Possibility of integrating WordPress registration

  • Hi,

    What a great plugin! Works great, everything configured just like
    the instructions.

    My question is, how much trouble would it be to take it one step further and add the new participant as a new user to our WordPress
    site? We would like to use it as a membership plugin.

    One of the reasons we like this plugin so much is the fact that
    you can sort on any of the database fields. We have tried most of the plugins available, even membership plugins, but we haven’t been able to find one that can sort like this application.

    Thanks,

    Yes, it’s possible, but you’ll need to be pretty comfortable with creating a Javascript AJAX script. Basically, the idea is you interrupt the normal submit on a signup form and AJAX your user data in to WP to create the user. Grab the user ID that comes back, add it to the data you’re saving to the plugin (you have to define a hidden field for this purpose) then proceed with the submission as usual.

    I suggest you add a “username” and “password” field to your signup form so that those values can be used to create the WP user, but you don’t have to.

    I’ve written an article on integrating the two (doesn’t discuss the Javascript–you’ll be on your own for that): Using Participants Database with WordPress Users
