example the user with USERID 750 would be updated in applicable fields with “USERNAME 750” data…..and USERNAME 750 is never added to the Wp user database.

    Is this a know issue?

  • The problem occurs due to using a username that converts to a numeric. (ie usernames like ‘4465’). If a user with a username of 4465 doesnt exist but a user with ID of 4465 does exists, WP_User returns the user with that ID instead.

    To fix this, I modified the cimy_user_manager.php On line 592 need to call WP_user with a zero as the $id parameter.

    In other words, change:
    $wp_user = new WP_User($username);

    to:
    $wp_user = new WP_User(0,$username);

    specifically sending the username to WP_User() in the $name parameter.
