PROGRAMMING

Hey all,

I need some advice on how I can automatically generate a password and username for people who buy one of my products.

It's for wordpress and I'm going to use e-junkie for the fulfilment.

Any ideas?

Why you want your customers to have username/password?

You want to give them Members access to private area?
For that i suggest you use some sort of membership plugin for Wordpress,
to handle this process...

I agree, lol. A membership thing, or maybe a separate script that handles such things individually. One thing I notice is that people like to place their downloads in obvious places on their servers. Such as "/downloads/" or "/ebooks/ or something.

Plus, having an autoregister on a Wordpress is a security breech, IMO. Even if you limit their access.

I think you may be able to accomplish this with the WP Wishlist membership plugin for WordPress:

Best of luck with it

You can also just dump the data into the database. It's only one table that handles users.

  This is true, I did a project last year in which we used some PHP code to do exactly this. It was a slightly different application, but performed the same function.
  
  Not sure how you'd integrate this with e-junkie though, perhaps you could strip the user details out of the confirmation email that gets sent to you when you make a sale.

MemberWing-X allows you to sell digital downloads, create paypal buttons where users may choose username/password, or it will generate username/pass automatically.
All download links will be protected for sharing. In other words - if member post on internet link to your premium downloads - no one will be able to access anything until they'll become a members and login.
This is the manual for it (which describes everything and I am working on it right now).
It also includes features that helps you to terminate members who are stealing your content and illegally sharing it. Tons of new stuff came in last week (I haven't announced it yet). So - consider this post as a forerunner.

  as others have already advised you a membership plugin would be best. If funds are tight you can get a basic generic free password generator from Robert Plank.

If you want to programmatically add users to Wordpress, check out the wp_create_user function.

basically you can create a plugin that will automatically register or you can just put the function to dump data in your database on functions.php but be sure to check your script for potential hacking issues
