In my routing file I have the following down.
Router.route('/user/:createdBy', {
name: 'user',
/*onBeforeAction: function () {
AccountsEntry.signInRequired(this);
},*/
fastRender: true,
data: function () {
paramId = this.params.createdBy;
// Still have to find a way how to get data
// Function below is only for signed in users
return Meteor.users.findOne(paramId);
}
});
In my user template I want to display the email. I have it like this {{emails.[0].address}} and as {{users.emails.[0].address}} but the email doesn't show up. It only shows up if the user is logged in. I however have the users Id as my param. (This is for testing purposes guys!).
If you want to use the logged off user information, you could try this:
// in your router.js
// callback would be called when login is successful
Meteor.onLogin(function(){
Session.set('login user', Meteor.user());
})
// in your template, or other functions
// the Session would be update only if a user login successfully
var userId = Session.get('login user')._id;

I wish it could help :-)

I have a mobile front-end that already has facebook authetication working. I have a Sails REST API that stores user data, posts etc.. I want to add security where facebook users can only POST GET DELETE PUT their own data.
I've read a almost every tutorial for facebook authenticating a web-app, but haven't found many for authenticating with a mobile app to protect the user data. I've tried to get Passport-Facebook-Token working but I just don't understand the little documentation available. I'm coming from a objective-C background so in the node learning curve now.
Here's the link to what I'm working with but I'm obviously missing something: https://github.com/drudge/passport-facebook-token
I have:
AuthController.js
module.exports = {
facebook: function(req, res) {
passport.authenticate('facebook-token', function(error, user, info) {
// do stuff with user
res.ok();
})(req, res);
}
};
api/services/protocols/passport.js
(with some other stuff from default passport sails-generate-auth)
var FacebookTokenStrategy = require('passport-facebook-token');
passport.use('facebook-token', new FacebookTokenStrategy({
clientID : "<my_id>",
clientSecret : "<my_secret>"
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
// console.log(profile);
var user = {
'email': profile.emails[0].value,
'name' : profile.name.givenName + ' ' + profile.name.familyName,
'id' : profile.id,
'token': accessToken
}
// You can perform any necessary actions with your user at this point,
// e.g. internal verification against a users table,
// creating new user entries, etc.
return done(null, user); // the user object we just made gets passed to the route's controller as `req.user`
}
));
Do I have to do something with config/routes to make sure it only allows users with access_tokens? I just can't find any resources out there. Passport doesn't even list Passport-Facebook-Token strategy as an option on their site.
thank you for the help
My question is this: How can I remove a user from the users db by username, or at all even?
I have a meteor application with a custom registration, and when an account is created you can login and manage your account and what have you.. My problem is that, on the local host for testing, I created a few extra user accounts that I want to delete individually (not a complete reset). I am on OS X so I went to terminal, typed in 'show dbs' but users came up empty and when I typed 'show users' nothing came up. If I type 'db.users.findOne()' information appears and I can get a username and _id. I know there is users and this command shows that there is at least one but the rest of the commands indicate that I can't manage them.
Below is some code for the registration page, specifically the Accounts.createUser I'm not sure it will mater for the response but I wanted to be thorough.
Template.SignUp.events({
'submit form': function(event, template){
event.preventDefault();
var UsernameVar = template.find('#username').value;
var emailVar = template.find('#Email').value;
var passwordVar = template.find('#password').value;
var ConfirmPasswordVar = template.find('#Cpassword').value;
if(ConfirmPasswordVar == passwordVar)
{
document.getElementById("NotValid").style.display = 'none';
Accounts.createUser({
username: UsernameVar,
email: emailVar,
password: passwordVar
}, function(err, result){
if(err)
{
document.getElementById("Unavailable").style.display = 'block';
}
else{
document.getElementById("Unavailable").style.display = 'none';
}
});
}
else{
document.getElementById("NotValid").style.display = 'block';
}
}
});
I've done a lot of searching on this issue and all I've found is how to grant users the right to remove profiles but I want to do it from terminal, even when the application launches I will be the only one to be using this feature so I don't want to start giving those rights to users.
