[Plugin: Optional Content] Please help – specific user only not working?

  • I installed the Optional Content plugin and I want to display specific content for a specific user.

    When using the plugin, I clicked the [i] button in my toolbar, then clicked ‘Only to specific user’ and then chose the username (example: bob45 – user id is (6)). Then I click OK and the following appears in my visual editor:

    [optional_content type=” ]
    Content here
    [/optional_content]

    I asked someone about it and they said it seems like it’s broken because it used to work and now it’s not working for them either.

    Could someone please help me?

  • Hey Tony, in “plugins\optional-content\tinymce_plugin.js” starting on line 46 remove this section of code :

    else if(type == 'user-id'){
		jQuery(".oc_field").hide();
		jQuery("#users_grp").show();
	}

    and then on line 169 that looks like this :

    <option><?php echo $user->user_login . " (" . $user->ID . ")"; ?></option>

    change it to this :

    <option value="<?php echo $user->ID ?>"><?php echo $user->user_login . " (" . $user->ID . ")"; ?></option>

    That should fix that little piece of functionality for you ??

    Seems that w/WP 3.1.2 this plugin is leaving out some code when you try and hide content based on username. The full first line needs to be:

    [optional_content type=’user-id’ value=’1′ ]

    where ‘1’ is the number next to the username.

    Hope that helps — the above fix didn’t work for me as the code was completely different.
