In WordPress, I have custom registration site for new users. Upon registration, there is an optional checkbox to subscribe to our newsletter. As far as I understand it, it adds the value of the checkbox to the user_meta table (the whole thing has been coded by a company in India, which I woould very much prefer to not involve again, since they delayed their work time and time again and didn't do good work after all).
The corresponding code snippet in my child theme's functions.php looks like this:
<?php echo '<div class="form-row form-row-wide">
<input type="checkbox" name="inter_offers" value="yes"> '; _e('I would like to subscribe to the Kurth Electronic newsletter.','kurth-child'); echo '<br></div>';
return $fields; ?>
add_action('woocommerce_created_customer','adding_extra_reg_fields');
function adding_extra_reg_fields($user_id) {
extract($_POST);
update_user_meta($user_id, 'billing_inter_offers',$inter_offers);
} ?>
(I have left out lines irrelevant to this issue.)
Now, this value is saved internally, but not displayed to me. I would like to show the value in an E-Mail or notification generated by WordPress when the user completes registration, so that we can manually add them to our newsletter list whenever someone chooses to subscribe to the newsletter. The problem is that I only have a limited knowledge of PHP and I don't know where to start.
I should also note that this is not done via the standard WorPress registration form, but by a WooCommerce registration form (I have disabled the standard WordPress registration for security reasons).
I tried using the "Better Notifications" plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bnfw/) for custom notifications whenever a new user completes their registration, but it ignores any php code that I add to the custom notifications body to display the user_meta data.
Any help would be appreciated.
Because the registration is done via woocomerce you may have to look for a notification PlugIN that works with woocomerce, the one you have may just work properly with wordpress core version!
You also could generate a mail via php in the function, so that you get a message with the user mail adress, but i think without php knowledge it is not that easy to use the built in php mailer... (You may need an api there!)
But wouldn't it be better to automatically sign them into your newsletter software? For example for Mailchimp or other systems like that there are quite good wordpress plugins!
You may also be able to include the forms of these PlugIns in your registration form, but without a closer look at this woocomerce registration i can't tell for sure!
I think this will do the trick, it will notify you every time a new user is created and also tell you if they subscribed or not.
function new_customer_registered_send_email_admin($user_login, $user_email) {
ob_start();
do_action('woocommerce_email_header', 'New customer registered');
$email_header = ob_get_clean();
ob_start();
do_action('woocommerce_email_footer');
$email_footer = ob_get_clean();
$user = get_user_by( 'email', $user_email );
$subscribed = get_user_meta( $user->ID, 'billing_inter_offers', true );
woocommerce_mail(
get_bloginfo('admin_email'),
get_bloginfo('name').' - New customer registered',
$email_header.'<p>The user '.esc_html( $user_login ).' created an account ' . ( $subscribed ? ' and subscribed to the newsletter.' : '.' ) . '<br>Email:'.esc_html( $user_email ).'</p>'.$email_footer
);
}
add_action('new_customer_registered', 'new_customer_registered_send_email_admin', 10, 2);
I ended up using the plugin amr users to generate a userlist of all users who had a certain metadata tag set to a certain value (in my case, if they want to recieve a newsletter - the previous developers never bothered to make the data actually readable without extra effort). It is a little clunky to use and not what I originally intended, but it got the job done.

I am trying to create a function that matches user's that have the same expertise as a custom post custom field. So if a custom author meta has an expertise of 'Ninja' and the custom post type has a custom field that also has 'Ninja', my email will go out to all those matching user's.
I have the following bit of wp_mail code and can also create user queries using get_users but cannot get the two to work as i need. Any ideas?
add_action('future_to_publish', 'send_emails_on_new_event');
add_action('new_to_publish', 'send_emails_on_new_event');
add_action('draft_to_publish', 'send_emails_on_new_event');
add_action('auto-draft_to_publish', 'send_emails_on_new_event');
function send_emails_on_new_event($post) {
global $post;
$expertise = get_field('expertise', $postid);
$emails = MATCHING USER EMAIL ADDRESSES TO GO HERE;
$message = '<p>Email content will go here ...</p>';
if (get_post_type($post->ID) === 'custom_post_type') {
wp_mail($emails, "Email title will go here ...", $message);
}
}
Have you tried using SQL query actually to get matching emails from database??
something like
$sql = SELECT user.email FROM user WHERE user.expertise = $postExpertise;
$email = database->getRecords($sql); //getRecords() is just general function placeholder, build your own db processor class
...
function send_emails_on_new_event($post) {
...
