Hello,
I am trying to add a conditional in the "profile" post type and show sth if the post author is logged in. I tried to use the shortcode [wpv-user info="logged_in" id="[wpv-post-author format="meta" meta="ID"]"] but it returns just the author's name. The shortcode [wpv-current-user info="logged_in"] works only for the current user. Is there a way to show that information about another user or the post author?
Thank you!
Dear Ioannis,
I assume you are going to check these:
If the current user is same as the post author of current post.
Please try the wpv-conditional shortcode like this:
[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-current-user info="login"]' eq '[wpv-post-author format="meta" meta="user_login"]' ) "]
current user is same as the post author of current post.
[/wpv-conditional]

Dear Luo,
thank you for your response! I propably didn't explain well. I do not need the information for the current user. I need to know if the post author is logged in or not and show that information in his post to everybody ( logged in users or visitors ). The issue is that [wpv-current-user info="login"] shows that info only for the current user. I need to to show the info if another user that is the post author is logged in.
I tried
[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-user info="login"]' eq '[wpv-post-author format="meta" meta="user_login"]' ) "]
Author is connected now[/wpv-conditional]
but it is not working.
Thanks for the details, there isn't such a feature within Views plugin, the attribute value "user_login" of shortcode [wpv-user field="logged_in" ... ] is correspond to the database table wp_users, column "user_login", which is the username.
In your case, I suggest you try the solution in other website, for example:
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/34429/how-to-check-if-a-user-not-current-user-is-logged-in
For your reference.
Dear Luo,
I have found that thread 2 days before and I have tried all the solutions with no success. I need to know if the user is logged in or not, add a sign in the profile, create a list with the logged in users and if is possible to add this option to the parametric search. So I created the field of the post type provider wpcf-my-status that can take the values "0" and "1". Is there a way the value of the field been updated to 1 when the post author logs in and to 0 when he is logged out? I have found these 2 functions but I do not know how to combine them
function add_session_mitesh()
{
global $wpdb;
if(is_user_logged_in())
{
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$wpdb->query("UPDATE wp_users SET `status` = '1' WHERE `wp_users`.`ID` = $user_id;");
}
$user_id;
}
add_action('init','add_session_mitesh');
function delete_session_mitesh() {
global $wpdb;
if(is_user_logged_in())
{
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$wpdb->query("UPDATE wp_users SET `status` = '0' WHERE `wp_users`.`ID` = $user_id;");
}
$user_id;
}
add_action('wp_logout', 'delete_session_mitesh');
and
add_filter('my_custom_actions', 'my_custom_post_actions', 10, 3);
function my_custom_post_actions ($custom_actions, $post_id, $form_data) {
// if the post is of type 'provider'
$postType = get_post_type( $post_id );
if ( $postType == 'provider' )
{
// set the value to 1
$custom_actions[] = array( 'meta_key' => 'wpcf-my-status', 'meta_value' =>'1' );
}
return $custom_actions;
}
Ooh, I am sorry! I accidentally marked the thread as resolved so I reopen it
Please try this:
1) Add below codes into your theme/functions.php:
add_action('wp', 'update_online_users_status');
function update_online_users_status(){
if(is_user_logged_in()){
// get the online users list
if(($logged_in_users = get_transient('users_online')) === false) $logged_in_users = array();
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$current_user = $current_user->ID;
$current_time = current_time('timestamp');
if(!isset($logged_in_users[$current_user]) || ($logged_in_users[$current_user] < ($current_time - (15 * 60)))){
$logged_in_users[$current_user] = $current_time;
set_transient('users_online', $logged_in_users, 30 * 60);
}
}
}
add_shortcode('author_is_user_logged_in', 'author_is_user_logged_in');
function author_is_user_logged_in($user_id) {
if(!$user_id){
echo $user_id = get_the_author_meta( 'ID' );
}
// get the online users list
$logged_in_users = get_transient('users_online');
print_r($logged_in_users);
$res = 0;
// online, if (s)he is in the list and last activity was less than 15 minutes ago
if(isset($logged_in_users[$user_id]) && ($logged_in_users[$user_id] > (current_time('timestamp') - (15 * 60)))){
$res= 1;
};
return $res;
}
2) Dashboard-> Toolset-> Front-end Content
section "Third-party shortcode arguments", add the custom shortcode name “author_is_user_logged_in”
3) Use above shortcode in wpv-conditional shortcode like this:
[wpv-conditional if="( '[author_is_user_logged_in]' eq '1' ) " debug="true"]
Author is connected now
[/wpv-conditional]
Dear Luo,
thank you so so much for your support!!! Your solution worked like a charm!!!
1)The only issue is that before the "Author is connected" appears that code:
1Array ( [1] => 1495437345 )
How could I fix this?
Also how could I achieve the following?
2) Show in a view all the "provider" posts of the logged in users.
3) Add a filter in the post type's parametric search so the visitors can choose to see posts of the authors that are logged in?
Thank you!
Q1) Please modify the PHP codes as below:
add_action('wp', 'update_online_users_status');
function update_online_users_status(){
if(is_user_logged_in()){
// get the online users list
if(($logged_in_users = get_transient('users_online')) === false) $logged_in_users = array();
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$current_user = $current_user->ID;
$current_time = current_time('timestamp');
if(!isset($logged_in_users[$current_user]) || ($logged_in_users[$current_user] < ($current_time - (15 * 60)))){
$logged_in_users[$current_user] = $current_time;
set_transient('users_online', $logged_in_users, 30 * 60);
}
}
}
add_shortcode('author_is_user_logged_in', 'author_is_user_logged_in');
function author_is_user_logged_in($user_id) {
if(!$user_id){
$user_id = get_the_author_meta( 'ID' );
}
// get the online users list
$logged_in_users = get_transient('users_online');
$res = 0;
// online, if (s)he is in the list and last activity was less than 15 minutes ago
if(isset($logged_in_users[$user_id]) && ($logged_in_users[$user_id] > (current_time('timestamp') - (15 * 60)))){
$res= 1;
};
return $res;
}
Q2) and Q3) they are new questions.
Please create new thread for the new questions, you can assign it to me directly, thanks
Perfect, Luo thank you so so much!!!
