 * 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!
