Here is what i want to do, and i am currently very stuck figuring this out
– Hook into post login
– Check if the current user has data stored in MyCertificates
– if NOT, make API call, get image, sideload image, store image for the current user’s MyCertificates-field
– if IT DOES, do nothing… the image is already there
I have figured i need to make a user-group with firstname, lastname and image-field (?)
The wp_login hook runs after a user has logged in. This would be where you’d want to do what you are trying to do.
Yes, the wp_login_hook is what i use for that.
I cannot, with the DOCs, understand how to attach an image to a user-field….
Maybe there are somebody with a few pointers here ?
And is my assumption of doing a User-group with firstname, lastname and image-field correct?
You set up a acf field group with an image field that has the location rule
User Form is equal to All (or add/edit or whatever place you want it to appear)
You side load the image, this returns and image attachment ID
you then update the ACF field with that ID
// use field key for fields that do not already have values
// 3rd parameter is the post id where to store the value, in this case it is a user
update_field('field_XXXXX', $attachment_id, 'user_'.$user->ID);
