Custom Function When Add User WordPress

Luis Abarca comments:

Here is an example


add_action('user_register', 'add_custom_register_actions');

function add_custom_register_actions($user_id)
{
// get the user
$user_info = get_userdata( $user_id );

$username = esc_sql( $user_info->user_login );

// create a category with username
wp_create_category( $username );

// create page with username and theme?
$my_page = array(
'post_title' => $username,
'post_content' => '[list category=$username]',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => 1, // this should be $user_id ??
//'page_template' => 'portal.php',
);

// Insert the post into the database
wp_insert_post( $my_page );
}

Hai bui add the custom template code


//set the page template
update_post_meta($pid,'_wp_page_template','portal.php');


And robin gupta the page post type in the array
'post_type' => 'page'

So, this can works


add_action('user_register', 'add_custom_register_actions');

function add_custom_register_actions($user_id)
{
// get the user
$user_info = get_userdata( $user_id );

// user name
$username = $user_info->user_login;

// create a category with username
wp_create_category( $username );

// create page with username and theme?
$my_page = array(
<strong>'post_type' => 'page',</strong>
'post_title' => $username, <strong>// this could be changed to $user_info->display_name or nickname</strong>
'post_content' => '[list category=$username]',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => $user_id // the new user should be the author
);

// Insert the post into the database
$post_id = wp_insert_post( $my_page );

// assign the custom template
<strong>update_post_meta($post_id, '_wp_page_template' , 'portal.php');</strong>
}

It worked great, so excited about my(our) first function.

Lets decide the winner of this one. =)
Wondering another function to remove category, page and user when deleting a user.

Luis Abarca comments:

I think that the second question (delete user content) is for another question :D

I'm reading what Jhon said, i think you can use the author page for show the user content and also add a custom template for authors.

Or there's an special goal for using your own method ?

list more posts private only for one user

Wondering another function to remove category, page and user when deleting a user for complete functionality

add_action('user_??','my_function2');

function my_function2($user_id){
wp_delete_user( $id, $reassign );
wp_delete_category( $cat_ID );
wp_delete_post( $ID );

}

Arnav Joy comments:

for deletion of category and page i think you should modify your code for the addition of user

try this:--

// get the id of category in variable

$catID = wp_create_category( $username );

$my_page = array(

'post_title' => '$username',

'post_content' => '[list category=$username]',

'post_status' => 'publish',

//use post type parameter

'post_type' => 'page'

'post_author' => 1,

);


update_post_meta($newPageID, "_wp_page_template", "new_template.php");

// now update the meta table of user to hold the information for this user in terms of category id and page id

update_user_meta($user_id, "_wp_page_id", $newPageID);
update_user_meta($user_id, "_wp_cat_id", $catID);

//now for deletion

add_action('delete_user','my_function2');



function my_function2($user_id){

$catID = get_user_meta($user_id, '_wp_cat_id');
$pageID = get_user_meta($user_id, '_wp_page_id');

wp_delete_user( $id, $reassign );


wp_delete_category( $catID);

wp_delete_post( $pageID);



}


try this code i think it will help full for you.

Thanks
Robin

With your function delete user and category works, but not delete page and generate a 500 error after.
With my modified function delete user and category works, no error but dont delete the page too.

$newPageID = wp_insert_post( $my_page );

update_post_meta($newPageID, "_wp_page_template", "cliente-portal.php");
update_user_meta($user_id, "_wp_page_id", $newPageID);

}


add_action( 'delete_user', 'wpq_delete_user_stuff', 15 );

function wpq_delete_user_stuff( $user_id ) {

// vars

$tax = 'category';
$user_info = get_userdata( $user_id );
$username = $user_info->user_login;



// check if term with that slug exists
if ( $user_term = get_term_by( 'slug', $username, $tax ) ) {

// delete the term associated with that user
wp_delete_term( $user_term->term_id, $tax );


}

// check for page
//if ( $user_page = get_page_by_path( $username ) ) {

// delete the associated page bypassing the Trash (change the second parameter to false to use the trash)
//wp_delete_post( $user_page->ID, true );
wp_delete_post( $pageID);


//}

}

Arnav Joy comments:

Try to use this code , it will make the page in trash

use following function in place of:-

//wp_delete_post( $pageID);


wp_update_post(array('ID'=>$pageID , 'post_status' => 'trash' , 'post_type' =>'page'));

Hello Ivaylo Draganov,

It worked great for depelting categorie, but not for page, maybe and issue that are subpages?

Yes, get_page_by_path() expects the path to the page as an argument. So if your user pages are not top level, then you need to prepend the path:

get_page_by_path( 'path/to/page/' . $username )


John Cotton and Cliff P are pointing you to something that you might've not known: <strong>each user by default gets his own page</strong>. Usually it's located at <em>http://yoursite.com/author/username</em> and it's generated by the template <em>author.php</em>. By default that template lists all the posts from the user, but it's possible to do just about anything with user by editing the template. And by modifying WP's rewrite rules it's possible to change the path to that auto-generated page - for example <em>http://yoursite.com/users/username</em>.

Kind of a CMS of wp, a simple cliente area, but not only for one page, that's why categories. I will take som etime to learn about slug and how this can solve some problems.

John Cotton comments:

<blockquote>Kind of a CMS of wp, a simple cliente area,</blockquote>

Sure - I've done that myself many times.

But you shouldn't need to create a page......you should just grab the url via a rewrite and have a custom template that does the work.

basequatro comments:

but i needed to be more than one page. maybe in next project i will look at this.

Anybody know another solution, WPMUdev could handle this too?

Clifford P comments:

How many pages do you want? What for? Understanding that might help advise. Are you a WPMU DEV member?
