how to create a multiselect field to select user from a specific WP role

Hi @french150,

You can use our choice callback function feature to write a custom function to populate the multiselect fields with user infomations. Please see our docs on this here https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/1539-choices-callback-feature-in-um-2-1

Hi, I supposed. But how can I create a custom function to populate a dynamic list of all the user(s) belonging to a specific role?

Can work this function where “operatore” is the name of the WP role?

Please consider that I want display only the name of users.

<?php

$args = array(
    'role'    => 'um_operatore',
    'orderby' => 'user_nicename',
    'order'   => 'ASC'
);
$users = get_users( $args );

echo '<ul>';
foreach ( $users as $user ) {
    echo '<li>' . esc_html( $user->display_name ) . '[' . esc_html( $user->user_email ) . ']</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';

?>

Best regards

<?php

function return_my_username_dropdown(){
$args = array(
    'role'    => 'um_operatore',
    'orderby' => 'user_nicename',
    'order'   => 'ASC'
);
$users = get_users( $args );


$usernames = array();
foreach ( $users as $user ) {
   $usernames[] = $user->display_name;
}
return $usernames;

}
?>

You can then use this function name “return_my_username_dropdown” as your callback function.

Hi, I think I’ll add this code by Code Snippets plugin, ok?

So do i have to write in the function “um_operatore” where the role is named “operatore”?

For the last how can I edit this function to select more than one user from more WP roles? In this case I’ll use multi select field instead of dropdown to select more users

Best regards
