php echo wordpress user meta data

Question

On my site when a user is registering there is an option to pick from an additional option that pears their account up with a non-profit. Once the user has registered and viewing specific pages of the site I want the site to be tailored to them using php that grabs their meta info. For this I will echo a button that tailors the front-end based on what meta value they have selected when registering.

If they have no meta key, then nothing is shown.

Here is my code attempt, but does not work!

    <?php global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo(); //wordpress global variable to fetch logged in user info
$userID = $current_user->ID; //logged in user's ID
$havemeta1 = get_user_meta($userID,'nch',true); //stores the value of logged in user's meta data for 'National Coalition for the homeless'
$havemeta2 = get_user_meta($userID,'rotary-international',true); //stores the value of logged in user's meta data for 'Rotary International'
$havemeta3 = get_user_meta($userID,'khan-academy',true); //stores the value of logged in user's meta data for 'Khan Academy'
$havemeta4 = get_user_meta($userID,'wwf',true); //stores the value of logged in user's meta data for 'World Wildlife Fund (WWF)'
$havemeta5 = get_user_meta($userID,'bcrf',true); //stores the value of logged in user's meta data for 'The Breast Cancer Research Foundation'
?>

<!--add if statement to figure out what button to show to logged in user-->

<?php if ($havemeta1) { ?>
   <div <p>nch</p> class="Button1"></div>
<?php } elseif ($havemeta2) { ?>
   <div <p>rotary-international</p>class="Button2"></div>
<?php } elseif ($havemeta3) { ?>
   <div <p>khan-academy</p>class="Button3"></div>
<?php } elseif ($havemeta4) { ?>
   <div <p>wwf</p>class="Button4"></div>
<?php } elseif ($havemeta5) { ?>
   <div <p>bcrf</p>class="Button5"></div>
<?php } else { ?>
   <div><p>None - No Matching Affiliation</p></div>
<?php }?>

-----------------------New Code----------------------

This allows me to see what the affiliation variable is pulling for the user The result is this: 'User Affiliation: khan-academy'

<?php global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();

      echo 'User Affiliation: ' . $current_user->affiliation . "\n";
?>

Answer 1

can you pass the meta into a session var, ie $_SESSION['havemeta5'];

Answer 2

get_user_meta is set up wrong. Try this:

$havemeta1 = get_user_meta( $userID, 'nch', true );

...and so on. You need to pass the $userID as the first parameter of get_user_meta() - not $affiliation.

update

If your user meta is 'affiliation' (which allows you to call $current_user->affiliation), you can do something like this:

<?php
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$userID = $current_user->ID;
$affiliation = get_user_meta( $userID, 'affiliation', false );
$affiliation = $affiliation[0];
if( 'nch' == $affiliation ){
  print '<div class="Button1"><p>nch</p></div>';
} elseif( 'rotary-international' == $affiliation ){
  print '<div class="Button2"><p>Rotary International</p></div>';
} elseif( 'khan-academy' == $affiliation ){
  print '<div class="Button3"><p>Khan Academy</p></div>';
} elseif( 'wwf' == $affiliation ){
  print '<div class="Button4"><p>wwf</p></div>';
} elseif( 'bcrf' == $affiliation ){
  print '<div class="Button5"><p>bcrf</p></div>';
} else {
  print '<div><p>None - no matching affiliation</p></div>';
  print '<div>User ID: '.$userID.', Affiliation: '.$affiliation.'</div>';
}
