Mobile User Registration

0 Views

I am writing an android (and eventually iphone) app that is proposing to register a user to a wordpress site. The intent is to have the user registration solely through the mobile device and not through a website front end. The app will update the wordpress site and the user will be able to login in to see his data. I have a general idea on how to use the wp hooks with json to do the mobile registration. However, is there a way to the registration process without enabling “anyone can register” in “general/settings”? (note: I looked through all the questions using “Mobile User Registration” but did not see any related.). Thanks in advance

  1. New users CAN be allowed to register remotely without setting “anyone can register” in “general/settings”. The client is android and in addition to the android java client code using the ‘org.xmlrpc library’, the following was added to ‘functions.php’ in the child theme:

    function xml_add_method( $methods ) {
    $methods['xxx.wp_create_user'] = 'xxx_wp_create_user';
    return $methods;
}

add_filter( 'xmlrpc_methods', 'xml_add_method');

function xxx_wp_create_user( $args ) {
    $uname = $args[1];
    $pword = $args[2];
    $email = $args[3];
   $user_id = wp_create_user( $uname, $pword, $email ); 
   return $user_id;
}
