[Resolved] types_render_usermeta_field unable to select for specific user (id)

I'm using Easy Digital Downloads with Marketify theme.

Types is allowing me to pull custom field information correctly and works wonderfully.

However, I am unable to pull a User custom field from one particular template, the EDD receipt (shortcode-receipt.php)

This is the code I'm using

 <tr>
			<td><strong>Picked up from:</strong></td>
			<td><?php echo(types_render_usermeta_field( "suburb", array("user_id" => $user['id'])));?></td>
		</tr>

I have this working from another template without having to specify the user_id so I know the 'suburb' field is accessible with Types.

I also know the $user['id'] is correct as when I echo directly I get the correct user id which is 4.

If I hard code "user_id" => 4 this doesn't work either.

Not really sure what I'm doing wrong.

Any advice appreciated.
Thanks,
David.

Just realised where to find debug info so pasted below.

Still unable to resolve. I even tried hard coding the user id on the product listing but it displays a blank suburb. Simply seems the user_id => isn't working.

Can you please mention the type of the user meta field (i.e. text, URL, numeric or etc)? And also please confirm if following code works or not:

<?php echo types_render_usermeta_field( "suburb", array( "user_current" => true ) ); ?>

This code should return the value for "currently logged in" user's meta field (https://toolset.com/documentation/functions/#textfield). Also please try adding a prefix to field name as "wpcf-suburb" if it was created using Types. You can try this prefix thing with your mentioned syntax also.

Finally, can you please copy/paste the debug information in the special debug information area on this page? So I will be able to analyze it properly. I have enabled debug information area for your next reply. Please see https://toolset.com/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/ for more details.

Hi Waqas,

Thanks for the response, much appreciated.

I don't see a debug information area on this page, only a screen shots upload. Is there any other way to send you the debug information?

I've tried your suggestion with "user_current" => true but still nothing is appearing.

The field is a textfield and it was created using Easy Digital Downloads Front End Submissions User registration form (image attached). I passed control of this to Types. Also tried with wpcf-suburb just in case but again nothing appearing.

Thanks,
David.

Hi Waqas,

I did some more experimenting. Realising that the currently logged in user is ID 4 and my script is also looking for user ID 4, I hard coded to look for user ID 2 instead (this is actually the ID it should be looking for) and it's now finding the suburb correctly

So the issue appears to be that it's not working if the current logged in user ID is the same ID as the one I'm looking for.

In all honesty this would never happen on my site since they should be different users. Appears I'm grabbing the wrong user ID (4).

It's an issue nonetheless, but not for me anymore.
I suppose "user_current" => true not working is also an issue.

Happy to close this unless the above is still deemed a problem.

Regards,
David.

I am glad to know that you have found the cause of this problem and have resolved it.

"user_current" outputs user field for the logged in user. If the field you were looking for belongs to another user, it won't be accessible. It will also won't be accessible if current user has no such field attached (or in other words have no value available in this field - visually returning an empty value).

In short, for accessing the fields of another user, you must supply the User ID.

Thanks for clarifying and my apologies for closing this so late.
