[Plugin: WP Favorite Posts] Display a user's favorites when viewing their profile

Interested in the answer as well.

Try my crazy script inside author.php on your theme ?? :

<?php
	$curauth = (isset($_GET['author_name'])) ? get_user_by('slug', $author_name) : get_userdata(intval($author));
	global $current_user;
    get_currentuserinfo();
	$meta_query = mysql_query("
		SELECT distinct($wpdb->usermeta.meta_value) FROM
		$wpdb->posts,  $wpdb->postmeta, $wpdb->users, $wpdb->usermeta
		WHERE $wpdb->postmeta.post_id = $wpdb->posts.id
		AND $wpdb->usermeta.user_id = $wpdb->users.id
		AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_key = 'wpfp_favorites'
		AND $wpdb->usermeta.meta_key = 'wpfp_favorites'
		AND $wpdb->users.id = '".$curauth->ID."'");

	while($array_meta = mysql_fetch_array($meta_query))
	{
		$meta = explode('"',$array_meta['meta_value']);
	}

	class IndexFilter extends FilterIterator {
		public function __construct (array $data) {
			parent::__construct(new ArrayIterator($data));
		}   

		public function accept () {
			return ($this->key() % 2);
		}
	}

	$arr_meta	= $meta;
	$posts_id = array();

	foreach (new IndexFilter($arr_meta) as $key => $value) {
    $posts_id[$key] = $value;
}
?>
<h2>Favorite Posts</h2>
<ul>
<?php
$data_posts_id = array_reverse($posts_id);
foreach($data_posts_id as $show_posts_id){
	echo '<li><a href="'.get_permalink($show_posts_id).'" title="Permanent link to '.get_the_title($show_posts_id).'">'.get_the_title($show_posts_id).'</a></li>';
}
?>

good luck ??

This is how I get a user’s favorite posts with thumbnail in author.php:

<?php $curauth = (isset($_GET['author_name'])) ? get_user_by('slug', $author_name) : get_userdata(intval($author)); ?>

<?php $user_favs = wpfp_get_users_favorites($curauth->display_name); ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($user_favs as $user_fav) :
echo "<li><a href='".get_permalink($user_fav)."' title='". get_the_title($user_fav) ."'>" . get_the_post_thumbnail( $user_fav, array(335,335) ) . "</a></li>";
endforeach ; ?>

Hi!

I am in desperate need of help! I tried pasting cip6791s code in my author.php-file, deleted it again as it didn’t quite look the way I wanted, and somehow, now some sort of “post template” for the favourite page has showed up and refuses to go away. I have tried replacing my author-php-file with the original file from the theme, but it’s still there!

I’m guessing it’s retrieving some command from another file, but I can’t figure out which one it is. Any suggestions / solutions?

Looks like this

Never mind, solved it!

And btw, Khoiruddin, your code worked perfectly! Thank you!!

solveigm > You are wellcome ??

Hi Khoiruddin I tried your code it returned error.

I need to display current user’s favourite posts in the profile page, I am able to create a page say “favourites” and link it in the profile page, but I want to show the actual content of that favourites page listed on my profile page not a favourites link to the lists.

Can you please help me out?
Thanks in advance

This is a simpler way by just getting the users meta:

$favorite_post_ids = get_usermeta($user_id, 'wpfp_favorites');
include("wpfp-page-template.php");

So obviously you make a copy of the wpfp-page-template.php and put it in your themes folder!

The above code will throw out errors if a user does not have any favorites.

The correct code is

<?php $curauth = (isset($_GET['author_name'])) ? get_user_by('slug', $author_name) : get_userdata(intval($author)); ?>

<?php $user_favs = wpfp_get_users_favorites($curauth->display_name); ?>
<ul>

<?php
foreach ($user_favs as $user_fav)
  {
echo "<a href='".get_permalink($user_fav)."' title='". get_the_title($user_fav) ."'>" . get_the_post_thumbnail( $user_fav, array(335,335) ) . "</a>";
  } ; ?>

Unfortunately I’m still getting an error with your code oomskaap
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in

?? Any ideas?

Yes i also get that error, but only if you have NO favorites. Once you added one, it works. I’m also still trying to find a solution

Working code:

<?php
$curauth = (isset($_GET['author_name'])) ? get_user_by('slug', $author_name) : get_userdata(intval($author)); ?>

<?php $user_favs = wpfp_get_users_favorites($curauth->display_name); ?>
<?php
if(!$user_favs) { echo "No favorites yet."; } else{
	?>

<ul><?php
foreach ($user_favs as $user_fav)
  {
echo "<a href='".get_permalink($user_fav)."' title='". get_the_title($user_fav) ."'>" . get_the_post_thumbnail( $user_fav, array(335,335) ) . "</a>";
  };?></ul>
<?php }?>

@oomskaap Thanks for your input.

Could you tell me how to display the same but in my own loop ?

Thx

@oomskaap:

It does not work. It shows only a “no favorites yet”, but you can’t see favorites if a user does..

Could you help me with it please?
