How do I get User ID

[omarghalib]

Hi, I'm trying to get the user id of logged-in firebase user and save it to a php variable, how can I do that?

[dalenguyen]

Hi @omarghalib , do you know which version of the plugin are you using?

[omarghalib]

Hi @dalenguyen , I'm using version 3.8.0

[dalenguyen]

Hi @omarghalib, if you are using that version. The firebase uid can be retrieved using this.

get_user_meta($user_id, 'firebase_uid', true);

Thank you @dalenguyen , but I tried it like this: $user_id_txt = get_user_meta($user_id, 'firebase_uid', true); echo $user_id_txt; echo $user_id; and it's not echoing anything

Hi @omarghalib, can you send a snapshot of how the user looks like in the WordPress dashboard?

Did the user log in via the plugin authentication shortcode?

Hi @dalenguyen , I'm showing firebase login UI using: echo do_shortcode("[firebaseui_web redirect='/shop/account' ][/firebaseui_web]"); echo do_shortcode("[firebase_logout redirect='/shop/account' button_text='Sign Out'][/firebase_logout]"); And logging in but then I can't get the uid, I can echo it though, using: echo '<input type="text" name="userID" value="will-be-generated" class="getFirebaseUid">'; But I need to save it to variable

Thank you @dalenguyen , but I tried it like this: $user_id_txt = get_user_meta($user_id, 'firebase_uid', true); echo $user_id_txt; echo $user_id; and it's not echoing anything

Which $user_id that you used for testing? Does it show the number of the user?

Can you send me a picture of the user in the WordPress dashboard after they sign in?

Hi @dalenguyen I'm not using wordpress authentication in this, The user id I get with this: echo '<input type="text" name="userID" value="will-be-generated" class="getFirebaseUid">'; is the firebase's user that's logged-in . I need to save that id into a variable

So, in this case, you can try this custom script.

    const waitForFirebase = setInterval(() => {
      if (typeof firebase !== 'undefined' && firebase.apps.length) {
        firebase.auth().onAuthStateChanged(async (user) => {
          // trigger functions after user is logged in
          if (user) {
            // User logged in already or has just logged in.
            console.log(user.uid)
          }
        })
        clearInterval(waitForFirebase)
      }
    }, 1000)
