Hi!
I'm creating a members only sites where users can see other users data. Just what Buddypress will do.
The thing is that I've created a all my custom field as _User Fields_ and just found out that all users related fields can not be used within Custom Search
"Only Views listing posts can have custom search inputs."
So I guess the questions are:
¿How can I create a View for all my users filtered by a specific Custom Field from the User Field?
¿ How can I create a Content Template for each user to show all my Custom Fields that will be access from this view ?
I would really appreciate if you can point me out to some documentation that will help me out. I already follow:
https://toolset.com/learn/create-membership-site-wordpress-using-toolset-plugins/
But this is not covering what I need.
Could you explain me how to approach this? Should I use CPT instead of User Fields?
Thanks!
Dear Cesar
I think it is possible within custom user fields.
Q1) How can I create a View for all my users filtered by a specific Custom Field from the User Field?
Yes, you are right, user view does not support custom search form, for example, there is a custom single line user field "my-user-field", you can create a view to list all users whose "my-user-field" field value is same as current user's, for example:
1) Create a view "my-user-view", list users, filter by Usermeta field filter:
Select items with field:
my-user-field is a string equal to VIEW_PARAM(myuserfield)
2) display above view like this:
[wpv-view name="my-user-view" myuserfield="[types usermeta='my-user-field' user_current='true'][/types]"]

Q2) How can I create a Content Template for each user to show all my Custom Fields that will be access from this view ?
Could you elaborate the question with more details?
What kind of content template do you need, what custom do you want to show? how do you setup the view?
I need to test it in my localhost ,thanks
Thanks so much for your support,
Q1)
I followed your instruction but can't found VIEW_PARAM, see the attached image bellow. Content selection is set to Users/Any role
Is there something I'm missing?
Q2)
you are right, this was difficult to explain, but I manage to make it work with views and a pretty useful Query that filter users by ID
Thanks!
It is the option "Shortcode attribute" in your screenshot:

I have same issue. I need a page, "Display a filterable list of users"
This post is not helpful because I'm using Toolset Blocks which I can't use View plugin.
Would you explain how to do it with "Toolset Blocks"
Or is there any document for this? Please let me know.
Thanks,
