Different "Type"s for different users

    Hi,

    Is it possible to only show prescribed ‘types’ to different users? (Like each user has their own ‘types’ menu.) I am using the plugin for customer error logging. Users cannot register their own account. I will be registering known customers and give them their username and password. I am using the ‘type’ option for sites or ‘places’ on which the error occurs. I don’t want all users to see all ‘sites’ that I service. I only want a users to see the available sites that they are responsible for.

    Any help will be much appreciated.

    Hi MadnessMedia,

    What you’re asking is technically possible, but it will require a fair amount of custom code. I won’t be able to help you achieve it but I can point you in the right direction.

    What you want to do is:

    1. Register your type taxonomy
    2. Display the taxonomy terms on the user profile
    3. Select the available terms for this user from there
    4. Hook into get_terms() on the front-end and
    1. Make sure you’re working with the type taxonomy
    2. Get the allowed terms from the user metas
    3. Exclude the terms that aren’t allowed

    Hope this helps.
