Hey Leif,

I agree it’s in the bullet points and I can’t see it in the screenshots.

I haven’t worked on this project for over 3 years so I’ve forgotten but had a look in the code.

I found some code I wrote that I believe means there is a setting in the setting area. Probably added after I made the screenshots.

Reference for myself:

array(
                        "field_name" => "Redirect Location (External)",
                        "field_description" => "This is the location to navigate to outside of the site.<br>e.g. \"<b>https://wordpress.org/plugins/external-login/#reviews</b>\"",
                        "field_slug" => "external_login_option_redirection_location_external",
                        "type" => "text",
                        "required" => false,
                        "conditionals" => array(
                            "and",
                            array(
                                "condition_field" => "external_login_option_redirection_type",
                                "condition_field_value" => "external",
                                "condition_operator" => "="
                            ),
                        )
                    ),

I believe you’ll find this in the settings area when you install.

Looks like you get an option to either redirect within your wordpress site or to an external page.

Let me know if this solves your problem either way 🙂

I won’t be able to get an example up and running but based on your code snippet it would look like this…

function myExlogHashAuthenticator($password, $hashFromDatabase, $username, $externalUserData) {
    $generatedHash = upper(md5($password));
    return $hashFromDatabase == $generatedHash;
}
add_filter('exlog_hook_filter_authenticate_hash', 'myExlogHashAuthenticator', 10, 4);

If you can provide the code snippet of what your system does to hash and an example password in plain text and the hashed version of that password I could try and help you further when I get time. Would need those things though.

Hi Dom,

Unfortunately the plugin does not support Oracle.

However the code is open source if you were interested in doing the changes required to make it work.

If you are interested in this and have any questions let me know.

Thanks,

Tom 🙂

How does a user get created in WordPress? Are you expecting your WordPress site to have a sign up form and that they need to create a user with the same e-mail as is in your CRM?

Hi @wildlifeweb,

Yes this is possible with WordPress, but is obviously a very customised flow for your use case. The hooks in this plugin give a really good template of where you would want to write such logic. However, you will no doubt have to learn the development skills or hire a developer to carry out the work for you.

There are a lot of things you need to consider and answer:
– Do you need logged in users to access a members area? If so, I believe WordPress requires passwords, will you just create a fake one each time?
– Without any password validation anyone could use a member e-mail in the platform to gain access which seems problematic. They could access as any other user.
– Does their API support validating an e-mail address?
– Do you want some sort of gated screen where a user has to login with just an e-mail address?

These are just some initial considerations but based on these there would be a lot of other questions. I don’t have capacity to help you with this project but it sounds like you’re going to need a developer to support the development which would be my advice for next steps. If you have a budding developer and want to ask specific questions I’ll try my best to give occasional advice here when I can.

Good luck with the project 🙂

Hey @ccsimmons,

Didn’t realise I’d made it private.

Have another look and let me know if you have access 🙂

Tom

Glad you found what you were looking for @johnlauber 🙂

Let me know if you have any other issues 🙂

If everything is working for you I’d be grateful if you could write a review or even buy me a beer.

Thanks,

Tom
