** RESTATED **
I am creating a bridge. The work involves a default installation of WordPress and a plugin to bridge a forum and WordPress. The forum provides all the account information. The secondary usergroup of the forum is matched to the WP role. Now I am trying to retrieve the “role” selected in the options for that logged in user and add_role for the string. Inserting wp_die shows the correct role is being given to the logged in user. However, the wrong capabilities are being added. Everyone is getting admin.
// returns an array
var_dump( $XF->options['xf_user_role'] );
//returns string() "role such as administrator" (in quotes)
var_dump( $XF->options['xf_user_role'][$user_group] );
** UPDATED **:
Here is the latest partial code. There is no reason to really show filluserData
class XF_User_Data {
public static function fillUserData($visitor, $classObj, $user_id) {
// doing something and calls set_user_roles
}
public static function set_user_roles( &$classObj, $user_group_id, $secondary_group_ids ) {
/**
* Function set_user_roles(&$classObj, $user_group_id, $secondary_group_ids)
*
* This function sets the current user role based on the secondary group
*/
global $XF, $wp_roles;
$user_groups = explode( ',', $secondary_group_ids );
$user_groups[] = $user_group_id;
/**
* Loop through the user_roles and find the WP role equivalent for each
*/
$user_roles = array();
foreach( $user_groups as $user_group ) {
$user_roles[] = $XF->options['xf_user_role'][$user_group];
/**
* wp_die( 'This is the role:' . var_dump( $XF->options['xf_user_role'] ) );
*
* Returns:
*
* array(7) { [3]=> string(13) "administrator" [4]=> string(6) "author" [2]=> string(10) "subscriber" [1]=> string(10) "subscriber" [5]=> string(6) "author" [7]=> string(11) "contributor" [6]=> string(6) "editor" }
*/

The wrong capabilities are being added to the user roles. For example, everyone is getting administrator capabilities.
What is wrong with this code?
PS. I am a neophyte and know just enough to be dangerous 😉
