how to assign specific user roles upon automatic registration - simple FB Connect - Drupal 7 - facebook

Question

How do I assign a specific role from drupal core(D7) upon automatic registration with Simple FB Connect? I currently am using auto role assign and have a custom registration for 2 roles, One is a basic role with limited permissions and the other an advanced role with more edit/creation permissions. My problem is that the simple FB connect link works great but is registering people for the wrong roles. How can I choose the role that is being assigned based on the url?
Maybe something in template.php that would allow the following url to be placed on my facebook buttons?
/user/simple-fb-connect?registration=1&role=my_custom_role

Answer 1

YOu can use use hook_user_insert and check for the url and assign desired role,
function module_name_user_insert(&$edit, $account, $category)
{
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] =="url")
{
//add code to assign desired role;
//assuming rid of custom role is 1
$account->roles[1]='custom_role';
}
}

I encourage you to take a look at the rules module: https://www.drupal.org/project/rules/
This module allows you to create automated tasks based on events. What you want to do is:
Download and enable rules module: https://www.drupal.org/project/rules/
You'll need to enable rules UI as well
Go to rules configuration: example.com/admin/config/workflow/rules
Create a new rule
The rule event should be something like: "User registers a new account connected to Facebook"
The rule action should be something like: "Assign role to user"
Interface should be pretty straight forward.
