Sign in with present user login system?

  • Kreg Wallace ,

    I have a request about ‘ Sign/supporting ‘ a petition . If I create a Petition ‘K’ and if a user ‘X ‘ wanted to support it . he needs to do it entering his email and other details.

    Currently I am using FaceBook and Google OAuth method to accept registrations/ Logins from users using the social networks. So a user need not fill any forms. No other user without registration will not have any access to my blog.

    But if he /she wants to signup a petition your plugin asks to fill the form. Can’t I integrate the Petition form completely with my present user database, so the user ‘X’ need not fill the form for the petition ‘K’?

    In simple words…I want the users to singup the petition using the social networks for convenience . Is that possible? Are you planning to do it in future?

    Advantages :

      Users/visitors can easily sign the petition using the current user login system
      We can trace the petitions using my ‘users’ section .

      There is a chance to view all the petitions by different users on the website just like posts or pages . So if we click a user profile(WordPress shows the user posts with their profile)…all the petitions supported them will be displayed

      Any visitors can browse the current petitions and share them using the ‘facebook’ like option or the integrated ‘share’ option on the website/blog

    Thanks !

    Asshu,

    I agree that it would be great to have the petition form pre-filled with the contact info of users who are signed in. If this worked, could also skip the email confirmation step for signed-in users.

    However, I currently don’t really know anything about how OAuth works or how to plug into that system, so it might take me awhile to get up to speed enough to add this feature.

    Some of the other things you mentioned about showing all petitions a user has signed, etc. I might prefer not to add for privacy reasons and adding per-user opt out for this would add complexity. I’ll file this one away and think about it a bit more down the road.
