Emailing reminder links

    Is there a way to email links to the Update Profile page to users after they’ve received them automatically from the system upon initial creation of their database profile? I’d like to be able to do this both individually (i.e. a member changes address or phone number) and as a whole group (or subset) at naturally occurring times in our year when members would focus on editing their profile information. Also, I’ve already restricted all of the content for viewing only when a user is logged into the site, is there a way to link the pdb profile to the wp profile so that a user can log in to the site and go directly to editing their own profile (through a menu option) without needed to get the link from the email? I’m using email addresses in both the wp profile and the pdb profile and the emails should match which could provide a “hook” for making this happen…

    Thanks.
    Allen.

    Hi Allen,

    There isn’t a built-in way to do this, you’ll have to put these email messages together manually and send them out. You can set up the admin list to show the Private ID with a link so you have an easy way to get the private link to send to people.

    For your profile link, you’ll need to write a function (you can put it in your functions.php or the template) that gets the private ID given the email address, then once you have that you can construct your link.

    For example:

    <?php
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$record = Participants_Db::get_participant(Participants_Db::get_record_id_by_term('email',$current_user->user_email));
$profile_link = '/user-profile?pid=' . $record['private_id'];
?>

    Thanks. I actually added this to my META menu. My preference would be to have just the code in my child theme files but I couldn’t figure out how to disable the regular META menu and replace it with this one simply by adding this into the functions.php file.

    It works great! I added a couple lines for if the currently logged in user’s email doesn’t match one in the PDB database.

    Hi Xnau,

    Do you plan on implementing an easy “forgot you id”-feature? Where a user can simply type in his or her e-mail adress, and receive a reminder by e-mail.

    It would be greatly appreciated.

    @oaiki,

    Yes, that is in the new release.

    Wonderful! When do you expect the new release to go public?
