I am writing a WordPress theme that adds several custom fields to the user profile using the following function
function add_contact_methods( $profile_fields ) {
// Add Social Media Fields
$profile_fields['facebook'] = esc_html_e( 'Facebook URL', 'jldc' );
);
return $profile_fields;
}
add_filter( 'user_contactmethods', 'add_contact_methods' );
How do I hook this into the REST API (using v2-ßeta13 of the plug-in) so that the value of this field will be returned in the JSON response from the server?
I found one tutorial on it and I ended up with the resulting code:
function facebook_add_user_data() {
register_api_field( 'user',
'facebook',
array(
'get_callback' => 'facebook_get_user_field',
'update_callback' => null,
'schema' => array(
'description' => 'User Facebook URL',
'type' => 'string',
'context' => array( 'view' ),
),
)
);
}
add_action( 'rest_api_init', 'facebook_add_user_data' );
function facebook_get_user_field( $user, $field_name, $request ) {
return get_user_meta( $user->id, $field_name);
}
When I run the request (../wp-json/wp/v2/users/2) the fields are not appearing.
How do you hook these fields in?
