Ext_db_auth updated

Category: UncategorizedCharlene @ 12:46 am

Just that.  It works from what I can tell with WordPress 2.5 and higher; the code’s been tightened up, besides.  Download it at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/external-database-authentication/

    Great plugin, thanks for sharing.

    There’s a little problem with the ordering of extra fields if some of them don’t exist in the external database.

    An easy fix is to add the WP keys when you assign $sqlfields, use mysql_fetch_assoc then use something like $userarray['first_name'] = $extfields[$sqlfields['first_name']]; to perform the mapping.

    Stay well, Craig

    Craig, thanks for the heads up. I updated it now and the changes should show up shortly.

    Also, next version I hope will support non-MySQL dbs such as MSSQL, PGSQL, etc. with the use of MDB2 PEAR package. Hopefully I’ll be able to get that out this evening….
