I’d use a custom table for this. Otherwise you’d have to have a lot of custom post types posts containing very little information. Your own table is easier to manipulate (and, god forbid, export should you want to use another high score solution).
Buddypress will probably help you too. I guess you’ll want your community members to interact? Also just search the wordpress.org plugins repository, for “membership” or “members” plugins to compare with. The plugin “s2member”, for example, is very popular.
I think some user stuff changed in 3.2 and perhaps user meta works a bit differently now… function do_stuff( $user_id ) { $first_name = get_user_meta( $user_id, ‘first_name’, true ); $last_name = get_user_meta( $user_id, ‘last_name’, true ); echo $first_name . $last_name; } add_action( ‘user_register’, ‘do_stuff’ );
This is how I did it : function if_restrict_categories($categories) { global $current_user; $a = get_cat_if_user($current_user->ID); $onPostPage = (strpos($_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’], ‘edit-tags.php’)); if (is_admin() && $onPostPage && !current_user_can(‘level_10’)) { $size = count($categories); for ($i = 0; $i < $size; $i++) { if($categories[$i]->parent != $a && $categories[$i]->term_id != $a){ unset($categories[$i]); } } } return $categories; } add_filter(‘get_terms’, ‘if_restrict_categories’); And … Read more
You don’t need to know the user’s timezone, because time since the post was published is independent of timezone. WordPress sets your timezone to UTC so that internally, all dates are dealt with the same and consistent timezone. You should avoid using php functions, and instead use the WordPress provided functions. Incidently, human_time_diff() does exactly … Read more
When you have that much code to output concatenating it into one string like that makes it very difficult to read for others and yourself, also, to debug when things go wrong. Try this method for concatenating your output, $blogusers = get_users(‘role=contributor&orderby=display_name’); foreach ($blogusers as $user) { $name = $user->display_name; $url = get_author_posts_url($user->ID, $author_nicename); $class … Read more
To test if a user is logged in use is_user_logged_in(). To redirect a visitor use wp_redirect($location, $status = 302). You can combine both: <?php $location = ‘http://localhost’; if ( is_user_logged_in() ) $location = admin_url( “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/” ); wp_redirect( $location ); In JavaScript (sort of): add_action( ‘wp_footer’, ‘wpse_73701_button’ ); function wpse_73701_button() { $location = is_user_logged_in() ? admin_url( … Read more
get_currentuserinfo(); if ( $current_user->ID === <ID of user to isolate>) { // user specific code } http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo That is a very general solution. There may be other/better solutions but you didn’t provide much information about what you are trying to accomplish.
You’re outside the loop, so you should supply a user ID: get_the_author_meta( ‘twitter’, $user->id )
You appear to be checking for variables that aren’t set. You set $selected $selected = get_the_author_meta( ‘user_top’, $user->ID ); But then you check for something called $topselected <select name=”user_top” id=”user_top”> <option value=”gotguns” <?php echo ($topselected == “gotguns”)? ‘selected=”selected”‘ : ” ?>>I got guns</option> The same thing happns with $middleselected and $bottomselected I think your problem … Read more
