Forced profile update

piotrnl · October 2014

Like the title says: is there a way to force registered users to (one time) update their profile ? Vanilla 2.1.

x00 · October 2014

to do what?

piotrnl · October 2014

I've installed the extend profile fields plugin and made some fields mandatory upon registration, I'd like existing users to update these fields aswell.

Put a message up asking users to do it?

Or do you want to remove their permissions until they do it?

How many users are we talking about?

I would just redirect to the edit profile page on signin - untested, as I'm not at home:

Base_AfterSignIn_Handler($Sender) {
    $Session = Gdn::Session();
    $Meta = Gdn::UserMetaModel()->GetUserMeta($Session->UserID, 'Profile.YourField');
    if ($Meta['Profile.YourField'])
        return;
    $Session->Stash('SetProfileField', true);
    Redirect('profile/edit');
}

ProfileController_Render_Before($Sender) {
    if (Gdn::Session()->Stash('SetProfileField'))
        $Sender->InformMessage('Please edit YourField.');
}

Thanks a lot ! I will try that. @hgtonight, I have about 1100 users. To get the idea: http://audi-a2.nl/discussion/3166/hallo-mijn-beste-a2-vrienden#latest I want the users to complete their profile because the added info shows up right after the profile-links. See link above.

@bleistivt I put that code into a plugin and it works more or less. Problem is in the Bootstrap theme I think. I get a sort of overlay with the settings after login. Is it possible to open the redirect in a new tab ? I experimented a bit with javascript but couldn't get it to work.

Instead of Redirect('profile/edit'); you can try echo '<script>window.open("', Url('/profile/edit'), '","_blank")</script>';

Add this after line 6 in what I posted:

$this->AddDefinition('CheckPopup', true);

or... scratch that and replace line 7 with this

$Sender->Target('profile/edit');

I can't test this right now but will later if it doesn't work.

Thanks all, did some testing:

$Sender->Target('profile/edit');

The "UserModel" object does not have a "xTarget" method.|UserModel|xTarget|

$this->AddDefinition('CheckPopup', true);

The "RedirectProfilePlugin" object does not have a "xAddDefinition" method.|RedirectProfilePlugin|xAddDefinition

The javascript solution produces no output nor does it redirect

@piotrnl said:

Is there any error message in the console?

Or is the html source of the "no output" simply the script tag? If that is the case try this: echo '<html><head></head><body onload="window.open(\'', Url('/profile/edit'), '\',\'_blank\');"</body></html>';

Not sure if I escaped everything right, though... If it does not work, please post the source of the blank page

it better to use a redirect becuase you can't guarantee you will be able to open a new tab or window. That is the sort of thing that can be blocked by a browser settings especially automated.

InformMessage is a good solution, if it not displaying properly this is a cosmetic problem.

Another solution would be to use on of the view hooks to display and info box

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();

$PluginInfo['RedirectProfile'] = array(
    'Name' => 'RedirectProfile',
    'Description' => '',
    'Version' => '1',
    'Author' => 'Bleistivt',
);

class RedirectProfilePlugin extends Gdn_Plugin {

    public function Base_AfterSignIn_Handler($Sender) {
        $Session = Gdn::Session();
        $Meta = Gdn::UserMetaModel()->GetUserMeta($Session->UserID, 'Profile.YourField');
        if ($Meta['Profile.YourField'])
            return;
        $Session->Stash('SetProfileField', true);
        Gdn::Controller()->Form->SetFormValue('Target', Url('profile/edit'));
    }

    public function ProfileController_Render_Before($Sender) {
        if (Gdn::Session()->Stash('SetProfileField'))
            $Sender->InformMessage('Please edit YourField.');
    }

}
