Authenticate users with Cognito using WordPress Custom Login Code

1. Login Functionality

Fetch the entered email/username and password, sanitize and escape them, and then pass them as arguments to our function. mo_ci_custom_login_form()

Function Definition:

Code Snippet:

<?php
    // Your Code
    // Fetch the input values after the form is submitted
    // Code to sanitize the input values

    $return_user = false; // you want the user login session created by the miniOrange plugin and further handling

    $result = mo_ci_custom_login_form($username, $password, $return_user);

    if(!empty($result)){
        // Your custom code for displaying the error messages
    }
  ?>

2. Registration Flow

Fetch the information entered in the registration form, sanitize and escape the information, and store the sanitized and escaped information in an array following the specified format:

$user_data = array(
    "user_pass" => $password_entered,
    "user_login" => $username_entered,
    "user_email" => $email,
    "display_name" => $display_name, // you can pass username or email as well
    "nickname" => $nickname, // you can pass username or email as well
    "first_name" => $firstname,
    "last_name" => $lastname,
    "user_registered" => $registered_date,
    "role" => $wp_role,
    "meta_input" => $meta_data,
  )
  

Any other extra information other than the basic WP user profile attributes would be inside $meta_data. It would be an associative array with the array key as the WordPress meta key and value as the entered value. Below is the format for $meta_data

$meta_data = array(
    "<- your-wp_meta_key_for_city_name ->" => $city_name,
    "<- your-wp_meta_key_for_acc_no ->" => $account_number,
    // ...
  );
  

Pass the complete $user_data array as an argument to the function mo_ci_custom_registeration_form()

Function Definition:

function mo_ci_custom_registeration_form ($user_data, $return_user=false){
    return $result;
  }
  

Code Snippet:

<?php
    // Your Code
    // Fetch the input values after the form is submitted
    // Code to sanitize the input values

    $return_user = false; // you want the user login session created by the miniOrange plugin and further handling

    $result = mo_ci_custom_registeration_form($user_data, $return_user);

    if(!empty($result)){
        // Your custom code for displaying the error messages
    }
  ?>
