eMember – Retrieve member data without being logged in as member?

[Ralph12]

Hi,

For a check, based on a custom field value, I use the following code:

$emember_auth = Emember_Auth::getInstance();

$verification_id = $emember_auth->getUserInfo('Verification_ID');

if (!empty($_GET['cid']) && $_GET['cid'] == $verification_id) {

//Display post's comment form.

}

It works, but then I realized it only works with logged in members. While it should work for non-logged in users as well.

Each member also has a custom eMember field, containing a unique WP post ID. So I could retrieve the Verification ID, based on the ID of the post a user is currently viewing/reading. Something like this:

$emember_auth = Emember_Auth::getInstance(POST_ID);

$verification_id = $emember_auth->getUserInfo('Verification_ID');

if (!empty($_GET['cid']) && $_GET['cid'] == $verification_id) {

//Display post's comment form.

}

But there’s a problem: getInstance() doesn’t take any arguments (e.g. current post’s ID).

Does someone know how to retrieve specific custom field values, even when there’s no logged in user? Do I have to write a SQL query for that or can I use an already existing eMember function?

Thanks in advance.

Best,

Ralph

You can call a function to retrieve data of a member (given you know the member ID).

Here is an example snippet of code that will retrieve the email address of the member whose ID is 2:

$user_email = wp_emember_get_user_details_by_id('email', '2');

There are also shortcodes for this. See explanation in the following post:
