Filter by user name ?
Hi
I don’t know why, but my filter by user name (I attach my custom post type to a “customer”) doesn’t work: the drop-down field contains only “empty” and “not empty”
Could you help me with that?
Thanks very much
Hi Marc,
You can give me more information about your column?
What type of column did you add? If it is a custom field column, please send me the settings so I can try to reproduce your problem
Hi,
Yes, it’s a custom field, created with WCK plugin (https://www.cozmoslabs.com/wck-custom-fields-custom-post-types-plugin/), and unserialized with the addon WCK plugin (downlodable here : https://www.cozmoslabs.com/docs/wordpress-creation-kit-documentation/how-to/store-custom-field-meta-unserialized-fields/).
It’s simply a user ID, for which I choose the field type “user name (user ID)”.
Thanks.
Hi Marc,
Can you send me a copy of the addon (for develop/testing purpose) so I can test it for you.
BTW, when I go to the website you’ve send me for unserializing data, I read that unserialized values are stored as follows
$meta_name_arg . '_' . $field_slug .'_'. $n
I think our plugin cannot work with this as it does not know how to handle this key structure. Of course it cannot handle serialized data as well. I need to test this to be sure. Filtering only looks for the key you’ve selected in the column. Does it display the data correct?
Did you receive my precedent message ? It doesn’t display…
Hi,
Can you give me a mail address ? I can create you an account on my own platform, cause I’m using the pro version of wordpress.org/plugins/wck-custom-fields-and-custom-post-types-creator/ and I have only one key license.
The meta_key of my CPT is indeed clients_netlinking_clients_1, which is a user ID.
By the way, datas are correctly displayed: I wish send you a screenshot in order to show you that the name of my clients is well displayed in the table, with a link to access to user profile associated.
Issue occurs only in the filtering field (dropdown) which dispalys only “Empty” and “Not Empty”.
Problem is fixed outside this forum.
When the Custom Field is linked to the single values ( clients_netlinking_clients_1 ) then the filter dropdown is filled correctly. This issue is solved.
