Using the plugin for light weight user meta options?

    I use this plugin for all kinds of unique options. The support has been great!

    I wanted your opinion about using the date picker for WordPress users but only viewable as a subscriber but maintained by the admin. If I understand things correctly would that have to be setup as a repeatable field, or not since each member has its own unique id?

    I want to be able to manage when a user has signed up for a simple membership that doesn’t take place on the site, the user wouldn’t fill out any forms or anything. Basically they can view their active/inactive membership status if they were to login, but more importantly for admins to use as a quick glance if they’re membership is expired or not.

    Would this be a great plugin to continue to use for this very simple functionality? There are all kinds of other membership plugins. But they’re for newsletters or privileges to specific content. This situation is not like either of those.

    Thanks – Clayton

    Holy smokes that was awesome, thank you for the code! I am kind of confused by the control of the user roles. I see ‘manage_options’ – if I change it to ‘read’ which is the lowest role capability it wont display. I don’t think I will use that of course. But trying to wrap my head around that part.

    Thank you again for the wonderful help using this plugin in so many ways!

    “read” would have it show up for everyone because everyone has that capability. You need to go to a higher level with capabilities to hide from those who shouldn’t be able to set/change it.

    My last post answers your 2nd to last one, where we get the current displayed user object passed in and can fetch the appropriate meta value.

    Still had to separate out it out to make it work and function better so there will be the slight disconnect between the $prefix variable, but that won’t be changing.

    Never mind that question, I am blind and ‘manage_options’ is in two places! Thanks again, I will be extending on this a little bit, and adding an address field.
