XF 2.2 Edit custom user field in cron job using admin privileges?

[jb-net]

Hi,

I'm creating an addon that is using a cron job to update user's custom field with individual values. I'm doing this using:

$user->Profile->custom_fields->field_id = 'individual_value';
$user->Profile->save();

But running the cron I get this error message:

Field field_name is not editable.

I think this is because the custom user field is not user editable. Options of my user custom field:



My Users shouldn't be able to edit it. I just want to store individual additional user data in the field using my newly created cron job.

After some research I found this:

$writer->setOption(XenForo_DataWriter_User::OPTION_ADMIN_EDIT, true);

Not sure, but this might do the trick:

$user->Profile->custom_fields->field_id = 'individual_value';
$user->Profile->setOption('admin_edit', true);
$user->Profile->save();

$user->Profile->custom_fields->set('field_id', 'value', $editMode);

$editMode can be one of a handful of values depending on the context/restrictions you want:

• admin
• user
• user_pre_reg
• moderator
• moderator_user

In this case, you probably want admin which will basically override everything and always be editable.

$user->Profile->custom_fields->set('field_id', 'value', $editMode);

Perfect, that solved my issue!

Thank you very much @Mike as well as @nocte for your support
