Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a custom field select type on a User and would like to list all of the posts as options in that select field from a custom post type (key: id, value: title), basically to create a link between the user and an associated custom post.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/linking-dropdown-in-custom-post-field-to-user-id/ - is this still applicable to the latest versions? I just can't seem to get anything to happen through that filter hook 'option_wpcf-fields'.
[code]
add_filter('option_wpcf-fields', 'fill_our_people');
function fill_our_people($fields) {
foreach ($fields as &$field) {
if ($field['id'] == 'team-member-associated') {
$field["data"]["options"] = array();
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'team-member'
);
$our_people = get_posts( $args );
foreach ($our_people as $team_member) {
$key = $field["id"] . $team_member->post_title;
$field["data"]["options"][$key] = array(
"title" => $team_member->post_title,
"value" => $team_member->ID
);
}
}
}
return $fields;
}
[/code]
Hi,
Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.
The filter "option_wpcf-fields" works for the post custom fields, but not for the user custom fields.
You can update your code to use the "wpt_field_options" filter, which works for both types of custom fields:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/types-api-filters/#wpt_field_options
Example:
add_filter( 'wpt_field_options', 'fill_our_people', 10, 3);
function fill_our_people( $options, $title, $type ){
switch( $title ){
case 'Team Member Associated':
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'team-member',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_status' => 'publish',
);
$posts_array = get_posts( $args );
foreach ($posts_array as $post) {
$options[] = array(
'#value' => $post->ID,
'#title' => $post->post_title,
);
}
break;
}
return $options;
}
Note: Please make sure that the 'Team Member Associated' is replaced with the exact 'Field name' (and not the 'Field slug') of your user field.

Waqar
