My client uses the record ID as their Member ID, and we insist that members include it when they enter art shows on their site. We used to be able to display the ID within Amember 3, but now that I've upgraded to v4, it's not there anymore. Basically the record ID is data that's already been retrieved and ready to display in their profile; is it possible to add a read-only field in the profile form to display that record ID? What's the best way to do this? I can dig into the PHP code, but would upgrades overwrite it? Help! Toolie
What is record ID is that custom field which you created in amember CP -> Add fields? If so you already should be able to add brick for that field into profile form. Check amember CP -> Forms Editor -> Edit Profile form.
It's not a custom field, that's the problem. I'm talking about table xxx_user.user_id, the autoincremented field in the xxx_user table. That's the number we use for our member ID. Remember, I had a problem last fall when I discovered that a version prior to v4.14 was renumbering the records? I have since gotten that straightened out, but now I need to display that user_id within the interface. Suggestions? Like I said, I don't mind tiptoeing through code to make it happen. Just tell me where and when; I already have a custom theme for this site. Thanks, Toolie
Alexander THANK YOU that's PERFECT. That'll be about 20 fewer emails I have to answer per day...! Toolie
