Hi there,

Please can you help. I need to filter a View based on a user role. I.e. Teacher.

I've found the code below, but the Meta_Key is wrong. Can you help? What should I change that segment to so that I can look for only posts related to a role. I can't find the right meta_key to use...

//filter based on user roles
function func_filter_view_basedon_role( $query_args ,$view_settings, $view_id ) {
    global $WP_Views;
      
    if ( $view_id == 15528) {
      
     $args1 = array( 'fields'=>'ids',
                                'role' => $WP_Views->view_shortcode_attributes[0]['role'],
                                'orderby' => 'user_nicename',
                                'order' => 'ASC'
                            );
      $found_user_ids = get_users($args1);
      if(empty($found_user_ids)){
         $found_user_ids = array(-1);
      }
       
     $query_args['meta_key'] = 'role';
     $query_args['meta_value'] =  $found_user_ids;
       
    }
    return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'func_filter_view_basedon_role', 99, 3);

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I already shared the solution with the following link how you can filter the user posts based on the specific role:
=> https://toolset.com/forums/topic/create-a-view-which-displays-only-posts-created-by-users-with-the-role-author/#post-2255909

It seems based on the code you shared, you are passing the role name using the view's shortcode attribute, if that's correct then can you please try to use the following code:

function func_filter_view_basedon_role( $query_args ,$view_settings, $view_id ) {
    global $WP_Views;
       
    if ( $view_id == 15528) {
       
     $args1 = array( 'fields'=>'ID',
                                'role' => $WP_Views->view_shortcode_attributes[0]['role'],
                                'orderby' => 'user_nicename',
                                'order' => 'ASC'
                            );
      $found_user_ids = get_users($args1);
       $query_args['author__in'] = (!empty($found_user_ids))? $found_user_ids:array(0);
        
    }
    return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'func_filter_view_basedon_role', 99, 3);
