Problem: I have a page on my site that displays information about a User using Types and Views shortcodes. This works fine when I want to show information about the current User, but I cannot figure out how to show information about a different User.

Solution: Use a URL parameter to define the variable User ID used in the Driver Contract page. Build the markup for the administrator's link to the Driver Contract page with the proper URL parameter, based on the User in the list loop, something like this:

<wpv-loop>
...
<a href="http://yoursite.com/contract/?user_id=[wpv-user field='ID']">view</a>
...
</wpv-loop>

In the content of the contract page, you can access that user ID using the shortcode wpv-search-term:

[wpv-search-term param='user_id']

You can pass that value into your template's User shortcodes:

[types usermeta="contract-number" user_id="[wpv-search-term param='user_id']"][/types]

Problem:
When I create a View displaying a post Type, and include the View in a Post of Type as the View Queries, the current Post where the View is inserted is not displayed by the View.

Solution:
Head to your View, and uncheck the Checkbox on top of your Views Settings:
Query Options: "Don't include current page in query result"

After you unchecked that Checkbox also the Post where the View is inserted will be queried by this View.
