   Hi there, thanks for the great plugin first of all!

   I'm trying to pull in a list of posts for a custom post type and I don't get anything in my select field. Here's my code:

   function register_user_fields() {
   	slt_cf_register_box( array(
   		'type'		=> 'user',
   		'title'		=> 'Member Profile Page',
   		'id'		=> 'profile-page-options',
   		'context'	=> 'normal',
   		'priority'	=> 'high',
   		'fields'	=> array(
   			array(
   				'name'			=> 'profile-page',
   				'label'			=> 'Profile Page',
   				'type'			=> 'select',
   				'scope'			=> array( 'administrator', 'editor' ),
   				'capabilities'	=> array( 'edit_posts' )
   			)
   		),
   		'options_type' => 'posts',
   		'options_query' => array(
   			'posts_per_page' => -1,
   			'post_type' => 'member'
   		)
   	));
   }
   add_action('init','register_user_fields');

   I've got a bunch of members added so there are posts there. Am I doing something wrong?

   Thanks,
   Jonah

   Hi Jonah, what you need to do is put the options_type and options_query parameters inside the array for the profile-page field where they belong! ;-)

   A "box" isn't really a good term for a group of fields on a user screen, but the plugin started life just handling post meta boxes. But still, when you register a box, it's a group of fields, and each field's parameters need to be in its array.

   Hey Steve, thanks for the reply, that makes sense and it now works perfectly!
