Added a whole bunch of custom social profiles for users (artists) to add…
Text input type.
For some reason when you click on the icons of the user (next to the default facebook, twitter, etc. ones), the base url precedes it…mywebsite.com/www.socialprofile.com/my_social_profile_name…
The social profile value should have http:// to make the link correct. This is not required for facebook / twitter fields tho, as I made some filters to automatically convert it to correct link.
See common-functions.php this function userpro_link_filter() for idea about doing the same thing for other social profiles. You can also use this in a custom hook that you do not need to update plugin files directly.
That hook allow you to change value BEFORE IT IS PRINTED TO FORM VIEW. e.g. if I want to change Male to “I am a Man”.. so the ide ais: just example, lets say we want to validate twitter field and pre-append the value with http, we can do this inside the function
// auto twitter
if ($key == ‘twitter’ && !strstr($value, ‘http’) ) {
$v = ‘http://’;
if (!strstr($value, ‘twitter’)){
$v .= ‘twitter.com/’;
}
$v .= $value;
return $v;
}
If key is twitter, and does not have http, we add it.. that’s all
add_filter(‘userpro_before_value_is_displayed’, ‘userpro_custom_hook’, 9999, 4);
function userpro_custom_hook($value, $key, $array, $user_id){
Okay, that’s a cool solution. In the meantime I have added placeholder http:// and help text “Must begin with http://”
which I guess does it too for now. 🙂
