Hi Long,

Thank you for the support!

I have managed to pull the name and photo to the meta box group now (had some help).

However, it now does not show the data on the single post type. It is just blank, even though it populates on the meta box group skin side. I did it using shortcodes.

//Just the name of co-author
add_shortcode("get_co_user_name", function (){
	global $post;
	$post_type = get_post_type($post->ID);
	if(is_singular() && "research" === $post_type)
	{
		$field_id = rwmb_get_value( "academicadd_co_author", $post->ID, false ); 
	foreach($field_id as $user)
		{$user_name = get_userdata(intval($user['academicacademic_user_coauthor']))->display_name;
		return $user_name;
		}}});

//Avatar of co-author
add_shortcode("get_co_user_avatar", function (){
	global $post;
	$post_type = get_post_type($post->ID);
	if(is_singular() && "research" === $post_type)
	{
		$field_id = rwmb_get_value( "academicadd_co_author", $post->ID, false ); 
	foreach($field_id as $user)
		{$avatar_url = get_avatar_url($user['academicacademic_user_coauthor']);
		 $main_html_markup = "<img src='$avatar_url'>";
	};
	return $main_html_markup;	
		}});

Hi Long,

Just tried it out with the user_role and the edited_user_role, but it didn't quite do as I need.

As an administrator, I could see the custom field on my customer user, but also on the seller user. I only want them to be seen by the administrator on the relevant user (so on customer, I just seen their fields and on seller I see the ones unique to them). This is only to make it easier to know which are available to them and should be edited. It's not an urgent task, means when I go in to make edits, I only see the custom fields that are relevant to them.

Hope I clarified!

Many thanks,
Yasmine

Hi Long,

I checked this and now works perfectly! Thank you so much for your help!

Yasmine

Amazing. That did it, thank you!

Hi Long,

I only have the issue when I use the URL. For example, in a button that then links to that URL. I am also able to output as text! But if I add the URL as a link then when that button is pressed it outputs as "array"

Oh ok. So in essence there are 3 stages:
1 get the group
2 get the subgroup
3. Get the user

Im a bit confused by the documentation, as it says to use get_userdata - not for the first part, which makes complete sense to get the post's information first, but for the third part when I need to find the selected user, do I not use get_usermeta?

add_shortcode( 'co_author_loop_photo', function() {
$user = get_post_meta( 'academic_user_coauthor', get_queried_object_id() );
	$coauthor = rwmb_meta( 'academicadd_co_author' );
$coauthor = $coauthors ?? [];
foreach ( $coauthors as $coauthor ) {
    $coauthor_details = $coauthor['academic_user_coauthor'] ?? '';
	
$co_author_photos = get_userdata( $coauthor_details, $custom_avatar, false ); 
	foreach ( $co_author_photos as $co_author_photo ) {
    $image = RWMB_Image_Field::file_info( $co_author_photo, array( 'size' => 'thumbnail' ) );
    echo '<img src="' . $image['url'] . '">';
		return $image;
	
}
});
