Set checbox value with xprofile_set_field_data

Hi, so I want to give new users the ability to register for a newsletter with a checkbox.
When I change the checkbox to a text box field in both my form and buddypress everything works just fine.

$newsletter is either ‘true’ or ‘false’.
Line of code:
$meta_update = xprofile_set_field_data( ‘7’, $user_id, $newsletter);

In Buddypress profile fields I added
Field Title: ‘Newsletter’
Required?: Not required
Field Type: checkboxes
sort order: custom
‘Yes, I want to receive a newsletter’ and ‘default value’ not checked

When registering a new user with a checked checkbox the checkbox on the new user profile page stays unchecked.

Any thoughts?

Did you ever figure this out?

I can’t seem to save checkbox info with xprofile_set_field_data

I tried serialize($field_value) but nothing.

Any other ideas?

Nope 🙁
Any help is still appreciated.

Maybe read here, the post and all the comments:

Got it 🙂

All you need is the value of the checkbox.
<input id="nieuwsbrief" type="checkbox" value="newsletter"
You can find/set this value in the users –> profile fields page

Then just set the value of $newsletter to ‘newsletter’ when the box is checked or any other value if it’s not and use:
$meta_update = xprofile_set_field_data( '<em>name or id of field</em>', $user_id, $newsletter);

Glad to answer any questions
