filter form by user profile?

To find the min for a user in principal, you could use:
[cfdb-value form="myform" filter="Submitted Login=$user_login" show="field-with-time"]

*BUT* it looks like your times are not simple numbers. They are like “1:31:14” which cfdb-value will not know how to process. So you would have to write your own custom short code.

See:

• show results for the logged in user
• cfdb-value
• Build your own short code
• In the short code, you can use strtotime to convert times to a number

Hi Michael,
Thanks but the main issue is not with time but with creating the short code to filter by anino.
I know that this code below should return value of
$value = get_cimyFieldValue(user_id, ANINO);
but how do I incorporate it in shortcode

You would have to build your own short code to be able to apply the get_cimyFieldValue function.

I have tried this but returns no results.

[cfdb-table form=”2014 Results Entry” show=”Firstname,LastName,ANINO,Distance,Race Name,Time” role=”Anyone” filter=”ANINO=get_cimyFieldValue(user_id, ANINO);” ASC”]

Can someone please tell me where I am going wrong.

It will not recognize get_cimyFieldValue(user_id, ANINO) as a function to call it. It is looking for an entry in ANINO where the text literally is “get_cimyFieldValue(user_id, ANINO);”

so how do i get it to compare the field in the form with the field in the user profile? I assume you will refer me to earlier post re short codes but i’m struggling with that so any help would be appreciated.

new to all this creating short codes etc, I am using cimy user extra fields to create a field in user profile called anino, I want to use the vaule of this field in a shortcode in cfdb, to filter table results, but I am unsure how to do comparison?
$value = get_cimyFieldValue(user_id, field_name);

I’ll look into what it would take to add code to support this. No promises.
