Yet this is solved, now I have another problem.
I’m in a category page and I want to compare the field “fileira” with the current category and, then, show all users with the value that is the same as the category.
For example, I’m in category “Fish” page and I want to show the name of all users that have written “Fish” on “Fileira” profile custom field.
I’m trying to solve this, but I don’t find a solution.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Not sure what you want but to get the current category ID you can use:
$current_category = get_query_var('cat');
// to then get the name
$current_category_name = get_cat_name( $current_category);
That gave me the category name, but my problem isnt’ solved yet 🙁
I’m trying show all users’ name and avatar that have the category name in fileira custom field value. I’m trying to compare category name with custom field value but something is wrong 🙁
This is the code:
function contributors() {
global $wpdb;
$authors = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID, user_nicename from $wpdb->users ORDER BY display_name"); //Go get all users
$current_category = get_query_var('cat');
// to then get the cat name
$current_category_name = get_cat_name( $current_category);
foreach($authors as $author) {
$fileira = the_author_meta('fileira', $author->ID); //get the value of fileira custom field
if(in_array($user_last, $current_category_name)) { //if the fileira custom field value is the same as category name
//the users with current category ID/name on fileira custom field should appear
echo "<li>"."<a href=\"".get_bloginfo('url')."/?author=".$author->ID."\">".get_avatar($author->ID)."</a>";
echo '<div>'."<a href=\"".get_bloginfo('url')."/?author=".$author->ID."\">".the_author_meta('display_name', $author->ID)."</a>"."</div>"."</li>";
echo '<div>'.$fileira."</div>"."</li>"; //show fileira value
}
else { //if it's empty
//the users without the current category name should not appear
}
}
}
contributors();
$current_category_name is not an array, it’s a string.
$user_last is not defined in the function contributors();
Maybe you want something like this:
// convert both to lowercase and check if $fileira is the same as the current category
if(strtolower($fileira) == strtolower($current_category_name)) { // rest of code
But as category name as fileira custom field value usually have a capital letter. That code won’t work, am I right?
I’ve tried and it appears the value of all custom field with the else option (if it’s not the same, it appears “no”):
“VinhononoCereaisnoCarnenoVinhononoGestão e AvaliaçãonononoCereaisno”
Sorry, it shouldn’t be $user_last, but $fileira;
function contributors() {
global $wpdb;
$authors = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID, user_nicename from $wpdb->users ORDER BY display_name"); //Go get all users
$current_category = get_query_var('cat');
// to then get the cat name
$current_category_name = get_cat_name( $current_category);
foreach($authors as $author) {
$fileira = the_author_meta('fileira', $author->ID); //get the value of fileira custom field
if(strtolower($fileira) == strtolower($current_category_name)) {
//if the fileira custom field value is the same as category name
//the users with current category ID/name on fileira custom field should appear
echo "<li>"."<a href=\"".get_bloginfo('url')."/?author=".$author->ID."\">".get_avatar($author->ID)."</a>";
echo '<div>'."<a href=\"".get_bloginfo('url')."/?author=".$author->ID."\">".the_author_meta('display_name', $author->ID)."</a>"."</div>"."</li>";
echo '<div>'.$fileira."</div>"."</li>"; //show fileira value
}
else { //if it's empty
//the users without the current category name should not appear
echo "no";
}
}
}
contributors();
That code won’t work, am I right?
I only use that to check with both values to lowercase. If a user typed “fish” instead of “Fish” the conditional if($fileira == $current_category_name) would be false. The variable $fileira or $current_category_name is never set to lowercase.
try changing:
$fileira = the_author_meta('fileira', $author->ID); //get the value of fileira custom field
to
$fileira = get_the_author_meta('fileira', $author->ID); //get the value of fileira custom field
Problem persists 🙁
If I write echo $fileira; and echo $$current_category_name, the first shows all values in that field and the second show the right category name.
But when I want to compare, it jumps to the else “echo ‘no'”;
So the comparison is wrong, but I don’t know the right code :/
When I put the code inside the if loop, outside it,
$fileira = get_the_author_meta('fileira', $author->ID); //get the value of fileira custom field
echo "<li>"."<a href=\"".get_bloginfo('url')."/?author=".$author->ID."\">".get_avatar($author->ID)."</a>";
echo '<div>'."<a href=\"".get_bloginfo('url')."/?author=".$author->ID."\">".the_author_meta('display_name', $author->ID)."</a>"."</div>"."</li>";
echo '<div>'.$fileira."</div>"."</li>";
I get all the users with the avatar, name and the fileira field value, but the “no” of the else is always showing up.
else { //if it's empty
echo "no";
}
the first shows all values in that field
Has it more values than one? Or is it just a string?
Can you show the values.
The Fileira custom field is a text field
<tr>
<th><label for="fileira"><?php _e('Fileira'); ?></label></th>
<td><input type="text" name="fileira" id="fileira" value="<?php echo esc_attr($profileuser->fileira) ?>" class="regular-text" /></td>
</tr>
So the user can write whatever they want.
The categories are: Fish, Meat, Wine, Cereals, Honey, Vegetables, Olive Oil and Milk.
So what I want is if a user is on a category page (eg. Fish), he/she can see all users that “belong” to that category, by getting the value of Fileira custom field and comparing it with the category name of the current page and, if it’s the same, appears avatar and name of those users.
I get all users, than the custom field value and the current category, but when I’m comparing them, the if doesn’t work.
I’ve tested it with this in my functions.php: http://pastebin.com/mnEhUBQ6
and this on a category.php: http://pastebin.com/8FciHn6A
And it works.
Oh my god, at first glance, it works!! 🙂
Thank you so much 😀
The problem was on creating the custom field?
Glad it works. But why not create radio buttons for the categories? That way you are sure it is an existing category in the fileira author_meta
