WordPress App Integration
This is a plugin to integrate WordPress with a mobile app or PWA.
It was meant to go with this tutorial http://scottbolinger.com/ionic-wordpress-app/ but it does not have to be used with Ionic.
Usage
Download this repository, and then upload it to your WordPress wp-content/plugins directory. You can also zip the file and upload it through Plugins => Add new in your wp-admin.
Activate the plugin.
WP-API Login
This plugin adds an endpoint to the WP-API to allow a simple verification of a WordPress user. It is meant as a simple login for a mobile app, it is not secure enough to replace oAuth or any other existing protocol.
Once the plugin is activated, you can make a POST request to https://mysite.com/wp-json/app/v1/login
Include the following:
$_POST['security']is the security phrase$_POST['logout']if set to "true" it will log the user out$_POST['username']or$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'](not all servers accept authentication headers)$_POST['password']or$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'](not all servers accept authentication headers)
Be sure to change the security passphrase in class-wpapi-login.php, preferably a hash of some sort.
If a valid username, password, and security phrase is sent, a json success message will be returned that you can use in your app:
$return = array(
'message' => 'The log in you have entered is not valid.',
'signon' => $info['user_login'],
'line' => __LINE__,
'success' => false
);
WP-API Mods
This plugin also adds featured image urls to the post response to make it easier to display features images in post lists. The field added is featured_image_urls, with all available urls for each image size returned.
