You certainly have the right hook, but keep in mind that you are hooking your functionality specifically to the draft_to_publish action, i.e. to the specific case of a post-object pre-existing in the database with draft status being updated to publish. Note that this action ignores drafts which are automatically saved by WordPress when a new … Read more
Use an object to keep the value of the variable and a custom action to print it out. In your theme’s functions.php, create a class, or better: move the class to a separate file. class PassCheck { private $passed = ‘no’; public function check() { if ( is_user_logged_in() ) $this->passed = ‘yes’; } public function … Read more
You can not stop anything which do not have an explicit option to be stopped. In this case, actions are a mean to execute some additional code in the context of a specific execution path, and not to alter it. If there is no way to signal to the process to stop, than the only … Read more
Your problem is pretty simple. Your callback for this hook is not a simple function but some method of a class. If you add action like this: add_action(‘admin_notices’, ‘simple_notice’); you tell WP that there is some simple function called simple_notice and it should be called when hook admin_notices is processed. But… There is no such … Read more
From look at source metaWeblog.newPost seems to be processed in wp_xmlrpc_server->mw_newPost() method. At the end of this method there is following hook call: do_action( ‘xmlrpc_call_success_mw_newPost’, $post_ID, $args ); which seems to be very fitting to process and save any additional information for post that have just been created by its ID provided.
There’s a plugin written specifically to fix this ‘feature’ of WordPress, it’s called Category Checklist Tree. Despite the name, it works on custom taxonomies too.
After working on several projects so big I didn’t even know all the people involved, I came to one conclusion: Keep it simple, write great documentation. Code is simple if it is easy to read, to learn and to extend. Do not reinvent the wheel: Use the given hooks wherever possible, add new ones in … Read more
Through a lot more research and some trial and error, I figured out the correct code to use that will restrict a post from being edited based on the user ID AND a custom meta field. $user = get_current_user_id(); $super_users = array(1); The first two pieces of code within the function are important for restricting … Read more
A more compact and WordPress-ish way, using url_to_postid(): function wpmp_switcher_exclusions_init() { $pid = url_to_postid( home_url( add_query_arg( array() ) ) ); if ( (int) $pid > 0 && get_post_meta( $pid, ‘_wp_page_template’, TRUE ) === ‘my-responsive-template.php’ ) { remove_action(‘init’, ‘wpmp_switcher_init’); remove_action(‘admin_menu’, ‘wpmp_switcher_admin_menu’); remove_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘wpmp_switcher_wp_footer’); remove_filter(‘stylesheet’, ‘wpmp_switcher_stylesheet’); remove_filter(‘template’, ‘wpmp_switcher_template’); remove_filter(‘option_home’, ‘wpmp_switcher_option_home_siteurl’); remove_filter(‘option_siteurl’, ‘wpmp_switcher_option_home_siteurl’); } } add_action( ‘setup_theme’, ‘wpmp_switcher_exclusions_init’ … Read more
Auto-generate shortcodes from an array: You can try the following Shortcode Automat: /** * Setup the Shortcode Automat * */ function shortcode_automat_setup() { $settings = array( “get_address” => “mg_admin_address”, “get_phone” => “mg_admin_phone”, “get_fax” => “mg_admin_fax”, “get_email” => “mg_admin_email”, “get_hrs_mon” => “mg_work_hrs_mon_frd”, “get_hrs_sat” => “mg_work_hrs_sat” ); $sc = new ShortCodeAutomat( $settings ); $sc->generate(); } add_action( ‘wp_loaded’, … Read more
