[Resolved] Only one headline when calling site users

Tell us what you are trying to do?

I need a list with users on the site divided into a list with departments as headlines. Like this:

----->
GENERAL STAFF
Jane Doe
John Bilkrav

SOME OTHER DEPARTMENT
Ben Oliver
Elsa Star

THE LAST DEPARTMENT
Cole Ridencen
Sam Ghin
----->

Is there any documentation that you are following?
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/conditional-html-output-in-views/

This is my code:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types usermeta='department']' eq '1' )"]
<h2>GENERAL STAFF</h2>
[wpv-user field="user_firstname"]
[/wpv-conditional]

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types usermeta='department']' eq '2' )"]
<h2>SOME OTHER DEPARTMENT</h2>
[wpv-user field="user_firstname"]
[/wpv-conditional]

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types usermeta='department']' eq '3' )"]
<h2>THE LAST DEPARTMENT</h2>
[wpv-user field="user_firstname"]
[/wpv-conditional]

But the result is like:
----->
GENERAL STAFF
Jane Doe
GENERAL STAFF
John Bilkrav

SOME OTHER DEPARTMENT
Ben Oliver
SOME OTHER DEPARTMENT
Elsa Star

THE LAST DEPARTMENT
Cole Ridencen
THE LAST DEPARTMENT
Sam Ghin

----->

Which is perfectly logical but wrong for my use 🙂

Hi Jesper

You need to create separate queries for each.

You can make just one View and re-cycle it.

So create a View to display users. Add a Query Filter for the department custom field, and specify that the value should come from a shortcode attribute (give the attribute a name, maybe "department").

Out the user name and whatever else you require from each user.

Then where you want such a list to appear, insert the View as many times as needed, e.g.

<h2>General Staff</h2>
[wpv-view name="user-list" deparment="1"]
<h2>Some other department</h2>
[wpv-view name="user-list" deparment="2"]
...etc...

See https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/passing-arguments-to-views/

Thanx Nigel 🙂
So far so good.
1.
I have made the custom user field 'Department'.
2.
And made the two views. 'Department'-view which is calling the 'Department child'-view with all the details need to show.

But I cannot get my head around the filter part...

There is no query filter option for the 'Department'-field?

Also I guess that it would be the 'user filer'-option I should use?

But who does the interaction work between the two views and who is the query specified to select the value from the custom field?

Hi Jesper

You should only make one View, not two, and then you can re-use this one View as many times as you need, specifying the department each time you insert the View.

There seems to be a problem, though, in that the user field you created, I don't see it in the dropdown for the Query Filter for the View.

In my screenshot you can see that I created a User Field Group "Profile fields" which has one custom field, "Favourite team".

I can't see a Department field in your screenshot of the same dropdown.

Can you check again?

If you added a User Field Group at Toolset > Custom Fields then you should see the fields from that group listed in the Query Filter dropdown.

Are you using the latest plugin versions?

Now I got it to work! Thank you for all your help 🙂

It was a mystery why the custom field did not show up. Maybe some sort bug in rare cases made it not work properly?
I delete it and made a new one with the same name and that showed up...

Limited the view down to one and inserted the shortcode attribute department="".

Like this:
<h2>REDAKTION CAP&DESIGN</h2>
[wpv-view name="departments-contact-page" department="1"]

<h2>SÄLJ/EKONOMI</h2>
[wpv-view name="departments-contact-page" department="2"]

<h2>ARATELJÉ/PRODUKTION</h2>
[wpv-view name="departments-contact-page" department="3"]

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
