Boost RegistrationMagic User Profiles With ProfileGrid Integration

Learn How To Boost WordPress User Profiles With ProfileGrid Integration

RegistrationMagic is built from the ground up for creating and processing registration and login forms on a WordPress site. In addition to that, it offers a front-end private user area, for your site users to view (or edit if allowed), submitted forms, and other related information. But if you wish to take it a step further – to offer your registered users the option to build public or selectively public profiles, interact with fellow users, offer membership with content restrictions, etc. – RegistrationMagic has a free companion plugin, ProfileGrid, that does all this and more. When installed alongside RegistrationMagic, ProfileGrid serves as its dedicated extension, adding an extra dimension to RegistrationMagic’s WordPress User Profiles capabilities. Here’s a quick rundown of what you can do:

 

User Profile Pages

RegistrationMagic publishes a front-end user area using a special shortcode. Also, this is a private area, only accessible to currently logged in user. When you install ProfileGrid, its own user profile pages take over, and RegistrationMagic’s user area is neatly tucked into the private section of ProfileGrid’s beautifully rendered user profile pages. Moreover, all this happens automatically. It means you do not need to modify anything. ProfileGrid simply uses RegistrationMagic’s existing front-end shortcode and turns it into WordPress user profiles. Also, ProfileGrid even gives you the option to show/hide or rename RegistrationMagic’s user area tabs. To do this, just go to ProfileGrid—> Global Settings —> RegistrationMagic Integration

Profile Images

RegistrationMagic fetches user profile images from Gravatar – which is part of the WordPress family of services. But if the user does not have a Gravatar profile, it is replaced by a generic placeholder image. Too many of them and things can start looking a little drab. Moreover, being a user profile plugin first, ProfileGrid allows your users to upload their own profile and cover images. It Is a robust system where you can define upload sizes from the dashboard and set default images for both user profile and cover. Further, on the front-end, users can crop and pan their uploaded photos. These photos automatically show inside RegistrationMagic replacing Gravatar and placeholder images.

Content Restrictions

If you are planning to offer content based memberships to your users, ProfileGrid adds group registration based tiers and even allows users to submit and share content selectively. Also, this feature ties in with default WordPress posts and pages seamlessly allowing you granular content-based access.

User Activity Features

ProfileGrid comes with multiple user networking features like Friends System, In-Profile Notifications, Private Messaging, etc. Further, all these features become instantly available to your users through their revamped profile pages as soon as you install ProfileGrid.

Group Activities

User Groups

ProfileGrid uses a novel group-based user registration system. These groups offer powerful features for user management and moderation. If you are registering users for clubs, teams, factions, etc., these can prove quite handy. You even have the option to assign and label managers to each group who have a separate set of capabilities.

Of course, the integration is not one-sided. RegistrationMagic adds powerful features to ProfileGrid’s native system.

I have the Pro version of RegistrationMagic and the free version of ProfileGrid. My RegistrationMagic registration form asks the user to choose their desired MailPoet newsletters from a checkbox list. How can I display these choices in the user’s profile on ProfileGrid, so they can view/update their selections (subscribe to additional newsletters or unsubscribe)?

Hi,

Is there a way when filling out the biographical info through registration magic, to automatically pull that onto the Profile Grid profile for the user registering? Specifically, I would like it to pull to the profile grid about me page.

Kindly map the Biographical Info field of ProfileGrid group with RegistrationMagic bio field and also enable the option “display on profile page” in ProfileGrid field setting.

Hi Ann,

You will be required to install and activate the ProfileGrid’s extension “MailPoet Integration” on your site and then to enable the “MailPoet” newsletter in a profile, you need to activate the “Enable MailPoet” option and the “Enable MailPoet Tab” option. These settings can be found under “Group Options >> MailPoet” for a group. Once you enable this configuration, members of that group will see the “Newsletter” tab under the “Settings” tab on their profile page.

Hi,
my scenario is:
1. the user has to complete profile data upon registration to get his/her credential access to the site.
2. at the specific event/project (woo-commerce product), a user has to make a signature (agree) to the respective agreement-form, so the product will belong to her/his. This product only available for logged-in registered user.
3. at the agreement-form, I want to show specific user personal data before the signature field to review. I mean, before the signature field, it shows , , , , etc to be reviewed to make sure that he is the correct user.

my questions are:
1. Is “RegistrationMagic” (RM) able to get/read the user records to achieve my #3 scenario?
2. Is RM provide shortcodes?

Thank you.

Requirement #3 cannot be achieved through RegistrationMagic i.e.first reviewing the form and then show signature field.
Yes, RegistrationMagic provides shortcodes for different functionalities. Refer to the following path to check them:
Go to RegistrationMagic-> Dashboard of the form-> scroll down and you will find different options/shortcodes like User Directory, User Area under “Publish” section. You may click on the particular option and see the shortcode.

Can you explain how integration between RegistrationMagic user profile and ProgileGrid works?
I created 2 roles in RegistrationMagic with each its own registration form. I failed to find where to assign a role to a specific form (The company regiration form should only be filled in by companies and Talent Registration Form only by talents)

Now when I integrate profile grid with RegistrationMagic, I’m required to show registration tab and give title of the tab. I honestly don’t know what to do.

Can you help?

There is no specific integration required for RegistrationMagic and ProfileGrid to work together. You can activate both the plugins and use them. Refer to the following path to set the user role for a specific form:
Go to RegistrationMagic-> All Forms-> Dashboard of the form-> Accounts-> check the option “Also create WP User account” and select the desired role in the dropdown of “Assign WordPress User Role”.
Refer to the following link as a guide for RegistrationMagic and ProfileGrid integration integration:
https://profilegrid.co/profilegrid-registrationmagic-integration/

You may enable the RegistrationMagic registration tab in the PG profile page form “ProfileGrid >> Global Settings >> Registrations Forms” in the dashboard. Once you enable the tab, it will display under the settings tab on the profile page.

You may add the custom fields in group registration form by referring the following steps :

1) Login to the WordPress dashboard and go to the ProfileGrid menu.

2) All Groups will be listed here, then go to the group Fields for a group.

3) Next, you will see the list of fields for that group. You can edit, delete or add fields from here.

If you are using RegistrationMagic form to sign up for a group then you will be required to map the form fields with Group fields to show in profile. For more details visit the link : https://profilegrid.co/profilegrid-registrationmagic-integration/

Each Group is associated with one RegistrationMagic registration form. You may link a group with one registration RegistrationMagic’s form in ProfileGrid’s Group settings. Groups tabs in the ProfileGrid user profile page displays the groups to which a user belongs. Feature to filter submissions forms by the group is not available as of now.

Yes, the administrator can add the users to any group from “ProfileGrid >> Members” in dashboard. Extension “Advanced Group Manager” allows Group Manager or Administrator to add the user to a group from the frontend. For details on this extension visit the link: https://profilegrid.co/multi-group-users-and-group-manager/

A group manager cannot update the profile of users.

Our plugins support translations: there are multiple languages that RegistrationMagic and ProfileGrid are compatible with. Translations can be added using a plugin such as Loco Translate, or by creating PO and MO files for specific languages in the “languages” directory of the plugin.
