CdliAutogenUsername

Version 0.2.1 Created by the Centre for Distance Learning and Innovation (www.cdli.ca)

Introduction

CdliAutogenUsername is an extension to ZfcUser which provides a flexible username generator.
At it's heart is a simple, event-driven filter chain to which filter plugins are registered to perform specific actions on the username under construction. The module also contains an adapter system for interfacing with external user account systems, such as ZfcUser. It uses these adapters to ensure that every username generated is unique to the system.

Installation: ZfcUser

Main Setup

1. Install the ZfcUser ZF2 module by cloning it into ./vendor/ and enabling it in your application.config.php file.
2. Clone this project into your ./vendor/ directory and enable it in your application.config.php file.
3. Copy ./vendor/CdliAutogenUsername/config/module.cdliautogenusername.local.php.dist to ./config/autoload/module.cdliautogenusername.local.php.
4. Fill in the required configuration variable values in the file you just copied.

Activation

To have CdliAutogenUsername automatically inject a generated username when a new user account is created, paste the following snippet into the onBootstrap event of one of your Application's modules:

$serviceManager = $e->getTarget()->getServiceManager();
$zfcServiceEvents = $serviceManager->get('zfcuser_user_service')->events();
$zfcServiceEvents->attach('createFromForm', function($e) use ($serviceManager) {
    $user = $e->getParam('user');
    $generator = $serviceManager->get('CdliAutogenUsername\Generator');
    $username = $generator->generate();
    $user->setUsername($username);
));
