Force User Field Registration

This plugin works as advertised. I’m very happy with it. Although, this is something that I wish the WP dev team had figured out a long time ago. Thanks for picking up the slack. This will improve the CRM features of my blogs a great deal.

Awesome! Exactly what I was looking for.

Hey, great and neat plug in. I do have a question:
If I want to add a check box for privacy policy and not let the user register without checking it, will it be possible to add it to your script? and if it is yes, what will be the recommended approach for that?
Thanks
Mor

Andrew,

The plugin is working as far as adding the extra fields… but it is not populating them into the users profile. The only extra fields that I am requiring are First and Last Name. But they are not being added to the Profile.

Any suggestions?

Fix: in function fergcorp_forceRegistrationField_updateFields, instead of INSERT INTO `kpipress_usermeta` use this:

INSERT INTO $wpdb->usermeta

Why not make the $optionsValue variable global, or put it in one function?

It would be nice if the WordPress team added a call to apply_filter in wp_login.php so that we do not have to edit that file each time we’re upgrading wordpress.

aloha!

Hi Andrew,

I want to use your plugin with WP 2.2.2 but I alway get this error message, if I want to register a new user on my blog:


WordPress database error: [Table 'XXXXXXX.wp_usermeta' doesn't exist]
INSERT INTO `wp_usermeta` ( `umeta_id` , `user_id` , `meta_key` , `meta_value` ) VALUES (NULL , '19', 'first_name', 'Hermann')

WordPress database error: [Table 'XXXXXXX.wp_usermeta' doesn't exist]
INSERT INTO `wp_usermeta` ( `umeta_id` , `user_id` , `meta_key` , `meta_value` ) VALUES (NULL , '19', 'last_name', 'Dobler')

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at XXXXXXX/wp-includes/wp-db.php:133) in XXXXXXX/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 341


Do you have any solution for this problem?

Thank you very much for your quick fix! It works fine.

Just a small improvement: It would be useful to change the tapindex to 30. Otherwise the order is messy if you use the tap-key.

Would it be possible to set with your plugin also the name which is used on the blog. Would be ok to have it automatic. I guess at the moment the nickname are used as default.

I’ve already modified my wp-login.php file, so my line 245 isn’t the default. Can you tell me what code should be infront and following your inserted do_action?

Thanks!

Hello, there is a little error on file.
On WordPress 2.3 if I install the plugin there is an error on line 84.
Replace <? in <?php on line 53.

Bye

I’m using WP 2.2.2

I go to http://www.XXX.com/wp-admin/users.php then check a checkbox of a user then I go down to check “Delete user” and click to “send”
Afterwards a white page with this error message appear.

I am wanting to add a select age field to the registration page? I used your php script to add an age text input field and it worked great. Now I am trying to make the age input a dropdown select field.

Thanks, Ryan

Nevermind, my browser was caching an old copy of wp-login.php. Sorry for the stupidity!

Great stuff. But how do I see the values entered by the users in the admin area? I can’t see them in the Users table or in the more detailed Edit User view either.

Yes, I did (line 253 in the case of 2.3.1.). Versions 2.3.1 and 0.5 respectively. Does it make a difference I have users in the table from before installing the plugin?

I’m trying to collect just a nickname, and a short reply to a short question. So these added fields should be visible in the Users tab in the Admin view?

I have Bouncer 0.82 (php4 version), User Permissions 0.6 and Role Manager 1.4.5 activated – not sure if these can have an effect?

Hi Andrew,

I was able to get my registration “age” drop down select field working.

I added

"age"		=>	"Age:"

to the knownFields array and modified the input to this:

<select id=”” name=”” value=”” class=”input” size=”1″>
Select
18-24
25-34
35-54
55+

I doubt I did this correctly, but the values post with the other user meta and all seems to work good.

I added this field to user_edit.php:

<input type="text" name="age" value="age ?>" />

and it works to display the value in the admin user edit page.

Thanks,

Ryan

Alright, thanks Andrew and Ryan too. Will try Ryan’s fix to begin with, but seeing your old code Andrew would of course be great!

Hello!

I am not sure what to do in my case. Here are my lines 237 to 254. How should it look after the change? What do I have to replace, what has to be how it is?

if ( $user_login && $user_pass && empty( $errors ) ) {
$user = new WP_User(0, $user_login);

// If the user can’t edit posts, send them to their profile.
if ( !$user->has_cap(‘edit_posts’) && ( empty( $redirect_to ) || $redirect_to == ‘wp-admin/’ ) )
$redirect_to = get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/wp-admin/profile.php’;

if ( wp_login($user_login, $user_pass, $using_cookie) ) {
if ( !$using_cookie )
wp_setcookie($user_login, $user_pass, false, ”, ”, $rememberme);
do_action(‘wp_login’, $user_login);
wp_safe_redirect($redirect_to);
exit();
} else {
if ( $using_cookie )
$errors[‘expiredsession’] = __(‘Your session has expired.’);
}
}

I am using WP Multiuser, my wp-login.php just has 316 lines.
Hope you can help!

