Shortcodes [login-with-vipps application="wordpress"] – This will print out a Login with Vipps button that will log you into the given application, which by default can be either WordPress or WooCommerce. Uses this web component and supports the parameters: https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/knowledge-base/buttons/. [continue-with-vipps application="wordpress"] – This is the same, except for a different default text verb. Customizing the Plugin To use ‘Continue with Vipps/MobilePay’ in your application, there are two levels of customizations available, except for a mass of filters and hooks. Adding another ‘application’ to log into Logging into basic WordPress and into an application like WooCommerce is different in the details, especially with regards to * what page to redirect to (the profile page, or your account page, or maybe the checkout page), * handling of user data (for WooCommerce you want to update the users’ address) * and for error handling. For your own application, you may well have other actions you want done after new user registration, logins etc. We aim to provide support for as many applications as possible in time, but to create your own, these are the main steps: Define your application with a name. It should be a simple slug, like ‘wordpress’ or ‘woocommerce’ Create your login button, and make it call the supplied Javascript function “login_with_vipps” with your application name as argument. To customize, you can now modify several filters and hooks, the most important of which would be: ‘continue_with_vipps_error_your application_login_redirect’. This takes and returns an error-page redirect, the error string, and the login session data as an array. You can here return your own error page. ‘continue_with_vipps_before_your application_login_redirect’. This takes your logged-in user and a session (which can be called as an array) and is called right before the user is redirected. This would be a good place to add a filter to ‘login_redirect’ for instance. Filter ‘continue_with_vipps_your application_users_can_register’. Takes a truth value, an array of userinfo from Vipps MobilePay and a session, and should return true only if you allow the user to register Filter ‘continue_with_vipps_your application_create_userdata’. For newly registered users, takes an array to be passed to wp_update_user, an array of userinfo from Vipps MobilePay, and a session. You can here add your extra meta fields Filter ‘continue_with_vipps_your application_allow_login’. Takes a truth value, a user object, userinfo from Vipps MobilePay and a session, and returns true only if the user is allowed to log in Adding another ‘action’ apart from logging in You may want to do other things than logging in with the users’ confirmed Vipps MobilePay identity, and this plugin absolutely allows this. This might be submisssions of comments, reviews and so forth without requiring logins, or even just as a convenient way of letting users input their address. These are the main steps: Define your own action, like ‘submitaddress’. Create your button. The handler should call the static method ContinueWithVipps::getAuthRedirect($action) (you can also provide an array of sessiondata which will be available in your handlers, and restrict the scope of the data to retrieve from Vipps MobilePay. The return value is an URL to which you should redirect your user. Create your error handler. This should be hooked to ‘continue_with_vipps_error_your action‘. It will receive an error string, a description of the error, sometimes an error hint, and the contents of your session (which will no longer be active). You will need to redirect to your error page here, and show your user the error. The redirect is important, you should not output content in this action. Create your succes handler. This should be hooked to ‘continue_with_vipps_your action‘. It will receive an array of user information from Vipps MobilePay, and a live session. This handler too should end with a redirect to your success page. The rest is a simple matter of programming.
