Topic Tag: Views

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to query the Post Relationships.

Solution:

We actually have API functions for these and it should be able to assist you with achieving this.

Problem:
A page with a View that includes custom CSS janks around when loading, i.e. the page loads without the styles and then after a delay the styles are applied.

Solution:
We may change the behaviour of how custom CSS is added, but at the moment it involves JS being used to apply the CSS.

This can be avoided by just adding your custom CSS inside style tags in any of the editors in a View.

Problem: I have a View of Users, and I would like to display the role of each User in the Loop.

Solution:
Add the following custom shortcode to your functions.php file:

function get_user_role_func( $atts )
{
  $a = shortcode_atts( array(
      'userid' => ''
  ), $atts );
  $userdata = get_user_by('ID', $a['userid']);
  $user_roles = $userdata->roles;
  $user_role = array_shift($user_roles);
  return $user_role;
}
add_shortcode( 'get_user_role', 'get_user_role_func' );

Then in your View, use the shortcode in a conditional like this:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[get_user_role userid='[wpv-user field='ID']']' eq 'editor' )"]
I am Editor
[/wpv-conditional]
[wpv-conditional if="( '[get_user_role userid='[wpv-user field='ID']']' eq 'administrator' )"]
I am Admin
[/wpv-conditional]
