A quick question on the auth_external module: when it authorises a user, can it also be used to pull additional information about that user and save it to their account? Even if it just allowed additional information to be passed and provided a hook, that would be great.
I'm thinking about a third-party membership system that would provide HTML authentication. Once users are authenticated, the system can provide membership levels, personal name, renewal date, even personal messages from the administrator. The idea is that this information would be pulled in the user's SS account (created or amended as required) and that could then be used in various placed around the SS CMS pages.
I am just wondering if Auth External makes this easy, i.e. already has this built-in as a feature.
