Advanced Feature: OAuth
As it is known, in phpBB4, with OAuth provider users will be able to register to our forums. This is very nice. But I have an idea to make it even nicer. When the user registers with the OAuth provider, profile information such as name and surname, date of birth should be filled automatically. Thus, the user profiles are mostly ready.

Would you want your first name and your surname and your date of birth displayed on a forum by default?halil16 wrote: Thu Mar 10, 2022 8:18 pm profile information such as name and surname, date of birth should be filled automatically. Thus, the user profiles are mostly ready.
All that privacy stuff a few years ago came in for a reason, to give people control of their own data, like where it is used and where it is shown.

Wrong, users can link their account to the Oauth during the standard registration phase.halil16 wrote: Thu Mar 10, 2022 8:18 pm As it is known, in phpBB4, with OAuth provider users will be able to register to our forums.
Same applies for phpBB3 BTW.
Each Oauth delivers different data, therefore that's not applicabile.halil16 wrote: Thu Mar 10, 2022 8:18 pm When the user registers with the OAuth provider, profile information such as name and surname, date of birth should be filled automatically. Thus, the user profiles are mostly ready.
Extension writers can make the use of an event created on purpose (already) to achieve that functionality, though.

Re: Advanced Feature: OAuth
I can understand that this is something about privacy that some people don't want. But it could be like this. The user connects with Facebook, for example. Afterwards, the name and surname are automatically entered in the registration form. The user can delete it.
In addition, Facebook, for example, necessarily shares the name and profile picture with the application / site.
What is phpBB3 BTW?

Re: Advanced Feature: OAuth
As much as i remember, there are no fields for name and surname in default installation & no need to add extra fields into default installation. As 3Di said above, you can achieve most of it with extension/s.
Last question you can answer yourself, because you have been using that phpBB version for some time now.

Re: Advanced Feature: OAuth
Transferring personal data from one database application to another would be in breach of GDPR.

Re: Advanced Feature: OAuth
Not in this case as it is the owner of his own data who consents to the transfer during registration, he has to consent by login to access the personal data of the other database, which allows him to access and pass it on. But this is another matter. This is the philosophy ofdavid63 wrote: Fri Mar 11, 2022 10:08 pm Transferring personal data from one database application to another would be in breach of GDPR.

Re: Advanced Feature: OAuth
That is not strictly true. Whilst it might his information he is not the "owner" of that data as the owner of that data is the person who owns the database.3Di wrote: Fri Mar 11, 2022 10:39 pm Not in this case as it is the owner of his own data who consents to the transfer during registration
There may be ways around this such as when submitting your data to the database there may be a clause within the T&Cs that specify that the data can be used in this way or there could be an option when accessing the second site that specifically allows access to the personal data in the "host" database.
