I'm setting a transient with the value on the form submission just before the one I need to filter. The transient is the data I need and is available early enough that I can use it in my query. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/limit-query-based-on-user-information#post-33997 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 01:09:32 +0000 curtismchale 33997@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've hacked the GF CPT plugin to display posts (instead of taxonomies) in the dropdown so I can save a post 2 post relation. The data set I'm dealing with is huge (will be 20,000 plus items - all schools in the US) so I'd like to limit things.</p> <p>My first thought is to get the state of the current user (which we collected earlier on the site in a custom profile field) but it seems that $current_user isn't available when we populate the field in the code below.</p> <p><a href="https://gist.github.com/1182856" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/1182856</a></p> <p>Limiting the query manually by state works fine (as in I just type the meta_key and meta_value in). Anyone know how I can get the meta_value in to the function so I can limit the query to something reasonable? </p>
