Thank you for waiting, as this troubleshooting took longer than I initially expected.
On my test website, I was able to make this work, using the following steps:
1. For my temp post type, I add a checkboxes type field with slug "post-checkboxes" and for the users, added checkboxes type custom field with slug "user-checkboxes".
It is important to set the post custom field in a way that option titles are shown when the field is selected, using the "Show one of these two values" setting.
( screenshot: hidden link )
And these titles should also match the option titles used in the user checkboxes type custom field, in which you'd like to copy these values.
2. The "ts_checkboxes" function from the other thread only works for the post custom fields and not for the user custom fields.
For this specific requirement, I added another custom function:
function custom_checkboxes_copy_post_to_user( $user_id, $field, $options ){
if ( isset($user_id) && isset($field) && isset($options) ){
$field_settings = types_get_field( $field, 'usermeta' );
$field_options = $field_settings['data']['options'];
$meta = array();
for ($i=0; $i < sizeof($options); $i++) {
$key = array_search( $options[$i], array_column( $field_options, 'title' ) );
$keys = array_keys( $field_options );
$option_key = $keys[$key];
$meta[$option_key] = array($field_options[$option_key]['set_value']);
}
if(!empty($meta)) {
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'wpcf-'.$field, $meta );
}
}
}
This function accepts 3 parameters:
$user_id: ID of the user to which field value should be copied.
$field: Slug of the user checkboxes type custom field (without 'wpcf-' prefix).
$options: An array of option titles, which should be checked/selected.
3. In the last step, I used this new function in the function attached to the "cred_save_data" hook for user form, like this:
add_action('cred_save_data', 'populate_temp_data_to_new_subscriber',10,2);
function populate_temp_data_to_new_subscriber($post_id, $form_data)
{
if ($form_data['id']==5) // user registration form
{
$temp_post_id = $_GET['post-id'];
$post_field_options = types_render_field( "post-checkboxes", array( "separator" => ",", "item" => $temp_post_id ) );
$options = explode(',', $post_field_options);
custom_checkboxes_copy_post_to_user( $post_id, 'user-checkboxes', $options );
}
}
This function gets the target temp post's ID from the ULR parameter "post-id", gets the titles of all the checked checkboxes options from this post, and then passes them on to the "custom_checkboxes_copy_post_to_user" function.