}
You have to understand, WP is just a tool written in PHP with common functionality, if you want custom functionality, either build it yourself or if you are lucky, find plugin already created with similiar functionality. But you will not always find the plugin you want.
Hence why WP is good only for low-budget websites built by not so great web developers. Because if you can build custom functionality on top of WP, you should already consider if using WP is even good idea in first place
My issue: The client has 12 locations, each location is a different corporation hence a different PayPal account per business. By default woocommerce only supports one email to be entered to process the payment. The goal is to use one installation of wordpress / woocommerce then direct the user to the PayPal account associated with the location they have selected upon checkout.
My Theory / Attempt: originally I thought of implementing this feature by setting up a variation so the user can select a location which will then pass a parameter to the URL. The parameter would later be used within the PHP to overwrite the default email.
My Problem: I am having trouble with overwriting the default email that is entered within the admin settings, I cant seem to locate this email in the database. I am assuming the file pertaining this modification is located at: wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/gateways/paypal but would prefer doing this the wordpress way vs editing core files, for obvious reasons. After doing some research I have found the following action shown below, but this is for the proceed to checkout button, I am looking to interact with the proceed to PayPal button. I am fluent in PHP but not the best with WordPress development. I would think this is a popular issue since majority of franchises would deal with such a scenario, but I am unpleasantly surprised on the amount of information regarding this topic. If someone could point me in the right direction of conquering this task it would be greatly appreciated!
remove_action('woocommerce_proceed_to_checkout','woocommerce_button_proceed_to_checkout', 20);
add_action('woocommerce_proceed_to_checkout', 'change_url_to_checkout', 20);
function change_url_to_checkout(){
$extra_url = 'put_your_extra_page_url_here';
?>
<?php _e( 'Proceed to Checkout', 'woocommerce' ); ?>
<?php
}
I can see two functions to be written here.
1. To alter the order data when an order is created. This is where we save the email needed.
add_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_update_order_meta', 'woocommerce_checkout_update_order_meta' );
function woocommerce_checkout_update_order_meta( $order_id ) {
$email = 'paypal#location1.com';
// do something here as to use the right email.
// you have $order_id.
// can be used as:
// $order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
// $order->get_billing_address_1() to get the address to check order address.
// or use $_POST['location'] if ever you posted some data.
update_post_meta( $order_id, '_alternative_paypal_email', $email );
}
2. Then use woocommerce_paypal_args to alter the args that is being passed to paypal.
add_filter( 'woocommerce_paypal_args', 'woocommerce_paypal_args', 10, 2 );
function woocommerce_paypal_args( $paypal_args, $order ) {
$email = get_post_meta( $order->get_id(), '_alternative_paypal_email', true );
if ( !empty( $email ) ) {
$paypal_args['business'] = $email;
}
return $paypal_args;
}
To summarize, this is just an example. But these two hooks is enough to get what you need.
I'm a total noob at programming. I'm currently creating a website where a user can register.
What I want to happen is the following:
When the user registers, he/she will be added to my MailerLite subscriber list.
All the information will also be saved to my website's database.
I played around with the MailerLite documentation but I can't seem to get anything to work.
I installed all the libraries found here: https://github.com/mailerlite/mailerlite-api-php-v1#installation using composer then I created a php file with this code:
`
<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
$ML_Subscribers = new MailerLite\Subscribers("*my API*");
$subscriber = array(
'email' => 'first#example.com',
'name' => 'First name'
);
$result = $ML_Subscribers->setId( *my GROUP ID* )->add($subscriber);
?>'
but it appears to do nothing, once I submit the form, it will load the php file that I created and shows nothing, I check my subscriber list in MailerLite and nothing is added.
Please check what does the script return - add var_dump($result); in the end of the file.
And MailerLite doesn't accept "#example.com" emails, so be sure to change this
I have a problem that I am not sure how to fix.
I have a formstack form on my wordpress site. It allows people to buy a product. For this
particular page, there is only one item available for sale, so once the
form is processed (data sent to Formstack->Stripe and payment confirmation received),
the page needs to "turn off" so others can't purchase the item.
Before I used formstack, I used gravity forms plugin.
When the form submitted, I had a add_action filter in my functions.php in
wordpress. It fired when gravity forms completed the submission process and
ran a function that turned off the page.
