The issue is that WordPress by default doesn't display that extra data under User Profiles and as such, they couldn't edit it. It is stored, it is available, but you have to do what Justin lists to be able to see that information and edit it in the user profile area of WordPress. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/additional-customer-fields-multiple-admin-emails-and-authorisation#post-141566 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 12:36:41 +0000 jarvis 141566@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey Chris,<br /> Thanks again for the reply.</p> <p>So have I misunderstood what Gravity Forms can do? I thought using gravity forms I could extend the user profile information, rather than coding it as per the Justin Tadlock post</p> <p>Once it was extended, using the BETA version, people could be approved by the admin (with emails going to multiple addresses). Then when approved, the user can login and amend their own details</p> <p>Using other plugins, I can then search/query the list of approved users</p> <p>Is this not the case with Gravity Forms?</p> <p>Thanks again </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/additional-customer-fields-multiple-admin-emails-and-authorisation#post-137992 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 23:27:27 +0000 Chris Hajer 137992@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>What you want to do can be done, but it will require some work. The post by Justin Tadlock explains in great detail how to accomplish it. I think I understand what you're trying to do, and it can be done. The search issue still needs to be resolved; some sort of plugin to search user profiles. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/additional-customer-fields-multiple-admin-emails-and-authorisation#post-137451 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 10:15:41 +0000 jarvis 137451@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Chris<br /> Thanks for the reply. </p> <p>We're trying to extend the user profile when they register with the site. Then they can update it themselves which I hope can be achieved once the extended fields are setup with Gravity forms</p> <p>We then simply want to retrieve any additional info. </p> <p>As I say, If you let me know your email address, I'll send you a link to the site we're building as it might explain it far more easily. However, I don't wish to publish the URL on here</p> <p>Thanks </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/additional-customer-fields-multiple-admin-emails-and-authorisation#post-137365 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 08:38:38 +0000 Chris Hajer 137365@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If you want the user to be able to edit this information, I think I would make it part of their user profile. You can capture all the information in the form, and it would be stored in the database, but if you don't extend the user profile to show the information, no one would know it was there, and there would be no way to edit it either. </p> <p>You can learn more out about extending the user profile here:<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>There are other tutorials as well, but basically, Gravity Forms will capture the information, and then it's up to you to use it where you want. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/additional-customer-fields-multiple-admin-emails-and-authorisation#post-136535 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 13:11:03 +0000 jarvis 136535@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Chris</p> <p>Say for example we change the registration form to include:<br /> Fax<br /> Company<br /> Category (from a drop down, ideally they can select multiples for their business sector)<br /> Mobile<br /> Logo</p> <p>Then what we want is for them (once approved) to be able to login and alter their own details</p> <p>On the site, we want to list all members by category or search by name or company name. If you then click on a search result, it goes to a page and shows the full members info.</p> <p>If you have an email address, I can send you an example of the site at the mo but don't wish to publically show the link</p> <p>Thanks again </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/additional-customer-fields-multiple-admin-emails-and-authorisation#post-135183 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 11:05:20 +0000 Chris Hajer 135183@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You can pull whatever data you want out of your database.

I suspect that the WordPress built in search would not find any data stored in your user profiles. So, you may need some other approach to make this information searchable on your site. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/additional-customer-fields-multiple-admin-emails-and-authorisation#post-133973 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 10:39:09 +0000 jarvis 133973@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks Chris,</p> <p>I think that helps with most of it. Basically, we're trying to extend/replace the current registration form which will have its own page. This form will collect far more than the default one.</p> <p>The client completes the form and once approved can then login. When they do, they need to be able to update any of the additional information that's collected on the new/replacement registration form.</p> <p>This information will then create a member directory site. Will the standard Wordpress search form pick up any new fields that we create? </p> <p>Hopefully, this helps with what we're trying to achieve? </p> <p>Is the 1.5beta available to the public too?</p> <p>Thanks again </p>
