Social Login conditional logic

  • Hello,

    Thanks for the great plugin! I was hoping it would be possible to get conditional logic added to the social login which would assign a user to a role based on either the email address domain returned by a social network or the social network that a user registers with (or if registered user connects a social network to their account). Here are a few possible examples.

    1. Based on social network would be: an admin can create a conditional logic that says if the user registers or connects with a FB account then add user to role A; the admin can then create a second logic that says if a user registers or connects their Google account then add user to role B.

    2. Based on email domain would be if the email address returned is an email address ending in xyz.com then assign role C; this is also very useful for the Google accounts where Google Apps accounts are domain specific.

    3. Last example would be if an admin sets up both logical conditions above and a user connects with a FB and both conditions (FB account and email returned as xyz.com) are met then user is added to roles A and C.

    I understand conditional logic may be complicated to implement, but it would be a great feature for automating user management and I haven’t seen any other social login plugins that offer this feature.

    Thank you

    Hi,

    Thanks for the suggestion. But as this is a quite advanced feature, it might take time to get included in the plugin.

    Hi,

    Yes, I figured this would take some time based on the complexity; but thanks for taking it under consideration.

    I do have 2 other suggestions that would be great to see added (these shouldn’t be as complex), would you prefer I just add them to this thread or create a new thread for each?

    You can post those to this thread.

    1. Provide a shortcode that we can add to any page allowing the same functionality that is on the users My Profile page. This way we can add the shortcode to pages and allow users see what they currently have connected, other social networks available, and to link/unlink their social networks without going to My Profile.

    2. Add column to Users (within Admin Dashboard) called Social Login. Show the icons of social login that the user is connected to. This would allow admins to see who is using social login and which ones are being used.

    Thanks!

    Please disregard the shortcode request, I found it (not sure how I missed that). But #2 would be great.

    Okay, we will try to include these in the plugin ASAP.

    Hi, and thanks for this wonderful plugin!

    Following up on the topic of conditional logic…want to know if it is already, or would be possible, to allow social login ONLY for specific user roles?

    I.e.: 1) admin can restrict social login to contributor role and higher, or 2) select which users individual roles have access to social login, or 3) could even exclude access by user role.

    I’m not a good coder yet, but if you can at least point me in the right direction with some pointers, I can figure it out.

    Saludos!

    Hi,

    Thanks for the appreciation ??

    Following up on the topic of conditional logic…want to know if it is already, or would be possible, to allow social login ONLY for specific user roles?

    Yes, it is possible. Place following code in functions.php file of your current theme/child theme:

    function heateor_ss_disable_social_login( $user, $user_login, $password ) {
	// if Social Login user
	if ( get_user_meta( $user->ID, 'thechamp_social_id', true ) ) {
		// if ( YOUR_CONDITION ) {
			return null;
		// }
	}
	return $user;
}
add_filter( 'authenticate', 'heateor_ss_disable_social_login', 10, 3 );

    You can put your desired condition in above code and return null for the user that you do not want to be logged in.

    So appreciate that snippet…now, if my ‘CONDITION’ is user role=subscriber, how exactly would that be written in this example?

		if ( $user->role == 'subscriber' ) {
			return null;
		}
	}
	return $user;
}
add_filter( 'authenticate', 'heateor_ss_disable_social_login', 10, 3 );
