Automatic or massive creation of members folders before first logins

spanish · January 7, 2021, 3:43pm

Hello,

Is it possible for member folders to be created automatically when creating their user accounts (before log in)? With event handlers? Other way?

Can the member folders of all currently existing users be massively created?

Thanks for your help and happy 2021!

I am not aware of any events trigger through a user registration.
Here are some hints about replacing the standard registration form with easyform:

https://community.plone.org/t/custom-event-type-with-a-registration-form

Creating folders or whatever using plone.api should be straight forward then..

There are two Events for User Login . Defined in Products.Plone.PAS

IUserLoggedInEvent
IUserInitialLoginInEvent

I use the events to count the logins over a special time range of every user.

Get the the membership tool like mtool = plone.api.portal.get_tool("portal_membership").
Iterate over the userids you need a memberfolder for,
for each userid call. mtool.createMemberArea(userid)

zopefoundation/Products.CMFCore/blob/master/Products/CMFCore/MembershipTool.py#L256-L293


def createMemberArea(self, member_id=''):
    """ Create a member area for 'member_id' or authenticated user.
    """
    if not self.getMemberareaCreationFlag():
        return None
    members = self.getMembersFolder()
    if members is None:
        return None
    if self.isAnonymousUser():
        return None
    if member_id:
        if not self.isMemberAccessAllowed(member_id):
            return None
        member = self.getMemberById(member_id)
        if member is None:
            return None
    else:
        member = self.getAuthenticatedMember()
        member_id = member.getId()
    if hasattr(aq_base(members), member_id):

If you have a lots of users use (sub)transactions or split up the amount of users in one run.

And if you need it on creation of the user (like using the control panel) there is the IPrincipalCreatedEvent you can subscribe to.

github.com

zopefoundation/Products.PluggableAuthService/blob/master/Products/PluggableAuthService/interfaces/events.py#L24-L26


class IPrincipalCreatedEvent(IPASEvent):
    """A new principal has been created.
    """

But be aware, groups are also principals, so check what you get.

Slightly off topic, but want to mention that there is an add-on for 'on login':
