Auto-approve w/ promo code

Hi @kylepflueger

What custom code do you have so far? Can you please share it here so we can review it?

Regards,

Thanks for the quick follow up @champsupertramp. Please see below

add_action( 'um_post_registration_pending_hook', 'function_name', 10, 2 );
function check_for_promo_code( $user_id, $args ) {
    um_fetch_user( $user_id );
    $promo_codes = array('ecss_amp', 'ECSS_AMP');
    $user_promo = um_user('promo_code');
    if (in_array($user_promo, $promo_codes )) {
    	$ultimatemember->user()->approve();
    } else {
        $ultimatemember->user()->pending();
    }
}

@champsupertramp I was able to get the approval portion working using this code below:

add_action( 'um_post_registration_pending_hook', 'check_for_promo_code', 10, 2 );
function check_for_promo_code( $user_id, $args ) {
	global $ultimatemember;
  	um_fetch_user( $user_id );
    $promo_codes = array('ecss_amp', 'ECSS_AMP');
    $user_promo = um_user('promo_code');
    if (in_array($user_promo, $promo_codes )) {
		um_fetch_user( $user_id );
    	UM()->user()->approve();
    } else {
		um_fetch_user( $user_id );
    	UM()->user()->pending();
    }
}

However, I am unable to successfully set the users role within that same function. I am trying to use the set_role() method as such:

add_action( 'um_post_registration_pending_hook', 'check_for_promo_code', 10, 2 );
function check_for_promo_code( $user_id, $args ) {
	global $ultimatemember;
  	um_fetch_user( $user_id );
    $promo_codes = array('ecss_amp', 'ECSS_AMP');
    $user_promo = um_user('promo_code');
    if (in_array($user_promo, $promo_codes )) {
        um_fetch_user( $user_id );
        UM()->user()->set_role('role_name_is_here');
    	UM()->user()->approve();
    } else {
        um_fetch_user( $user_id );
    	UM()->user()->pending();
    }
}

Does this need to be handled in a separate filter or action? Any tips are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi @kylepflueger

Try using the code snippet to add a user role:

if ( in_array($user_promo, $promo_codes ) ) {
     $u = new WP_User( $user_id );
     // Add role
     $u->add_role( 'role_name_is_here' );
}

Regards,
