Hi Salim,
Thank you for waiting.
I was able to make this work on my test website, using the following steps:
1. In a custom post type "User Applications", I added these custom fields
- user-email (email type)
- user-first-name (single line type)
- user-last-name (single line type)
- user-created (single line type)
- application-status (radio type)
--- field options
-----Under Review (value '1', default)
-----Accpeted (value '2')
-----Rejected (value '3')
Note: The "user-created" will help in keeping track of whether a user has been created already for a particular "User Application" post or not.
2. Next, I created an edit form for "User Application" and only included the "application-status" field and the submit button.
3. After that, I used the "cred_save_data" hook ( https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_save_data ) and the "wp_insert_user" function ( https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_insert_user/ ) to programmatically add a new user, when that form is submitted with Accpeted (value '2') option:
add_action( 'cred_save_data', 'custom_user_author_update', 10, 2 );
function custom_user_author_update( $post_id, $form_data ) {
if ($form_data['id']==12345) {
// get value of field to check if user has been created already through user-created field
$user_created = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-user-created', true);
// if field value is approved and user is not already created
if( ($_POST['wpcf-application-status'] == '2') && ($user_created != 'yes') ) {
$user_name = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-user-email', true);
$user_email = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-user-email', true);
$user_fname = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-user-first-name', true);
$user_lname = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-user-last-name', true);
$userdata = array(
'user_login' => $user_email,
'user_pass' => NULL, // When creating an user, `user_pass` is expected.
'user_email' => $user_email,
'first_name' => $user_fname,
'last_name' => $user_lname,
'role' => 'subscriber'
);
// insert new user
$user_id = wp_insert_user( $userdata ) ;
// On success send new user notification to user and admin and update yes in the user-created custom field
if ( ! is_wp_error( $user_id ) ) {
wp_new_user_notification( $user_id, null, 'both' );
update_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-user-created', 'yes' );
}
}
}
}
Please replace "12345" with your actual edit form's ID and adjust the code as per your custom fields.
