Hi, Nigel is on holiday this week so I'll be glad to help with this. It sounds like you want to filter a View by a custom field value, and you want to filter by different values for each User. Here's how I would set this up.
- Create a Users custom field that stores the value "1" for User A, "2" for User B, and so on. Make the default value empty. This will be the filter criteria for your View. I will call this field "filtervalue"
- Create a View of posts that is filtered by the other custom field you mentioned here:
let say i have a field that gets #1 or #2 or #3 value.
- Configure the custom field filter to respond to a shortcode attribute like "filtervalue". This will allow you to pass a dynamic value into the filter. This technique is called "passing arguments into Views" and you can learn more about this technique here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/passing-arguments-to-views/
- Use shortcodes to insert the View of posts and apply the correct shortcode attributes and values. Insert the "filtervalue" User field shortcode for "filtervalue":

[wpv-view name="your-view-slug" filtervalue="[types usermeta='filtervalue' output='raw' current_user='true'][/types]"]

[wpv-view name="set-vote" wpcf-pole-number="[types usermeta='user-pole-number' output='raw' current_user='true'][/types]"]

[wpv-control-postmeta field="wpcf-pole-number" url_param="wpv-wpcf-pole-number" placeholder=""]

The shortcode is used to display the filtered View, so add it where you want to see the View's results. That could be in a custom Page somewhere or a Content Template, or another View.