Hi,

This looks like a perfect plugin but as far as I can see, it does not work on the MU version as you described.

Hi Andrew,

thank you for your support, I did the changes but nothing happens.
Maybe anybody find a solution for that because I like the plugin.

Thanks for your support, good luck in school!

Hi Andrew,

I was searching again and found this update today, really great ! I’m very happy with this, thanks !

Would it be possible now too, to add you own userfields that you can add to the plugin, have you tested something like that ?

Thanks again, really great !

Andrew,

You are a genius! this wordpress MU plugin is great and works like a charm. So simple to install also. THANK YOU

Hey andrew !

How things are going on the customizable user fields ? Were you already able to add some code to it ?

Regards,

Matt

Hello Andrew,

thank you very much for this plugin.
It is “almost” what I was looking for.
What I would like to see in the next release is also a check box stating that you have read the TOS (Terms of Service, Disclosure, etc.) in order to be allowed to register.
That is just a comment on something I would really appreciate to see on the next release.

Best regards,
Michael

Hi Andrew,

That sounds great to have such a plugin. It will be much more usable with other plugins indeed !

If yo talk about WordPress 2.5, will you also concider to make this compatible with WordPress MU ?

Thanks for your replies !

Hey Andrew. Is there any way to set a required value for one of the fields. What I want to do if possible is have a field for a invite key / passcode, which if it is not correct I do not want the registration to go through.

Let me know if you get the chance.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick response, Andrew. I put it in mu-plugins, and that does remove it from the plugins tab and it still works, but it still shows up for all users under the options section. I’m trying to figure out how I can remove that, and just set the configuration inside the file itself rather than pulling it from the form on the options page.

To set the configuration–the fields I want, presumably I have to set a variable manually. Is it this one:

$fergcorp_forceRegistrationField_mu_getOptions

Can you show me an example of how to assign to that? Does it take an array or a hash?

Many thanks. I have a deadline tomorrow, so I pray that you have a chance to answer today!

Hi Andrew,
Another question for you. Each of the fields has a corresponding hidden input field with an identical id attribute. Is there any way to change the way this works, because if there’s a duplicate of id values, then autocomplete won’t work on the page. And for a lot of input values on a registration page, you need autocomplete, because a dropdown is not practical for a larger selection. Autocomplete via something like scriptaculous requires unique IDs. Please help!

Thanks.
Jonas

Hey Mattz,
You can try something like this:

http://pastie.caboo.se/171354

That will put the field(s) on the user’s profile page.

Hiii,
I am having 2.5 version but it is not working in that. Please help…

Looks like there is a slight problem with 2.5. The form fields in the plug-in settings are not visible. I had set up this plugin before upgrading to 2.5 but if I needed to modify it or use it for the firt time, I would not be able to set it up.

I hope he updates this plugin soon. I noticed that the extra form fields are not updating in a new users profile. I thought the form fields we simply not visible but now the plugin is all but unusable with 2.5.1

Anyone able to use this plugin with the latest version of WP?

Works for me in 2.5 (I haven’t tried 2.5.1 yet).

I placed the hook ( do_action('fergcorp_forceRegistrationField_hook'); ) on line 184, just above wp_new_user_notification($user_id, $user_pass);

I suppose CSS issues could be causing the fields to not show under certain conditions.

Thanks for the plugin Andrew.

Whit are you making the changes to the fercorp_forceRegistrationField.php ?

I don not see the code you listed above on line 185.

Thanks for updating the plugin Justin. Looks like it plays nice with 2.5.1 now.

hi Andrew, i use this in mu it works on the register page, now how to get it show in the user page (get_option? is there anyway to hook in the user page? I had add a few field ie phone, and 2nd email.
tq

Hey i use this plugin on my site but i have a few problems with it. Id didnt have the same style as the other fields so i took your style code out and fixed the tab index thing, but even though the code looks exactly the same as the other fields on the page, it doesnt render it right. (check out my pages registration page.

Hi,
I am trying to install you plugin but i am facing some problem.
In admin it shows that it has been activated while in user section it don’t display.
Kindly help me its urgent for me.

Thanks
Devendra

I edited the code for the plugin to get the input fields to look exactly like the ones that WP provides — the ones this plugin generates don’t match. Within the tag input type="text" use this inline CSS:

style="font-size: 20px; width: 97%; height: 29px; padding: 3px; margin-right: 6px; margin-bottom:15px; background-color: #fbfbfb; border: solid 1px #dfdfdf;"
