Network site, add users to all sites using the their same role WordPress

Josh Cranwell comments:

Hello, I just tried this plugin.

And now all my users are on my latest added site using with the same role.

I have over 6 different users roles assigned my user list. But on the latest added site - they are now all using the same role.

I need it so the user roles stay the same as the previous sites. Not to change to a default role.

Would combining http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-user-management/ and http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/ work for you?

So you use multisite user management plugin so they are copied then user user role editor to change the roles.

Thanks,
idt

Hello

I dont need to change the roles. I am happy with the current roles.

Also I my custom role types exist across my entire network/sites.

All I simply wish for all existing users to be active on newly added multi sites with their existing user role on blog #1.

Please see this screenshot, this what my current multisite looks like... [[LINK href="http://i.imgur.com/aEeDGVt.png"]]http://i.imgur.com/aEeDGVt.png[[/LINK]]

And this is how I want it to look when I add new sites... [[LINK href="http://i.imgur.com/SsSgHFx.png"]]http://i.imgur.com/SsSgHFx.png[[/LINK]]

Currently I'm having to do this manually using sql queries. I would like it to happened automatically every time I add a new site. And if I update someones user role on blog #1, for it to then change for them on every site.

Thanks

Hi Josh,

Can you please try adding this to your theme's functions.php?

add_action('wp','add_current_user_to_blog',10);

/*add logged in user to current blog*/
function add_current_user_to_blog(){
if(!is_user_logged_in())
return false;

global $current_user,$blog_id;

$userRole = ($current_user->data->wp_capabilities);
$role = key($userRole);

if(!is_blog_user())//check for current membership
add_user_to_blog($blog_id, $role) //copy to current blog so roles work
}


What is does is when a logged in user visits a blog on your network, it checks whether he/she is a member of the current blog or not. If not, it adds them as a member to the current blog.

I used that before using http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-user-management/.

Hello, this seems to work in your want to set a default role.

It's not ideal but kind of works - but the problem is you can get the current user role because he is not a user on the site yet.

I tested this...


add_action('wp','add_current_user_to_blog',10);
function add_current_user_to_blog(){

if(!is_user_logged_in())
return false;

global $current_user,
$blog_id;

$user_Role = ($current_user->data->wp_capabilities);
$add_Role = key($user_Role);

if (!is_blog_user()) //check for current membership
add_user_to_blog($blog_id, $current_user->ID, 'press'); //copy to current blog so roles work

}


And it works.

I tried your code and it didnt work. I tried printing $current_user->data->wp_capabilities on the site when logged in with a where the user does not exist, and also on a site where the user does exist. Both times returned nothing.

I can use this to get the user role of the current site... $current_user->role[0]

But this is not use to be cause the user I am trying to add is not user on the site yet, and therefor there is no $current_user info to get.

So this idea is flawed unfortunately, unless u can get the role from blog #1 for the current_user.

I need something like a plugin to scan all users in blog #1 and assign add activate them on all blogs and new blogs using their same role. But I need it automatically happen when I add new users too.

What happens if you add switch_to_blog() so we can get the user role from the main blog. So it becomes:

add_action('wp','add_current_user_to_blog',10);

function add_current_user_to_blog(){



if(!is_user_logged_in())

return false;



global $current_user,

$blog_id;


switch_to_blog(1); //get role from main blog
$user_Role = ($current_user->data->wp_capabilities);
$add_Role = key($user_Role);
restore_current_blog();


if (!is_blog_user()) //check for current membership

add_user_to_blog($blog_id, $current_user->ID, '$add_Role); //copy to current blog so roles work



}

Oops sorry, typo on the code above. Please try this instead:

add_action('wp','add_current_user_to_blog',10);

function add_current_user_to_blog(){

if(!is_user_logged_in())
return false;

global $current_user, $blog_id;

switch_to_blog(1); //get role from main blog
$user_Role = ($current_user->data->wp_capabilities);
$add_Role = key($user_Role);
restore_current_blog();
if (!is_blog_user()) //check for current membership
add_user_to_blog($blog_id, $current_user->ID, $add_Role); //copy to current blog so roles work
}

Hello, thanks for you help.

This was my final code...


// AUTO ADD USERS
add_action('wp','add_current_user_to_blog',10);
function add_current_user_to_blog(){

if(!is_user_logged_in())
return false;

global $current_user,
$blog_id;

switch_to_blog(1); //get role from main blog
$get_role = ($current_user->h0ndamcpr13_capabilities);
$add_role = key($get_role);
restore_current_blog();

if (!is_blog_user()) //check for current membership
add_user_to_blog($blog_id, $current_user->ID, $add_role); //copy to current blog so roles work

}


Seemed to do the trick :-)

I will message you if I have any problems but have tested it and it works good.

Many Thanks
Josh
