Associate Page with User

2 comments

1. I’ve answered a similar Question and the same code can be adapted for this case. This creates a Meta Box where you can assign a user to a specific post/page, and the information is stored as a Custom Field. The following can be put in functions.php or in a functionality plugin (see: Where to put my code: plugin or functions.php?):

   /* Define the custom box */
   add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'authors_meta_box_wpse_89213' );
   
   /* Do something with the data entered */
   add_action( 'save_post', 'save_postdata_wpse_89213', 10, 2 );
   
   function authors_meta_box_wpse_89213() 
   {
       global $current_user;
       if( !current_user_can( 'delete_plugins' ) )
           return;
   
       add_meta_box(
           'sectionid_wpse_89213',
           __( 'Page of user' ), 
           'authors_box_wpse_89213',
           'page',
           'side',
           'high'
   
       );
   }
   
   function authors_box_wpse_89213() 
   {
       global $post;
   
       $selected_user = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'users_dropdown', true);
       $users_list = get_users();
   
       // Use nonce for verification
       wp_nonce_field( plugin_basename( __FILE__ ), 'noncename_wpse_89213' );
   
       echo '<div class="element">
           <select name="users_dropdown" id="users_dropdown">
           <option value="">- Select -</option>';
   
       foreach( $users_list as $user ) {
             echo '<option value="'.$user->ID.'" ' . selected( $selected_user, $user->ID, false ) . '>'.$user->data->display_name.'</option>';
       }
   
       echo '</select></div>';
   }
   
   function save_postdata_wpse_89213( $post_id, $post_object ) 
   {
       // verify if this is an auto save routine. 
       if ( defined( 'DOING_AUTOSAVE' ) && DOING_AUTOSAVE )  
           return;
   
       // verify this came from the our screen and with proper authorization,
       if ( !isset( $_POST['noncename_wpse_89213'] ) || !wp_verify_nonce( $_POST['noncename_wpse_89213'], plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) ) )
           return;
   
       // Correct post type
       if ( isset( $_POST['post_type'] ) && 'page' != $_POST['post_type'] ) 
           return;
   
       // OK, we're authenticated: we need to find and save the data
   
       //sanitize user input
       $u_id = ( isset( $_POST['users_dropdown'] ) ) ? intval( $_POST['users_dropdown'] ) : false;
   
       if( $u_id )
           update_post_meta( $post_id, 'users_dropdown', $_POST['users_dropdown'] );
       else
           delete_post_meta( $post_id, 'users_dropdown' );
   }
   

   With that in place, you can do something like this in a theme template file to display the “User Page” link:

   <?php
   if( is_user_logged_in() ) 
   {
       global $current_user;
       $args = array(
               'post_type' => 'page',
               'numberposts' => 1,
               'meta_key'=>'users_dropdown',
               'meta_value'=>$current_user->ID,
               'meta_compare'=>'='
           );
       $user_page = get_posts( $args );
       if( $user_page )
       {
           $permalink = get_permalink( $user_page[0]->ID );
           echo "<a href='$permalink'>View your page</a>";
       }
   }
   ?>

2. IF you name the pages with the username for example http://www.site.com/author-page/jhon_doe you can try something like this;

   <?php
   $user =  wp_get_current_user();
   
   $username = $user->user_login;
   ?>
   <a href="http://www.site.com/author-page/<?php echo $username;?>"> View your page</a>
   

   Try to use a unique field or ID to name the pages to make it work. See more of wp_get_current_user() to see all fields available
