We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!
We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.
You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.
While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.
We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.
Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!
In our system we have users which are related to one or more Clubs (a club is a custom post type in our system). This relationship is managed via ACF. We also have a members table which we would like to be editable by only users who have been attached to that particular club. The members table would have a post_id column to represent this relationship between the member and the club.
I saw how to restrict editing based on the user_id using your plugin, but our use case is a bit different. Is this possible with your plugin to restrict view/editing based on a relationship, either out of the box, or via hooks/filters?
Hello Nick
Thank you for your interest in our plugin.
If the dependency is a user role, for example, we could make it work.
If I have this table:
This is a manual table which has manually entered IDs from wp_users and roles from wp_usermeta:
So, then I go to create an SQL query based table which will display entries based on user roles using this query:
SELECT new_table.id AS ID, new_table.role AS Role, new_table.product AS Product, new_table.amount AS Amount FROM wp_wpdatatable_6 AS new_table JOIN wp_usermeta AS new_table_1 ON new_table_1.user_id = %CURRENT_USER_ID% AND new_table_1.meta_value LIKE CONCAT('%', new_table.role, '%')
When I'm logged in with user ID = 1, I see this:
When I'm logged in with user ID = 4, I see the same thing. And when I'm logged in as one of the subscribers, I can only see the rows where role = subscriber:
The only difference is that as subscriber I don't have access to back-end, so this confirms it is working on both front and back.
So, we're only left with hiding unnecessary columns, adding names, and so on.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
