Maybe try something like this:
<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
query_posts( "author=$user_id&posts_per_page=6" );
// insert your loop code here
wp_reset_query();
} else {
// display non-logged in user content
}
?>
You can likely copy the_Loop code from your theme and paste it in where I wrote the ‘// insert your loop code here’ comment.
Thanks Cais.
This is my final code.
<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
query_posts( "author=$user_id&posts_per_page=6" );?>
<ul>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?></a>
</li>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
</ul>
<p><?php _e('You Have No Submissions'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php
wp_reset_query();
} else {
('You Have No Submissions.');
}
?>
And it works great!
I wonder though how can I add a message to display when someone is not logged in. “Such as please login to view your recent posts”
I’m glad it is working for you …
To add a message … try this at the end of your code instead of what you are using:
...
wp_reset_query();
} else {
echo "Please login to view your recent posts.";
}
?>
You can modify the message inside the quotes to what suits your needs best.
perfect!
I just had the thought ho can this be altered to show the current users recent comments. There isn’t a query_comments tag is there?
I’m guessing it will have something to with <?php wp_list_comments( $args ); ?> perhaps?
Thanks for your support!
right I found this http://wordpress.org/support/topic/312462 and it has pointed me in the right direction but I am not quite there.
The code
<?
if(get_query_var('author_name')) :
$curauth = get_userdatabylogin(get_query_var('author_name'));
else :
$curauth = get_userdata(get_query_var('author'));
endif;
$querystr = "
SELECT comment_ID, comment_post_ID, post_title, comment_content
FROM $wpdb->comments, $wpdb->posts
WHERE user_id = $curauth->ID
AND comment_post_id = ID
AND comment_approved = 1
ORDER BY comment_ID DESC
";
$comments_array = $wpdb->get_results($querystr, OBJECT);
if ($comments_array): ?>
<h2>Recent Comments </h2>
<ul>
<? foreach ($comments_array as $comment):
setup_postdata($comment);
echo "<li><a href='". get_bloginfo('url') ."/?p=".$comment->comment_post_ID."'>Comment on ". $comment->post_title. "</a><br />". $comment->comment_content . "</li>";
endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<? endif; ?>
Works great on the authors page but I’d like to alter it so that it works in the sidebar and gets the recent comments of the logged in user or displays a message “please log in to view your recent comments”
Thanks
The following is only quickly tested … user beware.
I just quickly combined all of the above examples, I would expect it to work but you should make sure to test it thoroughly.
<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$querystr = "
SELECT comment_ID, comment_post_ID, post_title, comment_content
FROM $wpdb->comments, $wpdb->posts
WHERE user_id = $user_id
AND comment_post_id = ID
AND comment_approved = 1
ORDER BY comment_ID DESC
";
$comments_array = $wpdb->get_results($querystr, OBJECT);
if ($comments_array):
?>
<h2>Recent Comments </h2>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($comments_array as $comment):
setup_postdata($comment);
echo "<li><a href='". get_bloginfo('url') ."/?p=".$comment->comment_post_ID."'>Comment on ". $comment->post_title. "</a><br />". $comment->comment_content . "</li>";
endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif;
} else {
echo "Please login to view your recent comments.";
}
?>
PS: There may be a lot of code clean-up involved as WP_DEBUG set to ‘true’ throws quite a few “Notices” that should be addressed.
Thanks. This does work in my page templates but not within my side bar.
I’ve tried adding it as PHP code within a widget and also directly pasting it with my rightsidebar.php but nothing shows. Not even the <h2>Recent Comments </h2>
I just copy and pasted the code above into the sidebar on one of my test sites and it appears to work fine (with the exception of the WP_DEBUG Notices). Both logged in and logged out.
OK – I’ve been scratching my head for this now for ages!
When I am logged out I receive the message “Please login to view your recent comments” See link but when I log in I see nothing below the heading Your Recent Comments so no list of comments or the other two widgets placed below this.
I did run the debug and the message I received the error Undefined variable: wpdb (I dont think this really affects anything).
Just to also mention that when I end the code with
<?php endif;?>
and not
<?php endif;
} else {
echo "Please login to view your recent comments.";
}
?>
The other widgets below show up but no comments are listed.
I’m going to keep trying if I solve this I will let you know!
still no luck with this.
I’ve tried combining the two codes but with the same results.
Strange how it works in a page template and not the sidebar!
I’ve been back on this last night but still with zero luck.
Anyone with any suggestions?
I have just tried the show current users recent posts and my page displays nothing now? Was there something else in your code that you did or changed to make it work?
nope not changed any of the coding.
It might be an idea to double check your mark up.
