With the Registration Add-on, you can map custom fields from the form to user profile fields. You need to know how your plugin stores the meta_key and then map that exact meta key name to the field you accepted in the registration form.</p> <p>The actual names of the meta keys are dependent on the plugin.</p> <p>Gravity Forms will capture the field information, the User Registration Add-on can be used to map form fields to usermeta profile fields, and a plugin or custom code will use those additional profile fields in the extended profile display.</p> <p>Screenshot of the user registration feed mapping meta keys to form fields: <a href="http://min.us/mo8mufYA" rel="nofollow">http://min.us/mo8mufYA</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-gf-be-used-to-build-extendedcomplex-user-profiles#post-39839 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 09:00:20 +0000 Justin 39839@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for your reply Chris,</p> <p>Right, but I want to map all of the fields we create in the registration form to the user profile field... There's plenty of custom field plugins for profiles, but how can those sync up to the GF User Registration? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-gf-be-used-to-build-extendedcomplex-user-profiles#post-39786 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 22:09:19 +0000 Chris Hajer 39786@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>There are certainly plugins available to extend the user profile. Here's one I saw recently:<br /> <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-crm/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-crm/</a></p> <p>Also, Justin Tadlock wrote up a good tutorial on extending the user profile:<br /> <a href="http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/09/10/adding-and-using-custom-user-profile-fields" rel="nofollow">http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/09/10/adding-and-using-custom-user-profile-fields</a></p> <p>It should not be necessary to reinvent the wheel. There's probably a plugin out there already. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-gf-be-used-to-build-extendedcomplex-user-profiles#post-39762 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 18:02:19 +0000 Justin 39762@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Guys, we're looking for a good solution to display the user meta that is generated with the GF registration forms on the user profile pages in the back-end. So far no luck, just wanted to post here to see if anyone has figured it out. </p> <p>The alternative is we're thinking of having a plugin developed that will enable this functionality... So if anyone has already done this please let me know :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-gf-be-used-to-build-extendedcomplex-user-profiles#post-35623 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 03:19:33 +0000 macfocus 35623@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sure ; )</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/projectmanager/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/projectmanager/</a></p> <p>Not sure if it fits the bill, but it's worth to take a look at it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-gf-be-used-to-build-extendedcomplex-user-profiles#post-35610 Sun, 18 Sep 2011 18:07:04 +0000 Chris Hajer 35610@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you supply a link to Project Manager please? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-gf-be-used-to-build-extendedcomplex-user-profiles#post-35604 Sun, 18 Sep 2011 15:43:43 +0000 macfocus 35604@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I know it five months after...<br /> But you could try taking a look at "Project Manager" If I am correct it "hooks" into the user profile. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-gf-be-used-to-build-extendedcomplex-user-profiles#post-22618 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 11:12:10 +0000 Carl Hancock 22618@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes, the User Registration Add-On uses user meta. So if you use another plugin to manage this, it would also have to use user meta.</p> <p>The way around this would be to customize the User Registration Add-On using the available API hooks which are documented in the Documentation area. But it would require custom code and you'd need to understand how the other plugin stores it's data and then write custom PHP to add your own options to the User Registration Add-On. It would certainly take knowledge of how hooks and the User Registration Add-On work to do this. Would suggest looking into another plugin first that uses user meta. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-gf-be-used-to-build-extendedcomplex-user-profiles#post-22593 Tue, 05 Apr 2011 18:46:27 +0000 Mark R 22593@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>So I'm clear......the Registration plugin as composed requires the custom fields to be in the user meta table, correct? The most straightforward solution would be to choose a plugin that creates additional fields in the meta table.</p> <p>Is there any way around this, or should I ask, any EASY way around this? By changing the GF Registration addon code itself to process a custom field name in a different table? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-gf-be-used-to-build-extendedcomplex-user-profiles#post-22587 Tue, 05 Apr 2011 18:23:08 +0000 Carl Hancock 22587@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You would have to find out where CIMY stores this information, if it uses the user meta table or not. </p> <p>Also, if it does store it's data in the user meta table it may actually use a prefix with the meta field name which means what you may think the name may be but it's actually not what you think it is. You'd have to find this out from the CIMY developers or by inspecting your WordPress database tables and looking in the user meta table.</p> <p>You may want to look into another plugin, but i'm not sure which one is good as I haven't actually used any of them. </p>
