I need a plugin or some guidence on creating a user's own folder on user registation.
For example...A user clicks on Register and registers ... I need wordpress to create a directory which would be linked with this user.
The reason I want to do this is because I am going to work on building a dashboard where a wordpress template will display the contents of this user's own directory.
Let me explain further step by step: (Note: "Not Req" means I don't need help with this step)
- User Registers and wordpress creates a directory called the same as the username.
- User uploads images to that specific directory via ftp or upload - "Not Req"
- I create a template that would display the content of the directory / sub (images) in some kind of tree format.
Right now, what I need to do is step 1.
Hope this helps.

Besides that WordPress works with virtual paths only, there are no dedicated directories for anything. – fuxia ♦ Commented May 3, 2012 at 20:55

Reset to default 6You can use the user_register action to hook into the register proces and then create the user directory with wp_mkdir_p.
function create_user_dir($user_id) {
$user_info = get_userdata( $user_id );
$upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
$user_dir = $upload_dir['basedir'] . '/user_dirs/' . $user_info->user_login;
wp_mkdir_p($user_dir);
}
add_action( 'user_register', 'create_user_dir');
This example makes a directory in uploads/user_dirs.
