User Notes

By cartpauj

Description

This plugin adds a text editor area to each User Profile in the dashboard for Administrators to keep private notes about each User. The notes are ONLY visible to Administrators — that’s the whole point! It also adds a column to the “All Users” list where you can quickly see the note for the user without having to even open their profile.

It is especially handy for Membership Sites where you may have thousands of members to deal with and need to remember special circumstances for them.

Installation

All you’ll need to do to get this setup is:

Install and Activate the plugin
Visit any Users Profile page when logged in as an Administrator. There you will see a section for “User Notes”. Update your notes for that user and save their profile.

That’s it!

This is GREAT plugin! But I’d love it even more if you could add note from user list (like Plugin Notes Plus which is super quick) rather than open up the profile page. But I’m not complaining – thanks for this 🙂

Thanks for the plugin. Simply adds a box to the user profile to add private notes. No frills or fuss!

Este es un plugin bastante útil. Para sitios de varios niveles de usuario y con participación en el sitio. Buena idea del creador. El plugin funciona bien y es muy liviano, sólo es un archivo .php. No tiene archivo .po para traducirlo así que hay que modificar tres o cuatro textos en el php. Gracias.

This is very helpful. However, I’d prefer a solution where you can see and edit notes in the list view (similar to Plugin Notes Plus).

This was perfectly designed. It was easy to intuit how to use. I knew I could have added a field to the user profile but I had no idea how to make it only viewable to the admins. This plug in did that AND made it possible to view it on the Users Page. Thanks!!
