Display form rows in columns

Chad Butler · Oct 19, 2018 ·

This tutorial will address the common question, “How do I layout the form in columns?”

Let me say that this tutorial is one of those that is a “guideline,” not an exact science. That is due to the number of different variables that cannot be controlled. So for best chance of success, I recommend that you start with the basic process exactly as in the example. Try to reproduce that first so that you understand what it is doing before moving on to something complicated.

The following is a discussion of the the exact code snippets that I used in this demo (which also uses the code snippets for assigning placeholders to the fields and removing labels).

Force user to update data before using the site

Chad Butler · Dec 17, 2015 ·

This code example is similar in both the code used and the concept as what was outlined in Force User to Update Password from Randomly Set Password. The main difference here is that we are looking for the user to update required user fields that may not yet be complete.

This may be useful in situations where user data is imported into the site but may not be fully complete and you need the user to update (or confirm) their information before continuing to use the site. Continue Reading →

Add a Date of Birth Field with Dropdown Selections for Month, Day, and Year

Chad Butler · Mar 27, 2014 ·

I have received a lot of requests in the past for how to add a set of dropdown selections for date and store it as a single user meta value. This is a great example of using the new wpmem_register_form_rows filter hook, a new hook in 2.9, because we can use a single field in the WP-Members Fields tab for the date of birth to be stored as a single meta and use the filter to quickly change the placeholder field to a trio of dropdowns for date selection.

Note: this example requires a some php work, but like all of the examples here, I have tried to make it as “cut-and-paste ready” as I can. For many, this will work out of the box. For some, you may want to change the way the date is assembled and displayed (i.e. DD/MM/YYYY). I’ve tried to comment the code snippet as much as possible so you can follow what is going on.

Multiple Selection Checkboxes – Add A Section Heading (Advanced)

Chad Butler · Jan 8, 2014 ·

As of WP-Members 3.1.0, multiple selection checkbox support is an included feature in the plugin. That makes custom implementation such as described here unnecessary for most applications. I am leaving this post here however as there may continue to be users who (1) need a high level of customization that may utilize some or all of this kind of approach, and (2) for users who may not update to 3.1+ who need this support.

This tutorial is an extension of the tutorial on creating Multiple Selection Checkboxes. This tutorial will add a little snippet to one of the functions in that tutorial to show you how to add a section heading to your group of checkboxes.

The end result is to have a heading for the group of checkboxes, followed by the checkboxes with the label text to the right, much like this screenshot.

This is a slightly more advanced tutorial that the previous basic tutorial. You might try that one first.

While not overly complicated, I will work through the process step-by-step so that it is easier to understand what each section does. Continue Reading →
