I haven’t an ready to use solution. However I think you should enhance the query, so that you have the field of the users inside this. I think the follow example demonstrate it more. The two filter hooks are necessary and get an result for the query like this: SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wpbeta_posts.ID FROM wpbeta_posts JOIN … Read more
You can use user_register add_action(‘user_register’, ‘wpse42506_user_register’, 10, 3); function wpse42506_user_register( $user_ID ) { // do stuff here } If you want to just use the user information, you can use get_userdata http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_userdata If you need more control, you can initiate a new WP_User http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_User
You forgot option 3 – Add a special table in which the pair (user,post id) will be the index. Ok I am not a MySQL person so maybe it is too extreme, but maybe having two tables one with users as index and one with posts will be even better. The thing about performance is … Read more
There is apparently an open ticket about this bug. Here is a workaround that I tested: $args = array( ‘meta_key’ => ‘last_name’, ‘role’ => ‘guest-teacher’ ); $wp_user_query = new WP_User_Query($args); $wp_user_query->query_orderby = str_replace( ‘user_login’, ‘wp_usermeta.meta_value’, $wp_user_query->query_orderby ); $wp_user_query->query(); $authors = $wp_user_query->get_results(); Problem with this is that it runs the query twice.
I came across a tutorial about ‘Custom User Taxonomies in WordPress‘ and there is a plugin based on that ‘User Taxonomies‘ but these are for creating taxonomies for Users. Have a read thought the tutorial it might help. I think what you’re talking about is to associating posts’ taxonomies with users. I think you need … Read more
I think the problem here is that in the process of violating this rule, you’ve created confusion and problems: do 1 thing per statement, 1 statement per line Coupled with another problem: Passing arrays to the APIs which get stored as serialised PHP ( security issue ) And another: Always check your assumptions it ignores … Read more
No. There are no hooks or filters to add an input field to the create user form. Maybe it is possible to add an input field via jQuery. I have not tested it. If it is pssible to add an input field, than it should be possible to save this information because the process of … Read more
After examining the code and much trial and error, I have a solution: There is a filter – user_profile_update_errors – that is called in the file wp-admin/includes/user.php just after WordPress does it’s own input validation. This filter allows plugins to return their own errors by adding them to a referenced WP_Error class. If any errors … Read more
Examining the comments for the properties in the WP_User class reveals that allcaps is: All capabilities the user has, including individual and role based. And caps is: The individual capabilities the user has been given. But you probably shouldn’t be using the properties directly. WP_User has a has_cap method that should be used instead, as … Read more
Hi @Holidaymaine: Not sure where you are doing wrong, but try the following instead which is a self contained test.php file you can drop into the root of your website and load in your browser with http://yoursite.com/test.php (assuming you replace yoursite.com with your site’s domain! Also, note how I adding in a WHERE {$wpdb->usermeta}.meta_key = … Read more
