ECI: User Meta
The User Meta panel is for importing user date or generating users from user or customer data. The User Meta form allows you to assign any column, with any title, to any User Meta Key in order to populate the User Meta Value.
Key Information
- You must select a column for your users email address
- user_login is the key to populate the users username
- As I write this, there are no data functions, the column of menus was kept after copying the form from Custom Fields for post creation. In future I could add special functions where anyone needs them. Possibly you would want to validate data in some way. Please comment on this page if you are interesting in special functions.
- You can enter a default value for any meta value, but remember the same default value will be entered for every user that has null values in your records for the selected column
Features
This form helps you to configure WordPress user meta keys and user meta values. The data will end up in the wp_usermeta table if you want to check it during testing.
Part
This is where you type your user meta key and it makes up part of your user profiles/accounts. Do not enter duplicate values. You must enter the correct key value if it is for other plugins or themes to use. Do not enter special characters in these boxes.
Column
These menus allow you to pair data with the key. The data from the column you select will become the meta value. You can use the same column as many times as you like, although this should be avoided where possible but obviously if you have multiple plugins requiring different keys it cannot be helped. Developers should try to use existing keys and not duplicate data for the sake of your own system. Unless your system also makes changes to the meta values and you do not want the changes to apply to other keys.
Data Functions
Currently there are no Data Functions but they can easily be added. Please comment below if you would like to discuss a special function being applied to your data.
Overall Effects
Mass creates blog users, registering the with extra meta data if required. Easy CSV Importer does not currently take any further action to creating users such as mailing the user. Such features can be added if requested.
