Hello,
from the "Profile Builder" plugin (cozmoslab) I created two new roles for users who register on my wordpress site and several fields, including billing data and other that the user fill during his registration process

Now I would like to read this data to insert it in a map that allows to find users with a certain role (e.g. clients can find doctors)

I tried to do this either by a new toolset view and a new user form but I can't able to reach this goal

Is there any way to do this?

Thank you very much

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

Toolset Forms and search field filters in views are designed to work with the fields defined through Toolset Types. As other plugins store their data in different formats/structures, those fields can't be used with these Toolset elements.

Is there any special feature that you find missing in Toolset and for which you're using the "Profile Builder" plugin?

regards,
Waqar

No, there are no specific reasons why I use the "Profile Builder" plugin. I just used it on other sites and it worked fine for my needs. But if I want to follow the way I started on this site, I have to switch completely to Toolset. Anyway, now my problem is solved. Thanks!

Hi Waqar,
in the user form page I found the notice in the attachment. This notice me that I can manage non-Toolset User Fields by setting field type and assign field attributes. Then I can use them in Toolset Forms.
In fact, now in the user form I'm allowed to use those fields
May is this a new feature?
Thank you very much

Thanks for the update and glad that you were able to make this work.

That option to include non-Toolset user fields is not new and I apologize for missing it from my earlier reply.

If you're able to use the "Profile Builder" plugin's fields through this feature, then it means that it stores its user fields data in WordPress standard way and you can safely update those fields using Toolset Forms.
