Action in wp-login.php

[SGr33n]

Hi,

I was thinking that wp-login should have some do actions, and more customization possible, like filtering username and password inputs.

Is it in program?

Thanks :)

like filtering username and password inputs.

What would be a use case for this?

Hi! Would be for adding a Facebook/google/Twitter login.

About the filter, in order to add e.g. A placeholder for the input fileds.

Thanks :)

Yes look like they are the same cases. I will subscribe there.

EDIT: I was confused. Disregard.

There is an old old ticket for this that had a few patches and one that was added in a recent version (and then later removed I think). I'm trying to dig it up.

But yeah, it's a good idea to have filters on the new user page similar to the ones on the edit user page. The main hold up before was that there were lots of multisite considerations that made this less than easy. With the new MU push, maybe we can get an acceptable patch for this now.

Here's the old one: #18709

Here is where it was removed per the last comment there: [25631]

Not sure what the official follow up on this is, but once consensus is made on which filters and where, I will write the patch. (Really want this one.)

This ticket is about new hooks in wp-login.php, not on the new user page.

Doh. Sorry for the diversion.

In the following patch I've added filters to the input fields in wp-login in order to modify them to add e.g. a placeholder value.

I also added 3 actions:

before_register_form_fields
before_login_form_fields
before_resetpass_form_fields

These are running before the input fileds of related forms. Infact, actually, the current wp-login version doesn't provide a different hook for login page, register page and retrive password page, and checking on which page you are could be a bitt dificoult. In that way we have different actions for each wp-login page.

Some chances to be addressed?
