Provide additional options for Accounts.onCreateUser

[ghost]

Hi, I guess the title is self explained. So how can I pass some additional options values, which I then can validate on the server side. In my case, I need a affiliate userId which "gave" the link to this new user, so I can provide some points for the affiliate, or so. It would be cool to have some Hooks on the client side as well.

Thank you

What about adding the referrer's id as a field in the newly created user so you can check it in onCreateUser?

hi ian, yes you are right, i could do it with a field, but the fields values are going to user.profile.. It's possible to solve, I know. However, just thought it would be cool to have some kind of Hook or Optional method, implemented by the user..

on lIne 477 instead of options = {};

var options = (typeof getCustomSignupOptions === 'function') getCustomSignupOptions() : {};
if (!(options instanceof Object)) options = {}

So then it's much simplier to pass some custom options values, just by creating these function on the client side..

getCustomSignupOptions = function() {
  return {
    refId: Session.get('refId') // Or whatever else..
  }
}

What do you think?

I think it's a good idea! Sorry it took so long.

Hey, I changed setCustomSignupOptions to accountsUIBootstrap3.setCustomSignupOptions for consistency.

Sure, it makes sense.
