Custom Validation to Elevate Account Permission

Hello @mhoc2022

If you have added custom validation to ‘partner access code’, you can just assign the user a new role after registration. Please check this code snippet for help.

Thanks for your reply,

So there is no way to automate the process with your plugin? It has to be done manually to upgrade a user role?

Or sorry. I am looking at the code now.

So if I make the partner access code “chocolate” and the user role “partner” for example:

add_action( 'um_registration_complete', function( $user_id, $args ){
		$partner_code = get_user_meta( $user_id ,'chocolate',true );
    if( $partner_code ){
    	/*
      	revalidate partner code
      */
      
      /* assign new role if partner code is valid */
      UM()->roles()->set_role( $user_id, 'partner');
    }
    
},30, 2 );

Is this correct? And the custom action in the form field would be “partner_code” ?

@mhoc2022 Yes, you can try the code snippet and see if that meets your requirement.

Does not seem to work. New user is still just a standard subscriber and not a partner. I think maybe I’m misunderstanding.

This is a separate code from the custom validation code? So I still need a custom validation code with um_custom_field_validation_partner_code in my functions.php for the custom validation? What would the code for this look like?

Hello @mhoc2022

Yes, it is separate from the custom validation code. The code snippet I provided will check for meta_value for the user once the registration process is complete and assigns the new role if the user has the metadata.

You can also try changing action priority to something like the below:

add_action( 'um_registration_complete', function( $user_id, $args ){
		$partner_code = get_user_meta( $user_id ,'chocolate',true );
    if( $partner_code ){
    	/*
      	revalidate partner code
        please add your codes to validate the partner code here.
      */
      
      /* assign new role if partner code is valid */
      UM()->roles()->set_role( $user_id, 'partner');
    }
    
},2, 2 );

@aswingiri Thank you for your help. I still am not getting the result.

I am putting this code into code snippets plugin in functions.php and it still is not working. Is this the correct location?

I do not have a custom validation code in my functions.php can you help with this? Or are you saying that it is not needed with the other code you provided?

Right now in UM I edit the registration form and in my custom form field “Partner Code” I set Validate as Custom Validation and Custom Activation as partner_code

In my user roles section of UM I made the new user role Partner but the user ID is um_partner

I want the code that new user to put into the Parter Code field to be “chocolate” so that they will become a Partner instead of a Subscriber account when entered.

Thank you for your time

Replying to see if there is any other help I can get on this topic. Thanks.