Here is that code that worked beautifully.
add_action("gform_after_submission", "set_post_content", 10, 2);
function set_post_content(){
global $cfs;
$field_data = array('sold' => '1');
$post_data = array('ID' => get_the_ID()); // the ID is required
$cfs->save($field_data, $post_data);
}
I see formstack has a webhook function.
I cannot seem to find code on how to parse the data the formstack webhook sends. I used http://requestb.in/ to see the data that was being sent.
I believe I need to use php://input, but once I read the data, I am not sure how to say
If formstack webhook fires, then run this code
function set_post_content(){
global $cfs;
$field_data = array('sold' => '1');
$post_data = array('ID' => get_the_ID()); // the ID is required
$cfs->save($field_data, $post_data);
}
I also believe the code needs to be in the functions.php in my theme file because otherwise it won't understand the $cfs variable that is from another wordpress plugin.
I saw this new formstack function the other day - it sounds like it could solve your problem?http://support.formstack.com/customer/portal/articles/1444519-event-fields
Event handling options
When your Event has filled to capacity, you can mark the Event as "Sold Out" so new submitters will see the item is no longer available. You may also choose to hide this field on the Form once the items have sold out. Additionally, you can deactivate the whole Form when the Event has sold out; this is done through the Form Settings tab > General > Deactivate Form settings.
Going a bit mad here... :)
I'm just trying to add CCK fields from a Content Profile content type into page-user.tpl.php (I'm creating a highly-themed user profile page).
There seem to be two methods, both of which have a unique disadvantage that I can't seem to overcome:
'$content profile' method.
$var = $content_profile->get_variables('profile');
print $var['field_last_name'][0]['safe'];
This is great, except I can't seem to pass the currently viewed user into $content_profile, and it therefore always shows the logged in user.
'$content profile load' method.
$account_id = arg(1);
$account = user_load($account_id);
$user_id = $account->uid;
$var = content_profile_load('profile', $user_id);
print $var->field_first_name[0]['value'];
Fine, but now I can't access the full rendered fields, only the plain values (i.e. if the field has paragraphs they won't show up).
How can I have both things at once? In other words how can I show fields relating to the currently viewed user that are also rendered (the 'safe' format in 1)?
I've Googled and Googled and I just end up going round in circles. :(
Cheers,
James
Your content profile load method seems to be the closest to what you want.
In your example:
$account_id = arg(1);
$account = user_load($account_id);
$user_id = $account->uid;
$var = content_profile_load('profile', $user_id);
print $var->field_first_name[0]['value'];
The $var is just a node object. You can get the "full rendered fields" in a number of ways (assuming you mean your field with a filter applied).
The most important thing to check is that you're field is actually configured properly.
Go to:
admin/content/node-type/[node-type]/fields/field_[field-name] to configure your field and make sure that under text processing that you've got "Filtered text" selected.
If that doesn't fix it,try applying this:
content_view_field(content_fields("field_last_name"), $var, FALSE, FALSE)
(more info on this here: http://www.trevorsimonton.com/blog/cck-field-render-node-formatter-format-output-print-echo )
in place of this:
print $var->field_first_name[0]['value'];
if none of that helps... try out some of the things i've got on my blog about this very problem:
http://www.trevorsimonton.com/blog/print-filtered-text-body-input-format-text-processing-node-template-field-php-drupal
When you're creating a user profile page there is a built in mechanism for it. just create a user template file, user_profile.tpl.php.
When you use the built in mechanism you automatically get access to the $account object of the user you are browsing, including all user profile cck fields. You have the fields you are looking for without having to programmatically load the user.
I have a field called profile_bio and am able to spit out any mark up that is in without ever having to ask for the $account.
<?php if ($account->content[Profile][profile_bio]['#value']) print "<h3>Bio</h3>".$account->content[Profile][profile_bio]['#value']; ?>
I've tried themeing content profiles by displaying profile node fields through the userpage before and it always seems a little "hacky" to me. What I've grown quite fond of is simply going to the content profile settings page for that node type and setting the display to "Display the full content". This is fine and dandy except for the stupid markup like the node type name that content profile injects.
a solution for that is to add a preprocess function for the content profile template. one that will unset the $title and remove the node-type name that appears on the profile normally.
function mymodule_preprocess_content_profile_display_view(&$variables) {
if ($variables['type'] == 'nodetypename') {
unset($variables['title']);
}
}
A function similar to this should do the trick. Now to theme user profiles you can simply theme your profile nodes as normal.
