[Resolved] Conditional display checking that no posts exist by current user

Tell us what you are trying to do?

I am building a site which includes reviews for users. I am trying to display the CRED form for review submission on the profile page (another custom post type). However I only want to display the form to create a review if there are no existing reviews by the logged in user for the profile being displayed.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

I have been looking at this thread: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/conditional-display-of-cred-form-on-post-depending-if-a-child-post-exists/

This is the function code I wrote:

function check_review_exists( ) {
      
    $user = wp_get_current_user();
    $result = new WP_Query(array(
        'author'            => $user->ID,
        'post_type'     => 'supplier-review', 
        'post_status'       => 'publish',
        'meta_query' => array(
        array(
            'key'     => 'reviewed-user',
            'value'   => $user->ID,
            'compare' => '=',
        ),
    ),
        'posts_per_page'    => 1,
    ));
    return (count($result->posts));
      
}
add_shortcode( 'review_exists', 'check_review_exists' );

I wasn't sure whether to register to shortcode or the function in Toolset >> Settings >> Front-end Content, so I tried both.

I am using the Divi Builder to create the content template for Profiles. I tried a few different conditional statements such as this:

{!{wpv-conditional if="( '{!{wpv-current-user}!}' eq '{!{wpv-post-author}!}' )" evaluate="false"}!}

{!{wpv-conditional if="( check_review_exists() gt '0' )" evaluate="false"}!}

Leave a Review for this Supplier
{!{cred_form form="leave-a-review"}!}{!{/wpv-conditional}!}{!{/wpv-conditional}!}

I have logged in as a different user to the profile author, and have submitted a review, which I have published. However if I refresh the profile page while logged in as the other user, I still see the CRED form, which should now be hidden as a review does exist by the logged in user.

Can you see what I'm doing wrong?

Hello,

It is a custom codes problem, please check this:
1) Output the shortcode {!{review_exists}!} directly, check if it is does output the correct number count of current user.
2) Edit your codes as below:

{!{wpv-conditional if="( '{!{wpv-current-user}!}' ne '{!{wpv-post-author}!}' ) AND ( check_review_exists() eq 0 )" debug="true"}!}
Leave a Review for this Supplier
{!{cred_form form="leave-a-review"}!}
{!{/wpv-conditional}!}

And test again.

Hi Luo

Thanks man

Okay I've changed things slightly now. I now have a type 'Profile', with a child type 'Review'.

My code is now as follows:

function check_review_exists( ) {
      
    $user = wp_get_current_user();
	$post = get_post();
    $result = new WP_Query(array(
        'author'            => $user->ID,
        'post_type'     => 'review', 
        'post_status'       => 'publish',
        'meta_query' => array(
        array(
            'key'     => '_wpcf_belongs_profile_ID',
            'value'   => $post->ID,
            'compare' => '=',
        ),
    ),
        'posts_per_page'    => 1,
    ));
    return (count($result->posts));
      
}
add_shortcode( 'review_exists', 'check_review_exists' );

I have checked the output of the function. It works except when I use the meta query part. Have I referred to the post relationship properly?

I have checked that the $post->ID is correct, so I can only assume it is the key that is wrong? (I am trying to check if there are any review posts existing which are written by the current user which are children of the current displayed 'profile' post.

Please try to modify this line from:

'key'     => '_wpcf_belongs_profile_ID',

To:

'key'     => '_wpcf_belongs_profile_id',

And test again

Ah yes of course.

Thanks Luo, it all seems to be working now.

You are welcome.
