How to programmatically set values in Custom Post Type Multiselector

  • Having a hard time right now assigning multiple values to a Custom Post Type Multiselector field and couldn’t find any documentation.

    I’m using the xprofile_set_field_data function but for the value should I be sending an array containing the ID of the desired CPT? The title? Is that even possible ??

    Here’s a preview of what I have:

    // Get the current user's id
$user_id = $bp->loggedin_user->userdata->ID;

// Get the title of the current event
$event_title = get_the_title( $event_id );

// Retrieve the Events (CPT) the user has already signup to
$user_events = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Events', $user_id );

// Combine all the events and update the field
array_push( $user_events, $event_title );
xprofile_set_field_data( 'Events', $user_id, $user_events );

    Hi,

    “xprofile_get_field_data” is returning the post_title because of my plugin. My plugin is using “xprofile_get_field_data” filter to display data in a more human readable way.

    If you want to modify the content programmatically you should use “BP_XProfile_ProfileData::get_value_byid”:

    // Get the current user's id
$user_id = $bp->loggedin_user->userdata->ID;

// Get the ID of your field.
$field_id = 10;

// Get the ID of the event you want to add.
$event_id = 999;

// Retrieve the Events (CPT) the user has already signup to
$user_events = maybe_unserialize(BP_XProfile_ProfileData::get_value_byid($field_id, $user_id );

// Combine all the events and update the field
array_push( $user_events, $event_id );
xprofile_set_field_data( 'Events', $user_id, $user_events );

    This should work.
