Developer Notes

Since 1.1.1, you can make use of 'hybridauth:authenticate', $provider plugin hook to perform some actions, when the user is authenticated with a provider. This might be a good place to post stuff to user's wall or to grab a profile picture.

Example of how to post to the user's wall that the user Joined the site:


// do stuff when the user is authenticated with one of the providers
elgg_register_plugin_hook_handler('hybridauth:authenticate', 'all', 'elgg_hybridauth_on_authenticate');

function elgg_hybridauth_on_authenticate($hook, $provider, $return, $params) {

    $user = elgg_extract('entity', $params);

    try {
        $ha = new ElggHybridAuth();
        $adapter = $ha->getAdapter($provider);
        if ($adapter->isUserConnected()) {
            $status = $user->name . ' just joined ' . elgg_get_config('sitename') . ' at ' . elgg_get_site_url();
            $adapter->setUserStatus($status);
        }
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        // Something is wrong
    }
}
