Re: Adding Custom Profile Fields

Alrighty, here’s the scoop:

I added <?php do_action('extra_profile_info_display', $user); ?> to my profile.php file, right above the second to last line, <?php profile_pages(); ?>.

In my template-functions.php file, I have the following:

function extra_profile_edit() {

//Globals

global $user_id, $bb_current_user,$bbdb;

// Get dA username, if it exists

$da_username = $bbdb->get_var("SELECT meta_value FROM $bbdb->usermeta WHERE meta_key = 'da_username' AND user_id = '$user_id'");

// Get the user's real name, if it exists

$user_realname = $bbdb->get_var("SELECT meta_value FROM $bbdb->usermeta WHERE meta_key = 'user_realname' AND user_id = '$user_id'");

// Input fields that have a default value of the set variable

echo "

<input

name="da_username"

id="da_username"

type="field"

value="$da_username" />

.deviantart.com

<input name="user_realname"

id="user_realname"

type="field"

value="$user_realname"

/>";

}

And now for the real meat of the thing:

function extra_update() {

global $user_id;

bb_update_usermeta($user_id, "da_username", $_POST['da_username']);

bb_update_usermeta($user_id, "user_realname", $_POST['user_realname']);

}

add_action('extra_profile_info', 'extra_profile_edit');

add_action('profile_edited', 'extra_update');

add_action('extra_profile_info_display', 'extra_display');

My apologies for the length of the post…
