Get two values from array in User field

  • Hi,

    I have created a custom field in the Options page that is a User custom field type, whereby there is a select and you can choose one user from the dropdown.

    The call on my template works fine (it returns the user it is supposed to), but returns the entire array of data from that user. How can I just get the display_name and the user_url from the array?

    Here’s what I have got now:

    <?php

$values = get_field('my_field','options');
if($values)
{
	echo '<ul>';

	foreach($values as $value)
	{
		echo '<li>' . $value . '</li>';
	}

	echo '</ul>';
}

?>

    Any ideas how to retrieve just some of the values from the array?

    Many thanks!

    Hello? Any answers?

    Try this instead:

    <?php if(get_field('my_field', 'options')): ?>
<ul>
<?php while(has_sub_field('my_field', 'options')): ?>
<li>  Name: <?php the_sub_field('display_name' , 'options'); ?> | URL: <?php the_sub_field('user_url', 'options'); ?> </li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>

    Doesn’t work: it returns a blank.

    Try removing the options from the sub-fields.

    <?php if(get_field('my_field', 'options')): ?>
<ul>
<?php while(has_sub_field('my_field' , 'options')): ?>
<li>  Name: <?php the_sub_field('display_name'); ?> | URL: <?php the_sub_field('user_url'); ?> </li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>

    Using your method

    <?php
$values = get_field('my_field','options');
if($values)
{
	echo '<ul>';

	foreach($values as $value)
	{
		echo '<li>' . $value['display_name'] . '|' . $value['user_url'] . '</li>';
	}
	echo '</ul>';
}
?>

    Nope. It returns a weird sequence of characters:

    1|1
J|J
R|R
1|1
1|1
J|J
j|j
h|h
2|2
J|J
|

    Very odd.
