In the Bricks Facebook group a user asked:
I need help with Metabox and Bricks!
I have created a CPT "SalesRep" with multiple custom fields that has relationship with User.
In User Meta I have a Custom Field SalesRep, a dropdown that is being fed by "SalesRep" CPT Title (it’s a Post type Custom field)
In Bricks page I want to display Sales Rep that is assigned to the current logged in user along with their (SalesRep') contact details. I have no problem displaying the SalesRep name as it is anyway stored in the UserMeta but I have no idea how to pull in their phone number and email which are Custom field for SalesRep CPTs.
Any ideas?
Consider the following scenario.
- CPT: SalesRep
- Custom fields: Phone number and Email
- User Meta: SalesRep (Type: Post)
- Sarah Johnson (a post of the SalesRep CPT) has been set as the Sales Rep for User A
- David Wilson has been set as the Sales Rep for User B
Requirement: When User A logs into the site and visits the Page (say, "Profile") he/she should see Sarah Johnson as their Sales Rep. When User B logs into the site and visits the Profile page, he/she should see David Wilson as their Sales Rep.
This Pro tutorial shows how we can configure a Bricks query loop to output the post data of the SalesRep CPT that is associated with the current logged-in user.
Setup
SalesRep CPT:
SalesRep CPT's custom fields:
'User Fields' field group:
When editing User A:
When editing User B:
After implementing the tutorial, Profile page on the front end:
When User A is logged in:
When User B is logged in:
Bricks editor
Add a Section and inside its Container, a h2 Heading that reads say, "Your Sales Rep".
Add a Block below it and enable query loop.
Click the loop icon. Enable PHP query editor and paste:
