access control and viewing

Hello Simphiwe,

Thank you for the question.
I see that this feature is quite needed, so I just have added it to the WPTables 1.3.7.
Please update and try predefined variable $user_id as following:
SELECT * FROM users WHERE ID = $user_id
Also, you can use wptables_mysql_query filter to modify MySQL query in your own way using PHP.

Please let me know if it helps you.

Regards,
Ian

Hi Ian

i did try $user_id but im getting an error Invalid query. Please check the syntax and try again.

and another thing, where can i modify the mysql filter?

kind regards,
Simphiwe

Hello Simphiwe,

Have you updated the WPTables to the latest version?
Here is how I do this with my setup – https://take.ms/CeKoq

Please let me know if it works for you.

Hello Ian,

I do have the latest version of WPTable, and here is my setup. – https://take.ms/laFQg

I hope it is helpful because I am really confused right now.

Kind regards,
Simphiwe

Thanks for the video.
Looks really strange. Could you please try this simple query?
SELECT * FROM wpje_give_donors WHERE id = $user_id
Maybe there is some conflict with user_id field in the SELECT.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Ian

Good day,

I tried that query and afraid to say, but i got the same error. I’m really confused now.

Thank you for trying to help, though. ??

Simphiwe,

Thank you for the answer and sorry for the trouble.
Seems I have finally found the error and already published a fix.
Please update WPTables to 1.3.8 and let me know if it works well now.

Regards,
Ian

Good day,

It sort of works now but there is one slight problem, when the data is queried from the database and displayed on the table, it is some how wrong. user-1’s data is displayed when user2 is logged in. same story if i login with the other user. But i think we are really close now to find the solution.

secondly, please correct me if I am wrong, but $user_id has to do with access control (admin, contributor, etc). So, wouldn’t it maybe work better if used ID(on the first column, which is auto-incremented). at that case it will always be unique to that particular person. link – https://take.ms/viPht

I hope I am not causing too much unnecessary work for you.

Kind regards,
Simphiwe

Glad to hear it works.
Actually, $user_id is replaced with current WP User ID (get_current_user_id). From your table I see that id is a primary key for wpje_give_donors table (not a user id). And user key associated with this record is user_id. So, changing your query as following may help:
... WHERE user_id = $user_id

Hope it helps.

Ian

Good day,

Thank you so so much, it finally works as expected. I’m so excited. I’m gonna give your work all the stars. I will also do some recommendation.

Kind regards,
Simphiwe
