Easy way to Change Woocommerce default user Role.

Easy way to Change Woocommerce default user Role.

Hello buddy,

I want to share something with you about Easy way to Change Woocommerce default user Role customer to something you need or like. I was working on LMS project so wrote down few lines of code that I want to share with you. May it help you.

Woocommerce allows WordPress user registration at checkout and my account page. It creates user by default role as customer. But for purpose of your project,sometime you may need other role other than customer. As in LMS project, I wanted user to have student role, who registers at checkout page. So not need to worry for that. Woocommerce Gives a control over it using via a filter `woocommerce_new_customer_data`.

In \wp-content\plugins\woocommerce\includes\wc-customer-functions.php : line 102

<?php
$new_customer_data = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_new_customer_data', array(
    'user_login' => $username,
    'user_pass'  => $password,
    'user_email' => $email,
    'role'       => 'customer'
) ); ?>

In above lines extracted from Woocommerce, woocommerce_new_customer_data is filter applied over $new_customer_data variable. Still user is not registered, so you can deal with users data as you wish, wp user get created.

You can filter User Role by changing value in Array ($new_customer_data) provided by woocommerce_new_customer_data filter. You must use add_filter action in you theme’s function.php file or your plugin file. Write your own function like my_new_customer_data().

Dafault format of filter is as below.

<?php add_filter( $tag, $function_to_add, $priority, $accepted_args ); ?>

You have to pass minimum 2 parameters to add_filter action. i.e. $tag, $function_to_add

<?php add_filter( 'woocommerce_new_customer_data', 'my_new_customer_data'); ?>

In your function just have to replace value of key index which is ‘role’. You can directly specify user role like option one as shown below or You can get default user role from WordPress default user role option(Which is in general settings) like option two.

Option one:

<?php $new_customer_data['role'] = 'student'; ?>

Option two:

<?php $new_customer_data['role'] = get_option( 'default_role' ); ?>

Hence finally you just have to add below lines of code to your theme or plugin. Enjoy WordPress and Woocommerce with your project. Happy coding. 🙂  🙂  🙂

<?php
function my_new_customer_data($new_customer_data){
 $new_customer_data['role'] = get_option( 'default_role' );
 return $new_customer_data;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_new_customer_data', 'my_new_customer_data');
?>
Force entire WordPress website over SSL/HTTPS

Force entire WordPress website over SSL/HTTPS

Force entire WordPress website over SSL/HTTPS using .htaccess file

This tutorial is for you if you are searching for Force entire WordPress website over SSL/HTTPS or Force entire website over SSL/HTTPS or Redirect all request from http to https

Its is very easy using .htaccess file. If you have access to server files and you are using apache server for your website. Go to server web root directory. Edit .htaccess file and add below lines of code before WordPress rewrite code which starts with # BEGIN WordPress Or if you running a non WordPress website, then add this code before any rewrite code or at start of .htaccess file.


# Begin Force website over SSL by MakarandMane.com

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(.*)\ HTTP/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R=301,QSA,L]

# End Force SSL

Force entire WordPress website over SSL/HTTPS using WordPress Coding

If you are not familiar with htaccess or you don’t want to touch htaccess file or You want to handle WordPress, then you can also force website to https using php header funciton or WordPress wp_redirect. You can use any one method to redirect page.

PHP Header function

header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header("Location: https://" . $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);

WordPress wp_redirect function:

wp_redirect('https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 301 );

You have to use WordPress template_redirect action to redirect web-pages.

add_action('template_redirect', 'force_ssl');

We have write a function for this action. In function force_ssl we will check whether current page is opening on ssl using is_ssl() WordPress conditional function. I am writing same function using both method we discussed above. Both works same way.

function force_ssl()
{
if (!is_ssl () )
{
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header("Location: https://" . $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
exit();
}
}

function force_ssl()
{
if (!is_ssl () )
{
wp_redirect('https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 301 );
exit();
}
}

If you want to disable to force SSL you have to comment or remove code. But every time you to go theme files and make changes. So better way if we make a switch which can help us to enable and disable SSL mode by doing small change. So for this purpose we can define a constant in wp-config file.

define('FRONT_END_SSL' , false);

We will add action if contrast FRONT_END_SSL is defined. Then if website is not running on ssl and constant is set to true we will redirect visitor to https.

