I have a repeater field on a post called ‘episode_staff’.
Within this field, there is a sub field called ‘episode_staff_member’.
The subfield is a user field type.
So I add an ‘episode_staff’ field and then select a user in the episode_staff_member subfield. Each of those users has custom fields assigned to them, like ‘twitter_username’. I want to get the values of those custom fields.
Here is the code I have now, which prints the name of the user but I can’t get any of the custom fields to display.
<?php
if( have_rows('episode_staff') ):
while ( have_rows('episode_staff') ) : the_row();
$user = get_sub_field('episode_staff_member');
?>
<div class="masthead-single">
<?php foreach ($user as $user): ?>
<h4 class="masthead-name"><?php echo get_user_meta($user, 'first_name', true) ?> <?php echo get_user_meta($user, 'last_name', true) ?></h4>
<div class="masthead-title"><?php echo get_sub_field('twitter_username', $user) ?></div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile;
endif; ?>
Any tips?
Hi @taylorscollon
I believe you can get the user ID by using this code:
$user_id = $user->ID
With that user ID, you can get the custom field attached to a user. Please take a look at this page to learn more about it: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/how-to-get-values-from-a-user/.
I hope this helps.
Hi @acf_support — thanks for the reply.
I changed my code to this, but still no luck:
<?php
if( have_rows('episode_staff') ):
while ( have_rows('episode_staff') ) : the_row();
$user = get_sub_field('episode_staff_member');
?>
<div class="masthead-single">
<?php foreach ($user as $user):
$user_id = $user->ID ?>
<h4 class="masthead-name"><?php echo get_user_meta($user, 'first_name', true) ?> <?php echo get_user_meta($user, 'last_name', true) ?></h4>
<div class="masthead-title"><?php echo get_sub_field('twitter_username', 'user' . $user_id) ?>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile;
endif; ?>
I believe it is a problem with the loop, as the foreach loop is cycling through 10 times and there are only 2 episode_staff rows…
Okay, never mind. I figured it out. Here is my working code in case anyone has a similar problem.
<?php
if( have_rows('episode_staff') ):
while ( have_rows('episode_staff') ) : the_row();
$user_id = get_sub_field('episode_staff_member')[ID];
?>
<div class="masthead-single">
<h4 class="masthead-name"><?php echo get_sub_field('episode_staff_member')['user_firstname'] ?> <?php echo get_sub_field('episode_staff_member')['user_lastname'] ?></h4>
<ul>
<li><?php echo get_sub_field('episode_staff_member')['user_email'] ?></li>
<li><?php echo get_field('twitter_username', 'user_'. $user_id) ?></li>
</ul>
</div>
<?php endwhile;
endif; ?>
