User registration 1.5 beta how-to

  1. I'm using User registration add-on for adding custom fields in the registration. It works fine. However, I'm not good at adding custom codes for showing user's data (including the custom fields) either in back-end or front-end.

    Recently, I found 1.5 beta was available. I think the new "Feeds" thing is for the purpose that I'm looking for. I then tried:
    1) duplicated my registration form (with all the registration fields) to make a user profile form, named as User Profile;
    2) added a new feed in User Registration -> New Feed
    Acton = Update User;
    Gravity Form = User Profile;
    3) added the User Profile form to a new page as Account Information in my wordpress

    Having done the above, the result is a blank page when I access the Account Information page.

    Can anyone tell me what should I do to achieve the displaying & updating custom user meta by Gravity Form? Many thx.

  2. Also, where can I found more info/documentation for how to map the feeds as mentioned in the other post http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/documentation-for-15b1 ?

  3. Can you share a link to the page which is coming up blank? Adding a Gravity Form to a page should not cause a blank page.

  4. I just found the cause for the blank page. It appears after I followed the guide in this post http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/disable-form-field#post-84676 and added the function to set my designated fields read-only in the user profile page. So I wonder if it is related to the filter type "'gform_pre_render'" or relates to css issue?

  5. Also, having tried for a couple of times, I found below problems for the beta version:
    Re Registration:
    1) PENDING ACTIVATIONS doesnt work. Pre-activate registrations can be made, but when i tried to activate the user account, it said: "There was an issue...User cannot be activated."
    Re User Profile:
    2) DATE field doesnt work in update feed; (no matter whichever date format I used in the registration feed);
    3) some FILE UPLOAD fields do not work properly. e.g. I have about 5 file upload fields in the registration, only 2 of them were displayed properly in the user profile;
    4) LIST fields also cant be displayed properly;
    5) all fields' values cannot be updated after I submitted the form.

    I'll send you the link of my site to test it, pls help to solve the above problems.

  7. Before adopting your plugin, i was using Approve New User for controlling user registration and activation. It works fine under Multisite environment and also fine with previous version of User Registration. May refer it to your team as reference, thx.

  11. Hi Marco,

    1) PENDING ACTIVATIONS doesnt work. Pre-activate registrations can be made, but when i tried to activate the user account, it said: "There was an issue...User cannot be activated." Re User Profile:

    I was unable to recreate this issue. Could you provide a WP admin and FTP access to your site to allow us to debug this further?

    2) DATE field doesnt work in update feed; (no matter whichever date format I used in the registration feed);

    I was able to recreate this issue and have made an update to fix this issue. I need to run this by the lead developer but will provide this fix to you as soon as it is approved.

    3) some FILE UPLOAD fields do not work properly. e.g. I have about 5 file upload fields in the registration, only 2 of them were displayed properly in the user profile;

    I tested with multiple file upload fields without issue. Are all the file upload fields set to be updated via the UR update feed? Only fields that are mapped will be populated.

    4) LIST fields also cant be displayed properly;

    This is a known limitation. Let me talk to the crew and see if we are intending to support this for update feeds.

    5) all fields' values cannot be updated after I submitted the form.

    Could you clarify what you mean by this?

  12. Dear David,

    Thanks for your prompt reply. We are very looking forward to your update.

    1) PENDING ACTIVATIONS doesnt work. Pre-activate registrations can be made, but when i tried to activate the user account, it said: "There was an issue...User cannot be activated."

    I'll send the WP Admin and FTP access tp you via this site's contact form, please check accordingly.

    3) some FILE UPLOAD fields do not work properly. e.g. I have about 5 file upload fields in the registration, only 2 of them were displayed properly in the user profile;
    
    AND 
    
    5) all fields' values cannot be updated after I submitted the form.

    Basically, i made a registration form with a number of file upload fields (e.g. Certificates and addresses proof copies). All fields were saved correctly which i can see them in Entries of Registration Form.

    Then, i created a user profile form under new feed -> update user to:
    1) Show all fields submitted by the user;
    2) let user to update their own profile in front end.

    I mapped all fields in registration as well as the update feed. But not all the file upload fields displayed correctly (some are missing). And at last, the user profile was not updated after i submitted the update form.
