Usermeta
== Examples ==
=== Get the Usermeta object ===
$usermeta = get_usermeta_object();
=== Associate something with a user ===
$usermeta->set($user_id, "myplugin_thingy", "myvalue");
=== Get the value for the author of a post (in the Loop) ===
$val = $usermeta->get(get_the_author_ID(), "myplugin_thingy", true);
if (is_null($val)) {
do default action when no meta data
} else {
echo $val
}
=== Adding more info to a post... ===
This post written by who lives at
get(get_the_author_ID(), "address", true); ?>
=== Add a few bits of information to the current user ===
global $user_ID;
get_currentuserinfo();
$usermeta->add($user_ID, "myplugin_listofthings", "myval_1");
$usermeta->add($user_ID, "myplugin_listofthings", "myval_2");
$usermeta->add($user_ID, "myplugin_listofthings", "myval_3");
== API ==
$bool = $usermeta->database_exists()
Check to see if our tables exist, returns true if so
$out = $usermeta->ensure_database()
Ensure that the usermeta table has been created. Returns an array
of messages of actions taken, if any. (Comes from Wordpress' dbDelta
function.)
$bool = $usermeta->add($user_id, $key, $value)
$bool = $usermeta->add($user_id, $key, $value, $unique)
Adds in the given value for this user/key when unique is false (or not
passed in). If unique is true, a check is made to see if the user/key
already exists and if it does, no new entry is added. If anything was
added true is returned, false otherwise.
$bool = $usermeta->delete($user_id, $key)
$bool = $usermeta->delete($user_id, $key, $value)
If no value is given, deletes all values for the given user/key. If a
value is given, only tries to delete that value. If anything was
deleted, returns true.
$bool = $usermeta->get($user_id, $key, $single)
If single is false, returns an array of all values for this user/key,
however if single is true, returns the first found entry for this
user/key or NULL if there are none.
$bool = $usermeta->set($user_id, $key, $value)
Sets all occurances of user_id/key to the given value. If no such
user_id/key exists, a new entry is added. Always true on success.
$bool = $usermeta->update($user_id, $key, $value)
$bool = $usermeta->update($user_id, $key, $value, $prev_value)
Updates all occurances of this user/key with the new value. If optional
fourth param is passed in, then only matches with that value are changed.
Returns true if any items were changed, false otherwise.

== Upgrading from WordPress 1.5 to 2.0 ===
If you used Usermeta 0.1 or 0.2 you must run this before you upgrade to
WP 2.0:
ALTER TABLE wp_usermeta CHANGE meta_id umeta_id bigint(20)
NOT NULL auto_increment
You do not need to do this with Usermeta 0.3 which is compatible with both
versions.
=== Failed upgrades to WP 2.0 ===
Unfortunately due to some interaction between WP 2.0 and the tables which
were used up in Usermeta 0.1 if you upgrade to WP 2.0 having used an old
version of Usermeta it will fail to correctly create the necessary data in
wp_usermeta. You may see the error:
WordPress database error: [Key column 'umeta_id' doesn't exist in table]
The simplest fix is to restore your database and then follow the
instructions above. The problem any other way is that you need to go
through the upgrade process again to populate the wp_usermeta table with WP
2.0 parameters (if you really want to try, see upgrade_160() in WordPress
API.
