How to update user profile fields?
  • froccofrocco
    Hello,

    I can use Auth::get_profile_fields to get the values.
    How do I reverse this and store data in the profile text field?

    I tried searching and cannot find it.

    Thanks

    You can use the update_user() method.

    Any fields passed that are not user record columns will be added to the profile fields.

    If you want to do it directly, then for OrmAuth you can use the Model's, profile data is stored in the users meta data (it's an EAV container). When using SimpleAuth it is stored as a serialized array that you need to unpack and pack yourself.

    Hi Frocco,
    Here is a very basic example for simpleauth...
    Auth::create_user(
    Input::post('username'),
    Input::post('password'),
    Input::post('email'),
    1, //Group id, depends on what logic you are using.
    array(
    "firstname" => Input::post('firstname'),
    "lastname"  => Input::post('lastname'),
    )
    );

    It returns userid if successful, otherwise false.
