Enhancement for Multisite User Meta Import

@rhapsody348,

It can be exciting, but the development would be complex and only solve problems for people who use multisite (which are not the majority).

Maybe create some custom addon can be the solution but it would take some time.

Thanks – I understand Javier.

I’ve posted a solution that was added to my plugin to accommodate two fields ‘allposts’ and ‘corecrew’. These fields are included on an import template provided to multisite admins for importing users on their sites. It also incorporates an action button at the bottom of the page displayed after import. I am using the shortcode [acui_import] from your plugin to provide the import page.

The solution below may help other multisite users.

// this is triggered after acui import and displays the refresh page button
/******************************************************************
 * function cm_acui_add_message( ) hooks the import plugin 
 * after acui import and forces a users cache update,
 * fixes global allposts and corecrew to local and 
 * displays the refresh page button
*******************************************************************/
if (isset($users_created) || isset($users_updated) || isset($users_deleted) || isset($users_ignored)) do_action( 'acui_after_import_users', $users_created, $users_updated, $users_deleted, $users_ignored );

add_action( 'acui_after_import_users', 'cm_acui_add_message', 10, 4);

function cm_acui_add_message( $users_created, $users_updated, $users_deleted, $users_ignored ) { 
// this is the cache control for user query
	cm_cache_control($key = 'ID', $group = 'users', $force_flush = TRUE); // clear the cached user data to force a new query; // clear the cached user data to force a new query

// loop through the new users users imported and update 'corecrew' and 'allposts' to local
foreach ($users_created as $user_id) {
$status = delete_user_option( $user_id, 'allposts', TRUE); // deletes if set global on import, data will be saved locally
  ($status) ? update_user_option( $user_id, 'allposts', 'yes', FALSE ) : delete_user_option( $user_id, 'allposts', FALSE); // saves local

$status = delete_user_option( $user_id, 'corecrew', TRUE); // deletes if set global on import, data will be saved locally
  ($status) ? update_user_option( $user_id, 'corecrew', 'yes', FALSE ) : delete_user_option( $user_id, 'corecrew', FALSE); // saves local
}

$refresh_message = '<br><br><b>Click</b> <input type="button" value="Refresh Page"  title="Refresh Page to display Import File Chooser"  onClick="window.location.href=window.location.href"><b> after reviewing imported data to restore the Crew Import file chooser, or navigate to another page if done</b>';

echo $refresh_message;
}

Thanks for sharing the code.

But this is a custom code for you, this use cm_cache_control and other metas like allposts and corecrew that are not from WordPress core standard.

Anyway thanks for it and I will try to make possible the multi site functionality in the future.

Yes – you are correct that the cache control is my own and not needed for others. The coreposts and allcrew are custom fields that are used on my sites. I hard coded these fields to make this work for my application as indicated in my original post.

A long term solution for the proposed enhancement would be to provide logic that accommodates any custom fields added by a user so these fields may be selected as global or site specific for import on multisite installations.

Your plugin is already excellent with many features. The shortcodes provide flexibility for advanced users. Thanks for all the support!
