I'm using the user registration add-on.
My client wants to capture lots of information here. Now, I want to create a Edit profile form, that has all the same values any help in the right direction would be appreciated.
I'm also using theme my login if there's anything can be done with that.
(I don't want to deal with all the other stuff inside the wordpress profile page... don't even know that would even be there :)
The User Registration populates the data mapped in the User Registration feed to the user's meta; however, it does not handle populating the user's profile with a UI for this data. You can add such a UI yourself by following this tutorial:

I Just solved this with the plugin "Extra User Details": http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/extra-user-details/. It is pretty straightforward, you just have to make sure that the plugin's "Meta Key" value corresponds to the "User Meta" value in Gravity's User Registration Settings.
Thanks for sharing Prime. That looks like a promising solution. :)
Once I have a custom registration process in place, is it then possible to create a second gravity form so that the user can edit all the same profile data that was created during the registration prodcess?
I have a client request where they need to use the CMS administrator features to both create and, later modify, extended user profiles. Hand coding templates isn't going to work in this situation for these guys. Thanks.
Hi dbsweb,
This functionality is not available out of the box. It is possible to repopulate user info into a form using the user merge tag (ie {user:first_name}); however, you would need to create some custom code to update the existing user.
I wonder if its practical to just loop through all the usermeta stuff and assume its all being updated?
That would be a safe enough bet since all of the values would be repopulated and one would assume resubmitted as well. The tricky part is getting a list of which fields correspond to which user meta. The best way to do this is to get the User Registration feed for the current form and loop through the meta there.
[php]
GFUser::get_config($form_id);The 1.5 beta version which was released includes the ability to update a user's profile.
