Setup list of members by meta key

  • Hi there,

    I like to setup a list of users who are part of a company (company_name is the custom meta key) when people register.

    I think i have to do this through member directories right? Well i can’t seem to find where and how to create these. I don’t have that option in the backend menu.

    Would like to have some advice.

    Thank you,
    Remy

    Hi @remykonings33

    Thank you for contacting our support.

    It appears you’re using an older version of UM and WP. Could you please share the versions here?

    Hi @remykonings33

    Thanks for providing the installation info. I can see that you have the latest versions.

    Have you tried deactivating other plugins and then leaving UM plugin active just to test this issue? Let’s see if the Member Directory menu still doesn’t show.

    Regards,

    Thread Starter remykonings33

    (@remykonings33)

    thx for helping out, unfortunately deactivating all plugins did not make any difference. I’ve also tried to use the twenty two theme as my main theme is “BeTheme” but that also didn’t make a differences.

    Are there any other options to try in order to get the Member Directory to work?

    @remykonings33

    Have you enabled Member Directory in:

    UM Settings -> General -> Users -> Enable Members Directory

    Thread Starter remykonings33

    (@remykonings33)

    Wauw! oke that was it, thank you for pointing out that setting to me. I totally overlooked it somehow! -,-

    @remykonings33

    By default, Ultimate Member will install a members directory on your site on a page called members.

    https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/1723-displaying-member-directories

    You have to enable this UM default feature.

    Can you make a step 0 in this guide about how to enable Member Directory.

    Thread Starter remykonings33

    (@remykonings33)

    So i’ve checked out the settings but i’m in doubt if it’s possible to create custom directories based on a custom meta-key.

    I want to create a per company list/grid using a custom meta-key.
    My custom meta-key is called “company_name”. Users will add their company during signup.

    Is it possible to create a list based on a dynamic meta-key?

    Thank you.

    @remykonings33

    I’m not sure that’s possible without a code snippet.

    @remykonings33

    You can try this code snippet where users get a Member Directory only with their own company members listed. If company_name is empty only a Member Directory with current user.

    Change $directory_id = '387'; to your Member Directory ID.

    Install the code snippet into your active theme’s functions.php file
    or use the “Code Snippets” plugin.

    https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/code-snippets/

    add_filter( 'um_prepare_user_query_args', 'custom_meta_value_prepare_user_query_args', 10, 2 );

function custom_meta_value_prepare_user_query_args( $query_args, $directory_data ) {

    $directory_id = '387';
    $meta_key = 'company_name';

    if( $directory_data['form_id'] == $directory_id ) {
        $meta_value = um_user( $meta_key );
        $include = array( um_profile_id() );
        if( $meta_value ) {
            $include = get_users( array( 'meta_key'   => $meta_key, 
                                         'meta_value' => $meta_value, 
                                         'fields'     => 'user_id',
                                ));
        }
        $query_args['include'] = $include;
    }
    return $query_args;
}
