Login callbacks

There are cases where we want any plugin to do some check or action as part of the require_login check or related things around logging in or passwords but which are not handled by an authentication plugin.

after_config

Moodle 3.8

Triggered as soon as practical on every moodle bootstrap after config has been loaded. The $USER object is available at this point too.

function tool_myplugin_after_config() {

   // Tweak some config.

}

Implemented in https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-66340

after_require_login

Moodle 3.7

This callback allow a plugin to add additional behavior after require_login is called. Some use cases:

• replacing the sitepolicy feature with a more robust / advanced version
• augmenting the 'user fully setup' workflow to add more steps but outside their profile editing page
• adding extra layers of checks, eg an ip address check but doing this across whole courses instead of at the sitelevel which is too coarse, or at the activity level which is too fine.
• enforcing various types of course visibility dependencies, eg 'before you can do course X you need to complete course Y'

function tool_myplugin_after_require_login() {

   if (should_divert()) {
       redirect($somewhere);
   }

}

Implemented in https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-60470

Gotcha: The intent behind this callback was to have a single callback which fires on every page as soon as you know which user you are dealing with. But there is an edge case which is for pages which do not ever call require_login (or one of the variants like require_admin(), require_course_login()). But in these situations the user is still logged in. If a page like this is the first page they visit after they login then after_require_login will not fire until they try to visit another page which does call require_login. Below is a workaround using the `after_config` callback added in 3.8:

function tool_myplugin_after_config() {

   if (isloggedin() && !isguestuser()) {
       tool_myplugin_after_require_login();
   }

}

check_password_policy

This callback allows a plugin to add additional password tests. Moodle 3.6

https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-61694

Since 3.8 this callback can also accept a $user object so that various rule can be applied against that user (eg your password cannot contain your name) Moodle 3.8

/**

* A check password callback
*
* @param string $password The password to be validated.
* @param stdClass $user A user object to perform validation against if preset. Defaults to null
* @return string Returns a string of any errors presented by the checks, or an empty string for success.
*
*/

function tool_passwordvalidator_check_password_policy($password, $user = null) {

   return ;

}

print_password_policy

Moodle 3.8

This callback allows a plugin to explain the additional password added via check_password_policy

https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-66278

pre_signup_requests

Moodle 3.5

eg to do actions before sign up such as acceptance of policies, validations, etc

function tool_myplugin_pre_signup_requests() {

  // Do some special policy

}

extend_change_password_form

Moodle 3.8

WIP: This callback allows for injection of additional form elements into the change password form, to allow for more complicated behaviour such as 2FA. Note: This hook is not supported or compatible with the Webservices API or the Moodle mobile app. It does not damage or interrupt any current functionality of the mobile application, however injected form elements and actions will not be executed for mobile users.

function tool_myplugin_extend_change_password_form($mform, $user) {

  // Inject a static element of the user's username
  $mform->addElement('static', 'injectedstatic', $user->username);

}

https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-66173

extend_set_password_form

Moodle 3.8

WIP: This callback allows for injection of additional form elements into the set password form, to allow for more complicated behaviour such as 2FA. Note: This hook is not supported or compatible with the Webservices API or the Moodle mobile app. It does not damage or interrupt any current functionality of the mobile application, however injected form elements and actions will not be executed for mobile users.

function tool_myplugin_extend_set_password_form($mform, $user) {

  // Inject a static element of the user's username
  $mform->addElement('static', 'injectedstatic', $user->username);

}

https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-66173

extend_forgot_password_form

Moodle 3.8

WIP: This callback allows for injection of additional form elements into the forgot password form, to allow for more complicated behaviour such as 2FA. Note: This hook is not supported or compatible with the Webservices API or the Moodle mobile app. It does not damage or interrupt any current functionality of the mobile application, however injected form elements and actions will not be executed for mobile users.

function tool_myplugin_extend_forgot_password_form($mform) {

  // Inject a static element of the word 'injected'
  $mform->addElement('static', 'injectedstatic', 'injected');

}
