Get user token to call API

I found your question while looking at the same thing. The documentation at their site is quite good but doesnt offer much help re the wordpress plugin. So, I didnt want to go over the plugin code and find the spot where they return the token. I just hooked a function to wordpress INIT event and check for the referer. If you watch your connections, the api calls the callback url with a referer field, and it includes the connection_token in it. Something like:

$referer = $_SERVER[“HTTP_REFERER”];
add_user_meta( $id, ‘referer’, $referer, false );
if( stripos( $referer,’askittv.api.oneall.com/socialize/redirect.html’ ) !== false ){
if( ( $query_start = stripos( $referer, ‘?provider_connection_token=’ )) !== false ){
$token = substr($referer, $query_start + strlen(‘?provider_connection_token=’));
add_user_meta( $id, ‘connection_token’, $token, false );
}
}

As you see, im storing the token with the metadata of my user.
Should work until something better comes up.

A much better solution below:

If you dont mind editing the plugin, go to communication.php file and around line 845 paste:

update_user_meta ($user_id, 'oa_social_login_latest_connection_token', $connection_token);

Basically, that function checks for a logged in/new user registration and stores data associated with it (if its from FB: profile picture, name, email, etc). For some reason it doesnt store the connection_token.. so I added code for it.

Hope that helps someone

Cheers!

Thanks Juan, Gonna try it both ways, but probably the firstone is better for future plugin updates.

Gracias y Saludos!

Hi Juan, I do not see a communication.php in WSL where is it located?Thanks

Hi Mel,

communication.php is located in includes/ folder. Full path: /wp-content/plugins/oa-social-login/communication.php

What are you trying to do? I thought I needed the connection token to retrieve data from facebook, but apparently the plugin stores it somewhere (a cookie maybe) so I didnt hack it in the end.
