Gravity Forms Registration – Add User to Multiple Sites
You’ve got a scenario where someone is signing up to multisite via Gravity Forms’ user registration plugin. The following function will automatically add them to as many additional sites as you’d like.
add_action( 'gform_user_registered', 'many_site_registration_save', 10, 3 );
function many_site_registration_save( $user_id, $feed, $entry ) {
$sites = array(25,26,27,28); //the IDs of the sites you want the user added to
foreach ($sites as $site) {
add_user_to_blog($site, $user_id, 'author'); //the last variable is the desired role for the user
}
}

WordPress for Syllabus Submission
This post is specifically about addressing a syllabus submission problem but it’s worth thinking about more broadly. It should be pretty applicable to any structured data entry problem you have. These are often administrative chores (like this one) but could also be about cataloging grave markers or indexing resources or Collecting the syllabi for their department is one of those miserable things department chairs often have to do. They then need to store and reference those syllabi for a few years.I feel like I already wrote this post . . . but since I can’t find it . . . The normal pattern is to ask people to email the syllabus and there is usually some desperate plea for a common naming convention.Start with your last name, then underscore . . . This plea is followed by ~2 people. People are bad at directions (giving and following). Email makes this basic flaw 20 times worse.You can then square the chance of error because everyone hates turning in stuff like this. This particular pattern for misery incarnate is repeated over and over at VCU and across universities everywhere. I recently met with a faculty member who’d at least been asked to submit the syllabus to a shared Google Drive folder but he was having issues because of directions and Google’s interface […]
For Want of an API . . .
We wanted to be able to know whether people signing up for Ram Pages were faculty or not but didn’t want to add fields for them to fill out. VCU has an online phonebook with faculty emails in it but there didn’t appear to be a way to hook into an API. But you can provision the site with search items via the URL like so https://phonebook.vcu.edu/?Qname=woodwardtw%40vcu.edu. Since I knew that PHP can grab a website (file_get_contents) and parse out the text in various ways (preg_match) it seemed like we could automate this. When the phonebook site fails to find a matching email it returns some text that says ‘No matches.’ That’s what I decided to look for. If you look at the comments below, each line of the code is broken down and pretty much (over) explains what it does. Update Here’s a better version using curl and displaying the data in the user profile so you can see if you’re crazy or not. It also checks for the metadata field and updates or creates it as needed.
Workshop to Event Workflow in WordPress
I have been doing little other than semi-real web development for three weeks across a number of projects. It’s a level of sustained practice/work that I’ve probably never done before. Who knew that kind of focus could actually result in fairly dramatic improvement? One of the projects is the reconstruction of our ALT Lab department page and I have had the chance to really do some stuff that I’ve been considering for several years. There’s a lot going on in the site but I’ll focus on one little concept/workflow for the moment. We have two goals in this case. We want a browsable catalog of workshops we offer that can be shared with people so they can request them.Got four friends interested in this? We’ll run it. We need a calendar of events. Those events will include workshops that are presented at a particular date. We use Events Calendar Pro for this and are very happy with it. Workshops – The Post Type Step one was to create a custom post type called ‘workshop’ and then assign some custom fields to it with ACF. That keeps the content fairly consistent in look/feel and gives us enough standardization to do other tricks. We ended up with a custom post interface that looks like the gifYou hear my voice in your head […]
