The dreaded triple equal bug (===), that I found when researching fixes the GF directory form similar problems. When I changed it to == it fixed the GF directory problem, as well as the user update field population. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/new-update-to-user-registration-edit-feature#post-200133 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 14:38:41 +0000 Chris Hajer 200133@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I brought this topic to the attention of the development team so that someone can shed some light on these concerns for you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/new-update-to-user-registration-edit-feature#post-198907 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 13:04:51 +0000 novusweb 198907@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <blockquote><p>I think the thing that is getting lost is, HOW do I give the user the ability to edit his details?

However, the first name and the last name is displayed in the form but the username and passwords are not. I set the username as "{username}" and the password as "Preserved current password" in the feed. I'm not sure how the passwords work. Maybe they are displayed in asterisks but at least there is data. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/new-update-to-user-registration-edit-feature#post-198509 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 04:41:09 +0000 electricscribe 198509@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>And, like the register form gets auto-hooked into the WP user registration process, the update form should be auto-hooked into the WP user update process. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/new-update-to-user-registration-edit-feature#post-198004 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 20:13:01 +0000 Chris Hajer 198004@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The way you did it is how it's supposed to work. The fields should be populated with information from the logged in user's profile. If you provide links to your registration and update forms, we can test them out and see what's happening. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/new-update-to-user-registration-edit-feature#post-197984 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 19:46:32 +0000 electricscribe 197984@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I think the thing that is getting lost is, HOW do I give the user the ability to edit his details?

Editing your user details can be broken down by type (want to just have users edit their address?) Again, you wouldn't want to bring them to the survey to edit their account details. </p> <p>Yes, there are things we can do to make this whole thing more seamless, and we are working on it, but currently, the easiest way to give everyone the ability to edit user details through our forms was to add it the way it was added. Editing user accounts is a new addition to the add-on. </p> <p>I'm not the developer, and one of them might step in to give you more details. Also, I want to note that we are always working on documentation. </p>