If there is anything else I should provide please let me know.
meteor mongo
db.users.find({username: "someusername"}) // ensure that your query returns the correct user that you want to remove
db.users.remove({username: "someusername"})
I'm currently building a mini app that takes in a user login into Facebook for an event. There is no determining how many people will login, hence, mongoDB will be updated as users (clients) log in. However, I'm trying to insert an additional boolean field in Meteor's users collection and I'm not sure how to go about doing that. Here is my accounts.js code (server-side) that add's in users
Accounts.onCreateUser(function (options, user) {
if (options.profile) {
//want the users facebook pic and it is not provided by the facebook.service
options.profile.picture = "http://graph.facebook.com/" + user.services.facebook.id + "/picture/?type=large";
data = user.services.facebook;
user.profile = options.profile;
user.profile.voted = false;
}
return user;
});
Currently, I'm assigning the boolean field ("voted") to the profile field. But I can't seem to update this boolean value from the client-side js. The code I've got over here is shown below
Template.skills.events({
'click input.inc': function () {
Skills.update(Session.get("selected_skill"), {$inc: {mana: 1}});
//Meteor.users.update({_id:Meteor.default_connection.userId()},{$set:{profile.name:true}});
alert(Meteor.user().profile.name);
}
});
FYI:skills.events is merely a handlebar (Handlebars.js) that is triggered when a button is clicked. The attempt here is to update MongoDB when the button is clicked.
I'm pretty new to Meteor and hope the information provided is sufficient.
You just add one.
user.voted = false;
If you want to access the field on the client side, make sure to create additional subscription channel for it. Meteor does not publish custom user properties by default.
I want to send a verification email when some user is created. I use the accounts-password package, so any Accounts methods are called in my code.
I read in documentation that I need to call:
Accounts.sendVerificationEmail(userId, [email])
but the problem is that I don't know when to call it.
I tried to call in the callback function of Accounts.onCreateUser(func) but the user had not been created yet in the database.
Any ideas?
on the serverside:
Accounts.config({sendVerificationEmail: true, forbidClientAccountCreation: false});
got the answer from the comments above.
sendVerificationEmail is only available server-side. What I usually do is to use a setInterval inside onCreateUser to wait for Meteor to create the user before sending an email.
Read More: Verify an Email with Meteor Accounts.
// (server-side)
Accounts.onCreateUser(function(options, user) {
user.profile = {};
// we wait for Meteor to create the user before sending an email
Meteor.setTimeout(function() {
Accounts.sendVerificationEmail(user._id);
}, 2 * 1000);
return user;
});
You need specify mail in enviroment variables.
Then use Accounts.sendVerificationEmail(userId, [email]) in callback of Account.onCreateUser sorry for mistake and delay.
Like this (below is full example js file):
Template.register.events({
'submit #register-form' : function(e, t) {
e.preventDefault();
var email = t.find('#account-email').value
, password = t.find('#account-password').value;
// Trim and validate the input
Accounts.onCreateUser({email: email, password : password}, function(err){
if (err) {
// Inform the user that account creation failed
} else {
// Success. Account has been created and the user
// has logged in successfully.
Accounts.sendVerificationEmail(this.userId, email);
}
});
return false;
} });
if(Meteor.isServer){
Meteor.startup(function(){
process.env.MAIL_URL='smtp://your_mail:your_password#host:port'
}
}
I refered to this pages :
http://blog.benmcmahen.com/post/41741539120/building-a-customized-accounts-ui-for-meteor
http://sendgrid.com/blog/send-email-meteor-sendgrid/
How come my Meteor app with accounts package is not sending a verification email?
I'm using the below plugin in my app to get facebook connect working with auth.
https://github.com/webtechnick/CakePHP-Facebook-Plugin
The thing is I want to save user data into users table manually.
So I'm trying like this
public function beforeFacebookSave(){
//$this->Auth->autoRedirect = false;
debug($this->Connect->user('email'));
$this->Connect->authUser['User']['email'] = $this->Connect->user('email');
$this->Connect->authUser['User']['username'] = $this->Connect->user('username');
//Must return true or will not save.
$this->redirect(array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'beforefbsave', '?' => array('param1' => $this->Connect->user('email'))));
//return true;
}
The redirect is getting into a loop and getting an error
The page isn't redirecting properly
Is this a proper way or have follow some other method to get this done?
there is a documentation on page:
https://github.com/webtechnick/CakePHP-Facebook-Plugin
beforeFacebookSave handle the user to save into the users table. If returned false, creation is haulted.
//Add an email field to be saved along with creation.
function beforeFacebookSave(){
$this->Connect->authUser['User']['email'] = $this->Connect->user('email');
return true; //Must return true or will not save.
}
so if i were you i' d look on the next section:
beforeFacebookLogin Handle the user before logging the user into Auth.
function beforeFacebookLogin($user){
//Logic to happen before a facebook login
}
and instead of redirection use direct functions from your model.
