Great, but not working with other plugins

  • YES, Finally someone did something about the poor and ugly user profile! I realy like the tabbed form, is very clean and simple.

    PROBLEM:
    Maybe I am overlooking something, but the plugin does not seems to work properly with other plugins I realy need, like:

    – Restrict Author Posting
    – WP User Avatar

    The user-profile settings these plugins normaly have, does not show up in the tabs. Hopefully the developer can solve this problem.

    So for now I have to de-activate the plugin.

    Kind Regards, wp-fred

    Hey WP-Fried,

    The plugin should work flawlessly with WP User Avatar, since I’m the main author of that plugin also. What issues are you having with it?

    For Restrict Author Posting (and just about any other plugin that adds settings for users) unfortunately WordPress doesn’t have the proper action hooks in place to even begin to take a wild guess at what plugins want to attach what fields in what place. This means a human needs to write some code to make that decision, and with only a few short lines of code, things are talking to each other.

    Hey John James Jacoby,

    The plugin does not work well with WP User Avatar, but it does work properly with your own plugin called WP User Avatars (=just one letter difference)

    So thank you for pointing me out!

    But unfortunually the plugin does not work with:
    – Restrict Author Posting plugin.

    Can this be solved?

    Kind regards, wp-fred

    Hey John James Jacoby,

    An alternative solution might be introducing possibility to show tabs based on user roles. So plugin could have admin dashboard / plugins / WP User Profiles / Settings-page. On this settings-page it is possible to select on which user-roles the plugin/tabs should be active. On the not selected item(s), the default wordpress user profile is used without tabs.

    Proposed solution makes sure clients, authors, editors, etc have beautifull user profile, while website admin can still edit all fields introduced by third party plugins.

    What do you think?

    Kind regards, wp-fred
