I’m interested in purchasing WP data tables and the one feature I’m having trouble finding is the ability to conditionally show records in a table if a user belongs to a custom role.
For example, if I have a products table where products belong under a vendor, can I only show the products that are mapped to the currently logged in vendor? I want to map data fields to custom user roles.
Is this currently possible?
Hello Ben
Thank you for your interest in our plugin.
If I understood your request correctly, you're looking for the "Users see and edit only their own data" feature. Please take a look at the linked documentation and let me know if you have some follow-up questions.
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:
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 a subscriber I don't have access to the 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,
Aleksandar Vuković
