Get A Comma-Separated List of An Author's Roles

I recently built a job board-style site where I needed to list out all of a WordPress user (author's) roles on the frontend. You can use the snippet below, along with get_user_role to help list them out in your template.


<?php

function get_user_role( $user_id ) {
    global $wp_roles;

    $roles = array();
    $user = new WP_User( $user_id );
    $current_author = get_the_author_meta('ID');

    if ( !empty( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) ) {
    foreach ( $user->roles as $role )
        $roles[] .= translate_user_role( $role );
    }
    return implode(', ',$roles);
}

?>

To get this list using Oxygen Builder anywhere that accepts dynamic values, simply click "Insert Data," scroll to Custom PHP, input get_user_role, then click, "Insert."
