I fooled with this for awhile but finally got it to work with a string replace.

It would probably be better done using php domhtml but I had trouble using the user_meta_form_display hook with it because the load($html) just returned the form and not the other content on the page, But without the user_meta_form_display hook I couldn’t even access the form $html. Neither could I see the form $html using the_content (wp codex) with or without do_shortcode. Good thing User-Meta has these hooks … thanks.

The problem with the string replace is that spacing inconsistencies in the html mess it up. That is why my initial attempts failed. But if you keep your string replacements small it can work once you figure out the spacing patterns. Regex was not necessary.

I used User-Meta to add simple html fields where I wanted my column divs to be. I show the string replace here in two steps. First step was to get ride of the spaces and consolidate the simple html divs. Second step replaced the simple divs with more complex divs having id’s and such for styling colums.

This worked:

add_filter(‘user_meta_form_display’, ‘add_wrap’, 10, 3);
function add_wrap( $html, $formName ) {
if ($formName == ‘may_form_name’) {
$orig = array(‘um_field_container” >1 </div>’, ‘um_field_container” >2 </div>’, ‘um_field_container” >3 </div>’, ‘um_field_container” >4 </div>’);
$rplc = array(‘trans”>str_1</div>’, ‘trans”>str_2</div>’, ‘trans”>str_3</div>’, ‘trans”>str_4</div>’);
$html = str_replace($orig, $rplc, $html);
$orig = array(‘<div class=”trans”>str_1</div>’, ‘<div class=”trans”>str_2</div>’, ‘<div class=”trans”>str_3</div>’, ‘<div class=”trans”>str_4</div>’);
$rplc = array(‘<div id=”col_1″>’, ‘</div><div id=”col_2″>’, ‘</div><div id=”col_3″>’, ‘</div>’);
$html = str_replace($orig, $rplc, $html);
return $html;
}
}

Couldn’t get the edit function to work.
The code in the previous post for adding the novalidate attribute is a mess of syntax errors…sorry.
Here’s a better version.

add_filter(‘user_meta_form_display’, ‘add_novalidate’, 10, 3);
function add_novalidate( $html, $formName, $formData ) {
if ($formName == ‘my_form_name’) {
$html = str_replace( ‘<form’, ‘<form novalidate=”true”‘, $html);
return $html;
}
}

Hello. I’m looking for the conditional logic in version 1.1.7beta1, but I don’t see it. Am I missing something?
I want to use it to give users the opportunity to add a small amount of meta data or larger amounts, as they choose, without having to clutter up the form with all the optional fields. With Gravity you can use a checkbox for users to display optional fields if they choose. This would be a great feature. 1.1.7beta1 works smoothly for me and the interface update is real nice….simpler. Thanks Khaled
