Hi Franky
The WP user is created by the eme_create_user function. I would like to modify this function to impose the following format on the display_name and user_nicename:
First name and after a space the first letter of the lastname.
I do this by adding the following 2 lines (2972 and 2973) to eme_functions.php:
2972 display_name’=> $person[‘firstname’] ‘.substr($person[‘lastname’],0,1), 2973 user_nicename’=> $person[‘firstname’].’ ‘.substr($person[‘lastname’],0,1)
But, of course, this is not perennial. Do you have a solution?
Thanks in advance.

Filter eme_wp_userdata_filter allows you to set extra info for the WP user being created after a booking (if that option is set). The current EME person is given as argument (array), the result should be an array that is accepted by wp_update_user
Thanks a lot Franky. I was absent yesterday. I’ll look at this
I forgot to add: last name and first name are set after the filter (I need those to be the same as in EME), but all the other settings can be changed/set.
I think the filter hook will be call eme_wp_userdata_filter but is not yet written ?
I have seen the changeset. But where is define the filter eme_wp_userdata_filter ?
I suppose i have to write it in the function.php of my theme ? and I dont know what filterhook must be chosen ? eme_insert_person_filter ? eme_insert_member_filter ?You need to define the filter eme_wp_userdata_filter (that is the name of the filter you need to create) in your theme/functions.php (or use the plugin “snippets”)
When I create the filter eme_wp_userdata_filter I have to hook it to an existing hook? and what is it?
That is the name of the filter to hook into. Your own function can be called anything you like, see examples here: https://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/category/documentation/12-hooks-and-filters/ (search “add_filter”)
Well I did that
“add_filter(’eme_insert_member_filter’,’eme_wp_userdata_filter’);
function eme_wp_userdata_filter(){
$userdata[‘display_name’]=$person[‘firstname’].’ ‘.substr($person[‘lastname’],0,1);
}”but it doesn’t work.
That is not what I said, nor what the examples specify. A simple example (untested, but should work):
add_filter('eme_wp_userdata_filter','eme_my_wp_userdata_function'); function eme_my_wp_userdata_function($person){ $userdata=array(); $userdata['display_name']=$person['firstname'].' '.substr($person['lastname'],0,1); return $userdata; }My experience with php is poor. I didn’t understand because I couldn’t find it because I thought the eme_wp_userdata_filter hook had to be defined somewhere. So I will test your example. Thanks
It works perfectly. Once again, thank you Franky for your quick support.
Don’t forget: if you put it in your theme’s functions.php, it will get removed when upgrading your theme. In fact the snippet plugin is then easier ..
Do you think snippet is better than child theme and function.php?
