League

OK. Point 1 is solved.
The problem occurs when using the widgets. It works ok with shortcodes.

But still no solution for Point 2…

1. Hmm, this should also work with widgets. I guess you just found a bug ?? I will investigate it and fix it in the next release.
2. This is not something that is supported out of the box. The plugin was build with the idea of admin approval for league registration. But you can change this behavior if you would like; the registration has an action hook (footballpool_new_user) that you can hook into. See example below.

// don't use admin approval for league registration of new users
// just put them in the league they chose
add_filter( 'footballpool_new_user', function( $user_id, $league_id ) {
	Football_Pool::update_user_custom_tables( $user_id, $league_id );
}, null, 2 );

You can add this code to the functions.php file of your theme. Or place it anywhere else where you want to add your own PHP code. Beware, if you add it to files that can change in an update (e.g. the football pool plugin itself), your change will be overwritten on updating that part.

p.s. For the above code to work in plugin v2.3.8 you have to change the visibility for function update_user_custom_tables to public. I changed it in v2.4.0 which I am developing at the moment, but in v2.3.8 it is private.

About the widgets: Maybe it’s just some conflict with my theme. Shortcodes are working perfectly well!

About the hook:
This still does not work for me…
User gets assigned to no league if the default league is left empty in the backend settings and to the default league if set.
I placed the code into functions.php and also tried directly in the theme.php.

Just to be sure I understood what you meant with the update_user_custom_tables:

In “class-football-pool.php” on line 446 I changed
private function update_user_custom_tables( $user_id, $league_id ) {
into
public function update_user_custom_tables( $user_id, $league_id ) {

Is that correct?

Yes, you did everything correct.

I tried it myself yesterday in functions.php and it worked fine. For some reason the hook isn’t firing, or at the wrong time, or with the wrong values. Which makes it a bit hard to say what is going wrong. I’ll try to come up with some debug code that you can try in your install. Maybe the debug info will shed some light on the problem.

Just to make sure: are you using v2.3.8 of the plugin?

Yes it’s v2.3.8
Could it be related to my double-opt-in registration?
Not firing before registration is confirmed and not able to fire when clicking on the confirmation link?

Could be related to the double opt-in. What plugin or settings are you using for the double opt-in?

I am using the option in Cimy called “E-mail confirmation”.
And yes, when disabling this option everything just works fine ??
Do you think there is anything I can do?
Would another plugin for e-mail confirmation act the same way?

Hard to say if every plugin will act the same way ?? Depends on how they alter the behavior of WordPress.

I will install the Cimy plugin and try to figure out how they hook into WordPress. If their code is somewhat understandable for me, maybe I can give you some instructions on how to add the change with support for Cimy.

What is the exact name of the plugin? If I search for “Cimy” there are 4 plugins.

You are incredible ??
This is the plugin: Cimy User Extra Fields
Let me try another one before you make yourself so much work!

No success. The few plugins I found do not seem to be compatible with my global registration (registration page blank), so I could not even try if they act different in terms of firing hooks…

I had a quick look at the plugin. What the plugin does (in short) when using the email confirmation:

registration
1. hook into the ‘user_register’ event
2. read data from registration and save it in a temporary table
3. remove new user from wp_users table
activation
4. upon activation read data from temp table and create new user

The problem is that I also hook into the user_register event, read the newly created user id and save the league for that user. But after cimy is done (1-3), the user id no longer exists. And on activation (4) a new user id is generated.

This makes the cimy plugin incompatible with mine. And, in fact, makes the approach cimy is using incompatible with every other plugin that relies on the user id after a registration.

Thanks for looking!
Activated a simple alert after registration, that e-mail has to get checked (with plugin TML) That should do it and everything works fine ??

I need to have a customisation for the game, which I will pay you for, of course, if you want to do it.
Can I send you a private message or should I explain right here?
