Dear Sir/Madam,

I want to build one View to filter the post by author id, if no author id is provided, author id is the current logged in user, it is possible to do?

[Luo Yang]

Hello,

It is possible with custom codes, for example:

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'default_author_filter', 99, 3 );
function default_author_filter( $query_args, $view_settings, $views_id  ) {
    if ( $views_id == 123 ) { // specific view ID
        if(!isset($query_args['author'])){
			$query_args['author'] = 456; // specific user ID
		}
    }
    return $query_args;
}

Dear Luo Yang,

Thanks for your reply but it doesn't work. The error prompted "This is a word reserved by WordPress" if I set the URL parameter as author

I want to show the view with the current login author rather than a specific user. I try to change your script as below but doesn't work, it show all post without any filter.

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'default_author_filter', 99, 3 );
function default_author_filter( $query_args, $view_settings, $views_id  ) {
    if ( $views_id == 3583 ) { // specific view ID
        if(!isset($query_args['authorid'])){
            $query_args['authorid'] = get_current_user_id(); // current user ID
        }
    }
    return $query_args;
}

Since it is a custom codes problem, please provide a test site with the same problem, also point out the problem page URL and view URL, where I can edit your custom PHP codes, I need a live website to test and debug, thanks

Dear Luo Yang,

Due to the company policy, the production site is not allowed to have external user access, do you mind having a discover site from toolset so that I can prepare some data for testing?

Best regards,

Kelvin

Dear Luo Yang,

I tested, it works if I pass the authorid but not be triggered if without authorid, I added the command exit to script, it doesn't end the script

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'default_author_filter', 99, 3 );
function default_author_filter( $query_args, $view_settings, $views_id  ) {
    if ( $views_id == 3583 ) { // specific view ID
        exit;
        if(!isset($query_args['authorid'])){
            $query_args['authorid'] = get_current_user_id(); // specific user ID
        }
    }
    return $query_args;
}
