How to put a value from the registration form into a function
-
I want to consistently run function xprofile_sync_wp_profile() during registration.
As it is the function takes fullname data from the database when the user is logged in, so it can not be run during registration.
For a plugin that does what I need I’d have to take the fullname name value straight from the registration form, so I would have to change this line in the xprofile_sync_wp_profile() function:
$fullname = xprofile_get_field_data( BP_XPROFILE_FULLNAME_FIELD_NAME, $bp->loggedin_user->id );What should I put after = to get the fullname value from the form?
I’ve studied the bp-xprofile-signup.php file, but in the code the fullname value is part of an array (?) identified by field_id, which I know is ‘1’ for fullname, but there I get lost, way too complicated php stuff for me. Something like this?!:
$fields = BP_XProfile_Field::get_signup_fields();
if ( $fields ) {
foreach ( $fields as $field ) {
$value = $_POST['field_' . $field->id];
$field->id = '1';
$fullname = $value;Please help if anyone can. If I can figure this out, I can probably solve several other problems I have been boring you with for the last few months.

The phplist-dual-registration plugin also takes input from registration. It has this function:
function subscribe($input_data) {
if (!wpphplist_check_curl()) {
echo 'CURL library not detected on system. Need to compile php with cURL in order to use this plug-in';
return(0);
}
// $post_data = array();
foreach ($input_data as $varname => $varvalue) {
$post_data[$varname] = $varvalue;
}
// Ensure email is provided
$email = $post_data[$this->email_id];
// $tmp = $_POST['lid'];
// if ($tmp != '') {$lid = $tmp; } //user may override default list ID
if ($email == '') {
echo('You must supply an email address');
return(0);
}
// 3) Login to phplist as admin and save cookie using CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE
// NOTE: Must log in as admin in order to bypass email confirmation
$url = $this->domain . "admin/";
$ch=curl_init();
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
print '<h3 style="color:red">Init Error: ' . curl_error($ch) .' Errno: '. curl_errno($ch) . "</h3>";
return(0);
}
$post_data='action=subscribe&group_ids[]
'.$this->lid.'&email_address='.$this->email_id.'&firstname='.$this->name_id;Is the $post_data line what I need? Something like this?:
function subscribe($input_data) {
// $post_data = array();
foreach ($input_data as $varname => $varvalue) {
$post_data[$varname] = $varvalue;
}
$email = $post_data[$this->email_id];
$name = $post_data[$this->name_id];
}And then I could use $email and $name in my function to “do stuff” with?
Or can I use $post_data[$this->email_id] etc. directly? Is that the simple answer to my original question?
Why is the $post_data commented out?! Don’t I need it?
Do I need other pieces to make it work? For which fields would this work; only those from wp_users or xprofile as well? What about custom fields, including the real name/first name/last name mess?
