How to Implement Chat-based User Authentication in a WordPress Plugin using ChatGPT PHP
Posted on 19th June 2023
Integrating chat-based user authentication into your WordPress plugin can be a great way to add an extra layer of security to your site. In this article, we’ll show you how to do just that using the ChatGPT PHP library.
Step 1: Set up your WordPress plugin
First, you’ll need to set up your WordPress plugin. If you haven’t already done so, create a new directory for your plugin and add a file called plugin.php to it. In this file, you’ll need to include the following code:
Be sure to replace the placeholder values in the code above with your own plugin’s information.
Step 2: Install the ChatGPT PHP library
Next, you’ll need to install the ChatGPT PHP library. You can do this using Composer:
composer require chatgpt/chatgpt-phpAlternatively, you can download the library from GitHub and include it in your plugin manually.
Step 3: Set up user authentication
Now that you have the ChatGPT PHP library installed, you can start setting up chat-based user authentication. First, you’ll need to create a file called chatgpt.php in your plugin’s directory. In this file, you’ll need to include the following code:
auth()->login('username', 'password');
// Your code goes here.
?>Be sure to replace the placeholder values in the code above with your own ChatGPT API key and credentials.
Step 4: Test your plugin
Now that you have chat-based user authentication set up, it’s time to test your plugin. First, activate your plugin in WordPress. Then, try logging in to your WordPress site using the chat interface. You should see a message indicating that you’ve successfully logged in.
That’s it! You’ve now successfully set up chat-based user authentication in your WordPress plugin.
In the previous article, we looked at how to use ChatGPT PHP to add chat-based user authentication to a WordPress plugin. In this article, we will look at how to use ChatGPT PHP to add chat-based user authentication to a WordPress plugin.
We will need to do the following:
1. Install the ChatGPT PHP SDK
2. Create a new file called chat.php in our plugin’s folder
3. In chat.php, we will first initialise the SDK with our ChatGPT API key
4. Then, we will create a new instance of the SDK’s Client class
5. Next, we will create a new instance of the SDK’s Auth class
6. We will then call the Auth class’ login() method, passing in the username and password of the user we wish to authenticate
7. If the login() method returns true, we will then call the Client class’ getUser() method to get the user’s details
8. Finally, we will output the user’s details to the browser
Let’s get started.
1. Install the ChatGPT PHP SDK
The first thing we need to do is to install the ChatGPT PHP SDK. The SDK is available on Github at https://github.com/chatgpt/chatgpt-php.
To install the SDK, we can use composer:
composer require chatgpt/chatgpt-php
2. Create a new file called chat.php in our plugin’s folder
Next, we will create a new file called chat.php in our plugin’s folder.
3. In chat.php, we will first initialise the SDK with our ChatGPT API key
In chat.php, we will first need to initialise the SDK with our ChatGPT API key. We can do this by calling the SDK’s init() method and passing in our API key:
<?php
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
$apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
ChatgptChatgpt::init($apiKey);
4. Then, we will create a new instance of the SDK's Client class
Next, we will create a new instance of the SDK's Client class. The Client class is used to make requests to the ChatGPT API.
5. Next, we will create a new instance of the SDK's Auth class
After that, we will create a new instance of the SDK's Auth class. The Auth class is used for authenticating users with the ChatGPT API.
6. We will then call the Auth class' login() method, passing in the username and password of the user we wish to authenticate
We will then call the Auth class' login() method, passing in the username and password of the user we wish to authenticate.
If the login() method returns true, we will then call the Client class' getUser() method to get the user's details.
7. If the login() method returns true, we will then call the Client class' getUser() method to get the user's details
If the login() method returns true, we will then call the Client class' getUser() method to get the user's details.
8. Finally, we will output the user's details to the browser
Finally, we will output the user's details to the browser.
This is the complete code for chat.php:
login($username, $password)) {
$user = $client->getUser();
echo ‘Welcome, ‘ . $user->name;
} else {
echo ‘Login failed’;
}
If you’re using the default WordPress login system, you can use the chatbot to handle user authentication. To do this, add the following code to your plugin:
function chatbot_login($user, $username, $password){
if (chatbot_verify_user($username, $password)){
$user = get_user_by(‘login’, $username);
wp_set_current_user($user->ID, $username);
wp_set_auth_cookie($user->ID);
do_action(‘wp_login’, $username);
}
}
add_action(‘wp_authenticate’, ‘chatbot_login’, 10, 3);
This will allow your users to login using the chatbot.
