How to add custom fields in member profile?

Hi,

I need to add 2 fields within the ‘Edit user’ page, only available to admins.

1) Date of the last payment received (we only take payments via paypal with full integration to s2member)
2) EOT (When is the membership going to expire?)

Can you guide me on how to do this?

Thanks,

Hi Marco,

You can create fields like this in Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Registration/Profile Fields by selecting the option No ( uneditable & totally invisible, both during & after registration ) under Allow Profile Edits: *.

Hi Bruce,

Yes, I know I can create a field using your method, however, how can I have s2member automatically populate these fields based on the date of the last payment received, which is information provided by paypal.

Hi Marco,

s2Member should automatically fill the EOT date field that is already generated by s2Member as soon as it is available.

EOT date is only available after the user has canceled a subscription, if you are using non-recurring payment styles, or if you have set an EOT date manually.

s2Member keeps track of the last payment recieved automatically. You can get this info using get_user_field('s2member_last_payment_time');. If you’d like more info about a specific user you can use the info provided in this post to get info directly from PayPal.

Hi Bruce,

In regards of

get_user_field('s2member_last_payment_time');

Where is this line supposed to go? can’t find the right file.

This code should be used in conjunction with a hack to automatically fill a form that you create. I recommend create a Must Use plugin my uploading a .php file to your /wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory (create one if you don’t have one)

You should be able to use get_user_option('s2member_custom_fields'); to get an associative array of custom field values for your user. Then, you can change the value for your field and update_user_option() to change the value.
