Including custom information from your site
If you're currently using Tender's automatic login process then you can also enable passing custom information from your site to Tender like their username, phone number or any other information you might find useful.
Each custom field corresponds to a tender_x cookie,
where x is your custom field name (for example
tender_plan shows up as "Plan"). Here's a table of all
the cookie values that need to be sent to get the output shown
above:
| Name | Value |
|---|---|
| tender_email | jsmith@example.com |
| tender_name | Joe Smith |
| tender_expires | 1228117891 |
| tender_hash | HMAC HASH |
| tender_subdomain | joestickets |
| tender_plan | Bronze |
| tender_admin | http://admin.lighthouseapp.com/users/555 |
Plugins
If you happen to be using the tender_multipass plugin for Rails, your life is a bit easier. Just note the custom fields in your multipass method like so:
# /app/models/user.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
include Tender::MultiPassMethods
# Use this hash to pass custom fields
tender_multipass do |user|
{:external_id => user.company.id, :account_balance => user.balance}
end
end
