Fetch a custom field from the database

Hi @oguruma,

you can use the normal WP functions and prefix the key with “uwp_meta_”

or use the UsersWP own function:

uwp_get_usermeta( $user_id = false, $key = 'ADD_KEY_HERE', $default = false )

Let us know how it goes.

Thank you!

Just to make sure I have this

$current_user       = wp_get_current_user();
$current_user->user_email;

will get me the default WordPress user email meta.

$current_user       = wp_get_current_user();
$current_user->uwp_meta_mobilenumber;

Would get me the number from the UsersWP field I created (called “mobilenumber”)?

I don’t think that will work, but I haven’t tested it TBH.

I’d use this if I were in you:

echo uwp_get_usermeta( get_current_user_id() , 'uwp_mobilenumber', 'no mobile set' );

This is tested and should work just fine.

Let me know how it goes.

I don’t understand the , ‘no mobile set’ bit, what am I trying to do with this?

That’s the fallback string for if/when a user didn’t enter a mobile number. It’s just text, you can change that to whatever you want.

Hmmmm, so I have

add_filter('wpmautic_tracking_attributes', function(array $attributes) {
    $phone = uwp_get_usermeta( $user_id = false, $key = 'uwp_Mobile', $default = notgiven); //whatever is to retrieve the phone number

    $attributes['phone'] = $phone;

    return $attributes;
});

It’s updating Mautic contacts as “notgiven”, so I know it’s sending something to Mautic, however it’s not fetching the actual mobile number in their profile. Do I have the key right? I just named it “mobile” in the UsersWP form buider.

this is wrong:

$phone = uwp_get_usermeta( $user_id = false, $key = 'uwp_Mobile', $default = notgiven); //whatever is to retrieve the phone number

it should be

$phone = uwp_get_usermeta( get_current_user_id() , 'uwp_mobile', 'notgiven' );

To make sure you have the key right, simply click the “show advanced” button for your custom field. The field key will become visible and you’ll be able to verify it.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks

`add_filter(‘wpmautic_tracking_attributes’, function(array $attributes) {

$phone = uwp_get_usermeta( get_current_user_id() , ‘uwp_mobile’, ‘notgiven2’ );//logic to get phone number from UsersWP

$attributes[‘phone’] = $phone;

return $attributes;
});’

is still passing “notgiven2” to Mautic (I appended “2” to “notgiven” to ensure that the code was still updating Mautic after the change)…..

did you check the field key?

Ah, I got it working. I misunderstood. I thought I had to append the field key with uwp_.

The field key, when entered as-is will get the right UWP user meta. So, the correct code is

add_filter('wpmautic_tracking_attributes', function(array $attributes) {
    
$phone = uwp_get_usermeta( get_current_user_id() , 'mobile', 'notgiven' );//logic to get phone number from UsersWP

$attributes['phone'] = $phone;

    return $attributes;
});
