Display Current User

Hi there!

For this you’ll need to create a custom page template. Something like this: https://developer.www.ads-software.com/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/page-templates/

In your page template you’ll be able to use some PHP code to get the current user ID, then send it to the shortcode. The magic will be done with the do_shortcode WP function: https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/do_shortcode/

So all you need to do is to generate the shortcode text on the fly (using the ID) and send it to that function!

Right, I already created the page template and the shortcode will only work with a specific ID at a time. I’m not seeing where I can pull the current player ID information that is connected to the currently logged in user.

The current player ID and the current logged in user ID values are not the same.

Ok, so I’m fairly close. I’m able to set parameters in which if a user is logged in and has a player or staff role to show the player or staff member post the user is connected to. I’m now having trouble figuring out how to call the post meta and terms to display the photo, stats, and player information. Any assistance to that would be greatly appreciated.

Here’s a sample of the code for if a user has a player role and player post set up:

<?php elseif ( is_user_logged_in() && current_user_can('sp_player') ): ?>
            <div class="row">
				<?php
					global $current_user;
					get_currentuserinfo();
					$author_query = array(
						'posts_per_page' => '-1',
						'author' => $current_user->ID,
						'post_type' => 'sp_player'
					);
					$author_posts = new WP_Query($author_query);
					while($author_posts->have_posts()) : $author_posts->the_post();
				?>
                <div class="col-md-4" id="left-sidebar">
                	<div class="player-thumbnail"></div>
                <!-- end .col-md-4 --></div>
                <div class="col-md-8" id="right-sidebar">
                	<h2 class="has-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
                    <div class="player-info">

                    <!-- end .player-info --></div>
                    <div class="player-stats">

                    <!-- end .player-stats --></div>
                <!-- end .col-md-8 --></div>
                <?php endwhile; ?>
            <!-- end .row --></div>

I’ve tried simple PHP calls like <?php the_content(); ?> and <?php the_post_thumbnail ?> to no avail. I just need to print that information in the different spots and I’m all set.

Hi!

I see what you mean now. It looks like you’ve got quite far there! Helping with this would be a bit out of our scope though, unfortunately. The player data is set in the custom post type, so the thumbnail is the right function, but you need to get the right post ID and create a loop there for this

Actually, I was able to figure it out. I found a thread deep in previous forum posts for this plugin’s support that linked the SportsPress API functions. I was able to echo every portion I needed thanks to this list. If anyone else comes across this thread, firstly here’s the link to SportsPress’s API functions located in their Github (and in the plugin’s includes folder):

https://github.com/ThemeBoy/SportsPress/blob/master/includes/sp-api-functions.php

All you need to do is echo the function you want to display, for example:
<?php echo sp_get_player_number($id); ?>

You can replace $id with $post->ID if it gets confusing. You also need to declare a new call, such as $player = new SP_Player($id);

I’ll post my example if anyone needs it.

<?php elseif ( is_user_logged_in() && current_user_can('sp_player') ): ?>
            <div class="row">
				<?php
					$current_user = get_current_user_id();
					$id = get_the_ID();
					$player = new SP_Player($id);
					$author_query = array(
						'posts_per_page' => '-1',
						'author' => $current_user,
						'post_type' => 'sp_player'
					);
					$author_posts = new WP_Query($author_query);
					while($author_posts->have_posts()) : $author_posts->the_post();

				?>
                <div class="col-md-4" id="left-sidebar">
                	<div class="player-thumbnail"><?php echo sp_player_photo($id); ?></div>
                    <div class="player-">
                        <?php wp_nav_menu(
                            array(
                                'theme_location' => 'primary',
                                'container'      => 'ul',
                                'menu_class'     => 'navbar-nav nav',
                                'echo'           => true,
                                'link_before'    => '<span>',
                                'link_after'     => '</span>',
                                'items_wrap'     => '<ul class="navbar-nav nav">%3$s</ul>',

                    <div class="player-info">
