User Container on custom pages

Hey @martnick,

Interesting use case! You can approach this in two ways:

1. Make the field names dynamic by adding the user id as a suffix:

$user_id = get_current_user_id();
Field::make( 'checkbox', 'crb_some_option_' . $user_id, __( 'Some Option', 'crb' ) ),

You can also make a function that builds the meta names for you just for convenience.

2. Modify the container datastore (not really recommended, but a possible solution):

use Carbon_Fields\Container\Container;
use Carbon_Fields\Field\Field;
use Carbon_Fields\Datastore\User_Meta_Datastore;

$users_datastore = new User_Meta_Datastore();
$users_datastore->set_id( get_current_user_id() );

$theme_options = Container::make( 'theme_options', __( 'Theme Options', 'crb' ) );
$theme_options->set_datastore( $users_datastore );

$theme_options
	->add_fields( array(
		Field::make( 'header_scripts', 'crb_header_script', __( 'Header Script', 'crb' ) ),
		Field::make( 'footer_scripts', 'crb_footer_script', __( 'Footer Script', 'crb' ) ),
	) );

Hope this helps.

Hello @htmlburger,

First off, thanks you all for the great plugin, it does me wonders, you answer sums it up pretty much, you can resolve the topic.

I have worked on this before you answered, I went with a spin on the first approach. I am using the Carbon Fields plugin, to make it so, the administrator can add roles and “fields” to the roles. For those who are interested, I made a couple of theme_options container. One to add remove roles, and one to add “fields” to the roles.

The first:

Container::make('theme_options','Plugin Options')
	->add_fields(array(
		Field::make('complex', 'roles')
			->add_fields(array(
				Field::make('text','display_name','Display name'),
				Field::make('text','role_name','Role name'),
				Field::make('complex','capabilities','Caps')
				->add_fields(array(
					Field::make('text','capabilities_text','Cap. name')))
				))
		));

The second:

$roles = carbon_get_theme_option('roles','complex');

$dynamic_roles_container = Container::make('theme_options','Plugin Roles Options')
	->set_page_parent('Plugin Options');

for($i = 0; $i < count($roles); $i++) {
	$dynamic_roles_container->add_fields(array(
		Field::make('separator',$roles[$i]['role_name'] . 'role_separator',$roles[$i]['display_name'])));
}

Then you just call the fields by user role and ID.
