Custom Registration Fields ( a developer how-to )

How to set option values dynamically,
and how to set a default selected option value too.

Create this directory and file:
/wp-content/mu-plugins/s2-hacks.php

Code: Select all

<?php
/*
Setting options dynamically for Custom Registration Fields.
*/
add_action ("ws_plugin__s2member_before_custom_field_gen", "my_dynamic_field_options");
function my_dynamic_field_options ($vars = array ())
    {
        $_field = &$vars["__refs"]["_field"]; /* By "reference". */
        /* See: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.spot.php. */
        /**/
        if ($_field["id"] === "country_code")
            {
                $_field["options"] = "US|United States|default" . "\n";
                $_field["options"] .= "CA|Canada" . "\n";
                $_field["options"] .= "VI|Virgin Islands (U.S.)";
            }
    }
/*
Setting a default value for Custom Registration Fields.
*/
add_action ("ws_plugin__s2member_before_custom_field_gen", "my_dynamic_field_values");
function my_dynamic_field_values ($vars = array ())
    {
        $references = &$vars["__refs"]; /* Array of variable "references". */
        $_field = &$vars["__refs"]["_field"]; /* By "reference". */
        /* See: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.spot.php. */
        /**/
        if ($_field["id"] === "country_code")
            {
                if (empty ($references["_submission"]) && empty ($references["_value"]))
                    /* If a form was not just submitted. And, there is no default value. */
                    
                    $references["_value"] = "CA"; /* Set the default value. */
            }
    }
?>

I'm also attaching a video tutorial on this topic,
where I explain how this code works in great detail.

Hi There Jason,

I am having an issue with the Custom Reg. Fields now that I have upgraded my s2member.
I am not being able to edit my custom reg fields.

I have included a short 2min email video demonstrating the issue I am having ,

Thanks for you direction.

Hi. one more note...

When I updated s2m (following the update guide from this forum), I did remove the
`/plugins/s2member-logs/` and `/plugins/s2member-files/`.

which I figured was ok since the guide read in step 3:
"3. Login via FTP, and delete the entire `/wp-content/plugins/s2member` directory.
You can leave `/plugins/s2member-logs/` and `/plugins/s2member-files/`."

Also, the warning I get when I preview my registration page (http://youronlineguy.com/members/wp-log ... n=register) reads:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/gbpmxnig/public_html/youronlineguy.com/members/wp-content/plugins/s2member/includes/classes/custom-reg-fields.inc.php on line 293

I have viewed the contents of the .php file referred to but really am not sure what I am looking for or how to fix this.

Let me know if you need me to send you a copy of the /custom-reg-feilds.inc.php

Thanks again.

Thanks for reporting this important issue.
It sounds like you might have updated from a much older version of s2Member. There is a known issue with Custom Field configuration being lost when upgrading from s2Member v3.2.6 ( or lower ) up to s2Member 110604+. In order to correct this conflict, you will need to first upgrade to s2Member v3.2.7, save your General Options for s2Member, and then upgrade again to the latest release.

You can get a copy of s2Member v3.2.7 here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/download/

---

OR, you can just add these lines of code to the latest release of s2Member,
inside /s2member/includes/syscon.inc.php, at line #287.

Code: Select all

/*
Backward compatibility for "custom_reg_fields", which was re-formatted in v3.2.7 to a JSON encoded array of fields.
*/
if ($GLOBALS["WS_PLUGIN__"]["s2member"]["o"]["custom_reg_fields"] && !$options["custom_reg_fields"] && !is_array (json_decode ($GLOBALS["WS_PLUGIN__"]["s2member"]["o"]["custom_reg_fields"])))
    {
        $fields = array (); /* Initialize the new array of field objects. */
        /**/
        foreach (preg_split ("/[\r\n\t;,]+/", $GLOBALS["WS_PLUGIN__"]["s2member"]["o"]["custom_reg_fields"]) as $field)
            {
                $required = (preg_match ("/\*/", $field)) ? 'yes' : 'no';
                $editable = (preg_match ("/\^/", $field)) ? 'no' : 'yes';
                /**/
                if ($field = trim ($field, "^* \t\n\r\0\x0B"))
                    {
                        $fields[] = array ("id" => $field, "label" => $field, "type" => "text", "options" => "", "expected_format" => "", "required" => $required, "levels" => "all", "editable" => $editable, "classes" => "", "styles" => "", "attrs" => "");
                    }
            }
        /**/
        $GLOBALS["WS_PLUGIN__"]["s2member"]["o"]["custom_reg_fields"] = json_encode ($fields);
        /**/
        unset ($une, $editable, $req, $required, $field, $fields);
    } 

Hi Jason...
Thank you for you assistance!