if (defined('FRONT_END_SSL'))
  add_action('template_redirect', 'force_ssl');

function force_ssl(){

if ( FRONT_END_SSL && !is_ssl () )
 {
  wp_redirect('https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 301 );
  exit();
 }
}

Remote desktop connection for multiple users on windows 10

Introduction

In windows we can access the Remote Desktop by using a remote desktop app provided by the windows. In order to successfully access the remote desktop we first need to do some simple setting in : Remote Desktop setting we have to enable the “Enable Remote Desktop” option. Then by using the Desktop name you can access the remote desktop.
But when we try to access the remote computer with simple settings currently active user on the remote computer can not access the remote computer. If a remote computer has multiple user accounts on the computer then we can access the other user without disturbing currently active users on the remote computer i.e. we can make remote desktop connections for multiple users without disturbing currently active user.

How to do it?

To allow multiple remote desktop connections we need to modify the termsvrl.dll which restricts the number of RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) connections to one. There are two methods developed to enable the multiple RDP session without disturbing currently active user of remote desktop.

  1. Modifying termsvrl.dll
  2. RDP Wrapper Library

In this tutorial we will study the second method to allow multiple RDP sessions on windows 8 or 10.

What is RDP Wrapper Library :

RDP Wrapper is a free open source project to enable Remote Desktop Host support and allow us to access remote desktop connections for multiple users without disturbing currently active user.It works as a layer between Service Control Manager and Terminal Services, so we can access the remote desktop without modifying the original termsrv.dll file.
To use the RDP wrapper you must have the original termsrv.dll if you have made some changes or patched it before, it may not work or it will crash any time. So take care of that.

Steps to allow multiple RDP session (using RDP Wrapper Library) :

Step 1. Download RDP Wrapper Library

https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/releases (v1.6).

Step 2. Open RDPWrap-v1.6.2.zip

RDPWrap-v1.6.2.zip archive contains some files:
RDPWinst.exe — an RDP Wrapper Library install/uninstall program
RDPConf.exe — an RDP Wrapper configuration utility
RDPCheck.exe — Local RDP Checker
install.bat, uninstall.bat, update.bat — batch files for installation, uninstallation and update of RDP Wrapper

Step 3. Install RDPWrapper

Open install.bat file with the Administrator privileges. It will install the RDP Wrapper.

Step 4. Configure RDPWrapper

Open RDPConf.exe with Administrator privileges. Make sure that all elements in the Diagnostics section are green. (If your all elements in the Diagnostic section are in the green then you are ready to connect the remote desktop )

If service state is Stopped

Check TermService is not stopped. To start TermService try command

 net start termservice

If version is [ not supported]

  1. Update the rdpwrap.ini
    In order to update the rdpwrap.ini file, you first need to stop the RDP service, otherwise you will get an ‘access denied’ error or similar.
  2.  you need to patch your rdpwrap.ini configuration file. You will find the file here: C:\Program Files\RDP Wrapper\rdpwrap.ini.
  3. First Stop the RDP service. For that use command 
     net stop termservice
  4.  Download the updated rdpwrap.ini from here:
    https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/files/3078951/rdpwrap.zip
  5. For build 18363.836 follow https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/issues/1083
  6. Download the zip file and overwrite your current file
  7.  Now start the the RDP service. For that use command 
     net start termservice
Note: If still rdpwrap.ini version is [ not supported] then try another version of rdpwrap.ini. You will get a different file of rdpwrap.ini on github. For me the above file is worked.

Step 5: Setting of RDPWrapper

Security mode: Network Level Authentication

Network Level Authentication decides the user’s credentials from the client through a client-side Security Support Provider and It do the  authenticate before establishing a session on the server. Network Level Authentication was introduced in RDP 6.0 .

single user per session

A user will have the same view of desktop/running apps whether its login directly from the console, or (later) logging in through remote desktop. Obviously only one session for that user can be connected at the same time.

Apply the changes

Step 6: Save the changes and reboot.

Step 7:Connect to remote desktop

Now try to connect the Remote Desktop. And access the user which is currently not working. This way you can access the remote desktop without disturbing currently active user.

Conclusion:

This way by  modify the termsvrl.dll which define the number of RDP session you can allow remote desktop connections for multiple users on windows 10 or 8.
