New plugin – Usermeta

  • Hia.

    I’d like to announce my Usermeta plug-in, which provides an API for other plug-ins and themes to store meta information against users. It is beta.

    This plug-in is based on the postmeta facilities of WP 1.5 and uses a similar table format and set of API routines. According to the Wiki change notes a user meta feature will be part of WP 1.6, however I have not seen this so I don’t know if my plug-in is entirely compatible. (Any help on this would be great – I’d rather not call this plug-in stable until I know I’ve got that right.)

    Basically, the purpose of this plug-in is to associate name/value pairs against user ids and be able to retrieve them later.

    Hope someone finds this useful.

  • o yea, just so you know, it’s called userextra2.php cos i renamed it in my ftp so i could login to admin, then activated it again so as to show the message

    So is there a way to have this extra fields in the user profile admin pages, so they don’t have to fill in data in 2 seperate places? The extra fields added from this plugin will just flow on after the current ones under user > your profile?

    I have to agree with moshmoney there. For one hell of a useful plugin usermeta/userextra has abysmal support for newbies.

    I know some php but I still couldn’t make any sense of the example given above.

    I want to make distinct profile pages open to public with selective information. For instance:
    author name:
    website:
    favourite films:
    favourite quotations:
    etc…

    On the previous page I want a list of all authors to lead to this page. For example:
    Authors:
    – John (See complete profile)
    – Jane (See complete profile)
    – Tarzan (See complete profile)
    etc..

    Can someone spell this out, pleaseeeee.
