Hey @ejbrewer,
It doesn’t at the moment but this is possible.
There’s two ways this could be handled and I’m not sure which one is the best approach.
1) Integrate in the admin area
I could have a section where you could choose additional data that you want to fetch from the users table.
I could then just store this as meta data for the user in the WP database where the phone_number field would become exlog_phone_number.
2) I get the entire user row when I query to authenticate the user. I could add this information to the exlog_hook_action_authenticated hook that exists and you could handle storing the data you require yourself.
Option one will take weeks to implement (just because it’s a bigger job that’ll require me to book out some time to do) and option two could be completed this week.
What are your thoughts?
Tom
Hey Tom,
I would go for a medium complex solution where you could allow for up to 10 custom fields in the plugin admin area. Just a simple 1 to 1 mapping. They are all blank to start with, but if filled in then allow remote columns to be mapped to WP custom meta.
A few months ago I had to pull in remote address details to the local WP profile so I just hacked your plugin and hard coded it. Works really well! Thanks!
Really glad it’s working well for you and well done on the hack! 🙂
I’ll leave this open as I will still try and get this feature added at some point 🙂
Any chance you might share the hack please, need to do exactly that..? @rperrett
@philengel Send me your email address and I’ll email it to you. I don’t believe PM is supported on this site?
Appreciate it, thanks. [email protected]
@rperrett could you share me with me too? my email is [email protected]
Thanks!
Hey @rperrett,
Be careful with asking for people’s personal details. I know the moderators sometimes close peoples accounts for it.
However, really appreciate how helpful you’re being to the others 🙂
Thanks!
Tom 🙂
I already made my change and it worked too. Thanks for the tips and the great plugin! 🙂
