This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to allow my Users to "favorite" posts.
Solution:
- Add a number custom field to the User's profile. This number will store the favorite post ID.
- Create a Form that edits the current User's profile
- Remove the number field from the Form and replace it with a generic select field that stores the value of the favorite post ID:
[cred_generic_field field='your-lockbox-agent-id' type='select' class='' urlparam='']
{
"required":0,
"validate_format":0,
"default":[[types usermeta="your-lockbox-agent-id" output="raw" user_current="true"][/types]],
"options":[[wpv-view name='list-of-lockbox-agents-view-for-cred-forms']]
}
[/cred_generic_field]
- Create a View of posts that will provide the options for the generic select field. Use this loop format:
<wpv-loop>
[wpv-item index=1]
{"value":"[wpv-post-id]","label":"[wpv-post-title]"}
[wpv-item index=other]
,{"value":"[wpv-post-id]","label":"[wpv-post-title]"}
</wpv-loop>
- Add the following custom filter code to your child theme's functions.php file:
add_filter( 'wpv_filter_wpv_view_shortcode_output', 'prefix_clean_view_output', 5, 2 );
function prefix_clean_view_output( $out, $id ) {
$ids = array( 12345, 67890 );
if ( in_array( $id, $ids )) {
$start = strpos( $out, '<!-- wpv-loop-start -->' );
if (
$start !== false
&& strrpos( $out, '<!-- wpv-loop-end -->', $start ) !== false
) {
$start = $start + strlen( '<!-- wpv-loop-start -->' );
$out = substr( $out , $start );
$end = strrpos( $out, '<!-- wpv-loop-end -->' );
$out = substr( $out, 0, $end );
} else {
$start = strpos( $out, '>' );
if ( $start !== false) {
$out = substr( $out, $start + 1 );
$end = strpos( $out, '<' );
$out = trim(substr( $out, 0, $end ));
}
}
}
return $out;
}
- Replace 12345, 67890 with the View's ID, or a comma-separated list of View IDs if you want to apply this filter to more than one View.
- Add the following custom code that will capture the selected post ID and save it in the User's favorite post field:
add_action('cred_save_data', 'save_new_lockbox_agent',10,2);
function save_new_lockbox_agent($user_id, $form_data) {
$ids = array( 38, 78 );
if( in_array( $form_data['id'], $ids )){
$agent = $_POST['your-lockbox-agent-id'];
update_user_meta($user_id, 'wpcf-your-lockbox-agent-id', $agent );
}
}
