Hi! I just found this and it is EXACTLY what I need. Let me explain the scenario:
I’m creating a shop where customers have access to a page where they can see some products that are assigned to them.
So, naturally, I created a “User” field for the “product” post type, with the possibility (this is required) to assign multiple users, and to filter them by the “client” role. I assigned my test user to some of my test products and proceeded to create my loop. Here it is:
<?php
// The Query
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'product',
'meta_key' => 'assign_client',
'meta_value' => '2'
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
// The Loop
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
echo '<ul>';
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$the_query->the_post();
echo '<li>' . get_the_title() . '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
} else {
// no posts found
}
/* Restore original Post Data */
wp_reset_postdata();
?>
As you can see, the name of my field is “assign_client” and my user’s ID is 2 (I was planning on using get_current_user_id() so it would filter by the logged in user). Evidently, it failed.
That’s when I found this entry. Now, I understand (I think) the overall idea of the “Relationship” field, what I don’t get is how to assign a user to a post type through it. I changed my “assign_client” field to “Relationship”, but on the product page, all you can select through are post types, not users.
Can you give me a hint on this? Thank you in advance!
Francisco
