[Resolved] CRED user form to include WPUser Avatar field

I have a CRED New User form that, on submit, creates both the new WP User and a new Custom Post of type 'team'.
I am using the WP User Avatar plugin which stores a Media Post ID in the wp_usermeta table.

I need a field in my CRED form to allow the uploading of an Avatar image. To do this I tried creating a custom User field for the image upload, with the intention of copying the value and updating the user meta with it but I can't get it to work.

I tried following the instruction here: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/passing-a-value-from-a-cred-form-to-another-field/ but nothing seems to be saving.

Here are the relevant lines of my code:

add_action( 'cred_save_data', 'team_save_data_action', 10, 2 );
function team_save_data_action( $post_id, $form_data ) {

if ( $form_data[ 'id' ] == 159 ) {

if (isset($_POST['wpcf-user-image']))
{
// get the ID of the uploaded image
$imageid = url_to_postid( $_POST[ 'wpcf-user-image'] );
// add it to saved post meta
add_user_meta($post_id, '_wp_user_avatar', $imageid, true);
}
}
}

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - could you please share the problem URL where you added the CRED form?

Please note that I am also having SMTP issues so no emails are sending (just incase you're wondering why you don't get a welcome email when testing the form)

Well - here is the final code that works perfectly - the issue is you were using wrong user meta key _wp_user_avatar , the correct meta key is wp_user_avatar (without first letter as underscore _ ):

And another issue is wrong function and I query the guid and get the post id based on guid.

// 2. Get User Avatar from custom field
		
		// didn't work --> $imageid = url_to_postid( $_POST[ 'wpcf-user-image'] );
		// didn't work --> update_user_meta( $_POST, 'wpcf-user-image-id', $imageid );
		// didn't work --> update_user_meta( $_POST, 'wp_user_avatar', $imageid );
		
		if (isset($_POST['wpcf-user-image']))
        {
			// get the ID of the uploaded image
			//$imageid = url_to_postid( $_POST[ 'wpcf-user-image'] );
			global $wpdb;
			$imageid = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE guid=%s",$_POST[ 'wpcf-user-image']) );
            // add it to saved post meta
            update_user_meta($post_id, 'wp_user_avatar', $imageid);
        }

I can see its working - could you please confirm.

Hi guys,

Trying to apply this script to my CRED Form

I created a user field as image with slug "immagine-del-profilo"

but can't get the $imageid from the query $wpdb->get_var()

$imageid = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE guid=%s", $_POST['wpcf-immagine-del-profilo']) );

the value of "$_POST['wpcf-immagine-del-profilo']" return only the filename, not the full url of image and the query return null.

Any suggestion?

Thank you
