Support › MB User Meta › Pre-selecting terms in an taxonomy-advanced fieldResolved
I have a taxonomy_advanced
meta field in a user meta box. The taxonomy is a non-hierarchical custom user taxonomy.
What I want to do is pre-select the choices/terms in the taxonomy field based on the terms currently assigned to the user that is being edited in WP admin. I'm using the rwmb_field_meta
filter and the function below to filter the meta value when the field loads.
$meta
contains a comma-separated list of assigned term IDs as expected. But only the first term in the taxonomy field is pre-selected when the user edit admin screen is loaded.
What do I have to do differently to pre-select ALL the assigned terms in the taxonomy meta field?
public function populate_user_tags_meta( $meta, $field, $saved ) {
if( is_admin() ) {
// Get the user ID for the currently viewed user profile.
if( defined('IS_PROFILE_PAGE') && IS_PROFILE_PAGE ) {
// If is current user's profile (profile.php)
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
} elseif( !empty($_GET['user_id']) && is_numeric($_GET['user_id']) ) {
// If is another user's profile page
$user_id = $_GET['user_id'];
} else {
// Otherwise something is wrong.
die( 'No user ID defined.' );
}
// Get the user tags currently assigned to this user.
$current_users_tags = wp_get_object_terms( $user_id, 'wv_user_tag', array('fields' => 'ids') );
// Populate meta value with comma-separated string of currently assigned user tag IDs.
if( !empty($current_users_tags) && !is_wp_error($current_users_tags) ) {
$meta = implode( ',', array_filter( array_unique( (array) $current_users_tags ) ) );
} else {
$meta = '';
}
}
return $meta;
}
Hi Ryan,
I've tested your code and found that the $meta
needs to be an array. So you just need to change the line to:
$meta = array_filter( array_unique( (array) $current_users_tags ) );
I also created a video to demo that: http://recordit.co/AcdsXqaeIM. Please take a look.
That was it! Works perfectly now. Thank you!