--------------
Summary:
I re-upgraded via your v3.2.7 link and no change to my issue.

I then attempted to revise the syscon.inc.php file
My result generated this following message when trying to access my url:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/gbpmxnig/public_html/youronlineguy.com/members/wp-content/plugins/s2member/includes/syscon.inc.php:1) in /home/gbpmxnig/public_html/youronlineguy.com/members/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 897

Note: I am not familiar with code and would appreciate you assistance implementing this line of code.

Thanks again!

Thanks for reporting back.
I'm attaching a patched copy of syscon.inc.php for you.

* Please use this file with s2Member v110620.

Jason...

Thank you! Since I was still in the setup process, I also backedup my wordpress install and uninstalled/reinstalled wordpress...

Everything is working as it should be now.

You may have a JavaScript error, which could explain the problem in the Custom Registartion Fields panel.

Let me know if this video helps find it: http://www.s2member.com/options-page-di ... ing-video/

Hi guys

I have a question about being able to write to the custom profile fields after registration.

I am aware that is S2 member you can write/add custom capabilities after registration. But unaware of how to write to the profile fields.

My requirement is that I have a users on my wp site. One of the pages that requires level0 access, there is an call to an external database (done via PHP) to provide some data. My PHP sends some of the user profile fields in the PHP request packet and logs on the external database the WP username of the request...This all works fine.

What I want to do it put an IF loop in the PHP that essentially says:

Has this member already made a request to this database at some point in the past?
Yes > Don't execute DB request > return an error ("Data was already provided on 01/11/11"); or
No > Execute DB request > return data > Update profile field 'request' to true.

It's the updating of the request filed that I'm struggling with. I can't put the field at registration as the user doesn't know at that stage whether or not they will be making the DB request and also I would like to make the field invisible (and user uneditable) so they don't even know it's there.

To me this seems simple in logic but struggling to be able to find the option to write or create a new user profile field 'on-the'fly'.

Could this be done using custom capability?

I've tried to implement this as custom capability and my code works fine for adding user details to my database. However no matter what i do the parent IF statement always returns 1/true? I've tried under may different conditions with many different variations and nothing seems to change this?

Code: Select all



$user = wp_get_current_user();
$current_user = json_decode(S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_FIELDS, true);

//test to see if they already have the custom capability 'request'
if(current_user_can("access_s2member_ccap_request")){

 echo "You already have added your details to the database";

}

//if not then run the database request

else 
{
$prepost['action'] = "addUser";
$prepost['email'] = $current_user['email'];
$prepost['forename'] = $current_user['first_name'];
$prepost['surname'] = $current_user['last_name'];
$prepost['company'] = $current_user['type_name'];
$prepost['type'] = $current_user['user_type'];
$prepost['title'] = $current_user['role'];
$prepost['phone'] = $current_user['phone'];
$prepost['dob'] = $current_user['dob'];
$prepost['add1'] = $current_user['address1'];
$prepost['add2'] = $current_user['address2'];
$prepost['town'] = $current_user['city'];
$prepost['county'] = $current_user['state'];
$prepost['country'] = $current_user['country'];
$prepost['postCode'] = $current_user['zip'];

//traverse array and prepare data for posting (key1=value1)
foreach ( $prepost as $key => $value) 
{
    $post_items[] = $key . '=' . $value;
}

//create the final string to be posted using implode()
//print_r($prepost);
$post_string = implode ('&', $post_items);
//create cURL connection
//echo $post_string;

$curl_connection =
curl_init('http://**removed**');
//set options

curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)");
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
//set data to be posted

curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_string);
//perform our request

$result = curl_exec($curl_connection);
//show information regarding the request

$splitResult = explode('-', $result);

//The status is whether it worked or it didnt, can be 'False' or 'True'
$status = $splitResult[0];
//The message is what to display to the user
$message =  $splitResult[1];

if($status == 'True')
{
//If everything went well
echo $message;
echo "
Please check your email for your user details!
";

}
else
{
//something went wrong - tell the user
echo $message;


}
//print_r(curl_getinfo($curl_connection));

//close the connection
curl_close($curl_connection);

//now that they have added details to database, add custom capability 'request' so they are unable to run the script again

$user->add_cap("access_s2member_ccap_request");

} 

I guess your code look like decent & correct, you can use it anywhere you want !

You can create a custom profile field that has the Allow Profile Edits setting set to "Yes (editable after registration / invisible during registration)".

I hope that helps.
