Only display list of authors with specific author meta

Try:

<?php if( $curauth->industry == 'Graphic Design') ):?>
[ do stuff ]
<?php endif;?>

For the [do stuff] part – how do I print the meta_value for a certain meta_key for the selected industry?

I can use this to display the meta_key’s meta_value for a certain user_id:

<?php the_author_meta( company, 8 ); ?>

But I don’t understand how to tie that to the selected industry… I tried this but doesn’t work:

<?php
	$industrycat = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT user_id FROM $wpdb->usermeta WHERE meta_value='Web/Interactive'");
	foreach ($industrycat as $industrycat) {
	echo the_author_meta( 'company', '$industrycat' );
	}
?>

Redkite,

Did you find an answer to your original question above?

I’m trying to do the exact same thing. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I may be able to supply a page template that would select user_ids with a single meta_key/meta_value pair, and list data about each user_id. The drawback is that the meta_key/meta_value would be hard coded, not selectable, as would the data listed.

If this is of interest, please tell me what data you would like listed for each user_id.
