External User Column Type

Question

I am trying to integrate this with wordpress and I cannot get the column type to work.  Should I be looking at the ID, User_Login or what?  How do I enter it into the external-user file?  It keeps telling me column type is not allowed, but I"m trying to use varchar(60) which I believe should be allowed.

Thanks!

Answer 1

The most sensible thing to use is the primary key, ID, i.e. return a type of BIGINT. You can then use the mapping functions to show user_nicename on the pages. The example code will be very helpful.
