Creating a site when updating an existing user

Gravity Support Forums » Plugin Support » Gravity Forms User Registration Add-On

I'm developing a site which has a multi step procedure for creating a site on a multisite install. This involves having the user first create a user account, then create their site at a later date.

When using the Registration Add-On to update the user account, a network site is not created, despite having the option selected under the Registration Add-On's Network Options.

A network site is created when the form is set up to create a new user.

I'm using WP 3.5.1, Gravity Forms 1.6.12 and Gravity Forms User Registration Add-On 1.5.beta1

I'm using the following code to pre-populate the user's first & last names:
```
add_filter('gform_field_value_user_firstname', create_function("", '$value = populate_usermeta(\'first_name\'); return $value;' ));

add_filter('gform_field_value_user_lastname', create_function("", '$value = populate_usermeta(\'last_name\'); return $value;' ));

function populate_usermeta($meta_key){
    global $current_user;
    return $current_user->__get($meta_key);
}
```
I'm using this to change pre-populated fields to readonly:
```
<script type="text/javascript">
        jQuery(document).ready(function(){
            jQuery("li.gf_readonly textarea").attr("readonly","readonly");
            jQuery(".gform_wrapper .readonly input").attr('readonly','readonly');
        });
    </script>
```
Any ideas?

Thanks heaps,
Cam

I'll bring this to the attention of the development team for their feedback. Thank you for the information and sorry for the trouble.

I heard back from one of the developers today:

The User Registration Add-On only creates sites when the form is submitted. It is not designed to create the site when the user is updated. However, what you can do is use a WordPress hook that is fired when a user is updated and then call the GFUser::create_new_multisite() function.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for that.

Do you have / know of any documentation for doing this?

Thanks heaps

I don't. I did not look into WordPress to see what the hook name might be.

Hi Chris,

It looks like the best way would be to use the gform_after_submission hook, specifying the form used to update the user account, then use that to use the create_new_multisite function in the User Registration Add-On plugin. That would look something like this:
```
function create_multisite_site() {
  create_new_multisite($user_id, $config, $entry, $password);
}
add_action("gform_after_submission_5", "create_multisite_site", 10, 2);
```
I've searched the docs for how to use the create_new_multisite function, but info is very lite. Are any of your devs able to provide any details regarding what data / variables I need to be using with create_new_multisite() ?

I'm interested to know a solution for this as well. I'd appreciate the full code / instructions for implementation.

Thanks

I just tested User Registration beta v1.5.11 and this appears to be working fine. Logged in users can fill out a form to create a new site. Works nicely :)

Hello Cam,
I am working on coming up with a code snippet for you, but I am now not sure when the site is supposed to be created. Following are a few options I see.
1- An administrator updates the entry via the entry detail page
2- An administrator or user updates the user profile from WP's user profile page
3- User updates his information via a Gravity Form associated with a User Registration update feed.

Let me know which you are looking for and I will come up with something for you.

Hi Alex,

I'm using option 3, where a user is updating his information via a Gravity Form associated with a User Registration update feed.

This is for a professional membership site, where users (with a WP Subscriber account) must first apply for full membership and supply supporting documentation. Once Admin has approved their application they have access to a Gravity Form associated with a User Registration update feed where they can enter the details for their site name, url and agree with the T&Cs. Their name, username and email address are pre-populated readonly fields.

Thanks so much for your help!

I think the following will do the job. (Assumes that form ID 5 is your update profile form)

function create_multisite_site($entry, $form) {

    $user_id = get_current_user_id();
    $config = GFUser::get_active_config($form, $entry);

    $blog_id = GFUser::create_new_multisite($user_id, $config, $entry, "");

}
add_action("gform_after_submission_5", "create_multisite_site", 10, 2);
