Hello Everyone!

I have my forums installed and I am happy with it. Now I would like to add a checkbox to the edit profile screen..

I know in form-user-edit.php I can find the code that displays the fields, but can someone give me some insight into how this information is processed once the form is submitted?

I know that this hidden field holds the action name:
<input type=”hidden” name=”action” id=”bbp_post_action” value=”bbp-update-user” />

but after looking at the file bbpress\includes\users\functions.php, where that action is being defined I don’t see where I could add in the extra code to process the custom field if I were to add it.

I hope I am being clear, all I want to do is add ONE checkbox to every users edit profile page(where they change password/email), and save to user_meta… I know how I can add the field to the front end, but am unsure of how the data gets processed…

Thanks,
Anthony

See if this helps you. Same basic idea for profile fields. When you add a profile field it will show up in the edit profile section.

There is a checkbox in the edit profile section template that you can use as an example.
