View Profile by ID

[visualharmony]

How can I display profile info on certain pages by ID? I am wanting to create a publicly visible page for each of my users so that customers can get their information easier.

I also asked another question a few days ago that hasn’t gotten any responses (http://user-meta.com/forums/topic/multiple-file-uploads-problem/). I paid for the PRO version and I need support. Please help somebody!

Thanks!

I figured out how to pull in the data from the custom user meta fields by ID. Here’s an example on how I pulled in a new meta field for Company Name.


// set this to whatever user's info you want to display on the page or remove it and send this value through the URL instead
$user_id = '1';
// set single argument to true
$single = true;
// get the company name and assign to a variable
$jam_get_company_name = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'company-name', $single );

Hello, By User Meta plugin you can use your existing profile form to show public profile.

Use shortcode:
[user-meta type=”public” form=”Your_Form_Name”]

and you need to send user_id parameter as GET request through the url (e.g. http://example.com/profile?user_id=2)

Thanks.

Hello and thanks for the reply.

I tried using the type=”public” shortcode, but it was still showing an editable form for some reason. I didn’t want random visitors to the site to be able to edit profiles, only view them. I am able to do this now using code similar to the example code I posted above to pull the data and a custom template I am building to display that data.

Thanks!

When you use type=”public”, then “Update” button suppose to disappear, so random use won’t edit the information. BTW, you can add html field and write your own html to populate user public profile. and you can use placeholder(e.g %user_login%) for retrieving user data into html fields.
Thanks.
