You can add a posts_orderby filter to flip the meta_value: function wpse174075_posts_orderby( $orderby, $query ) { if ( $query->get( ‘orderby’ ) != ‘ddmmyy_date_format’ ) return $orderby; if ( ! ( $order = $query->get( ‘order’ ) ) ) $order=”DESC”; global $wpdb; $mv = $wpdb->postmeta . ‘.meta_value’; // Note SUBSTR() position (2nd) arg is 1-indexed. return ‘CONCAT(SUBSTR(‘ … Read more
Agreed, I’ve seen it too, but I don’t think there’s any readily available API or method. For me, I use a lick of jQuery; <input type=”text” class=”list-item” name=”list_items[]” /> <input type=”button” class=”button-secondary” id=”add-list” /> <script type=”text/javascript”> ( function( $ ) { $( ‘#add-list’ ).click( function() { var $item = $( ‘.list-item:last’ ), $new = $item.clone(); … Read more
In case it’s helpful to anyone else, here’s what my code looked like to achieve this. I didn’t end up saving the attachment data at all, per tbuteler’s suggestion, but rather than using $_REQUEST I found I could use the $attachment array directly: function my_attachment_fields_to_edit( $form_fields, $post ) { $supported_exts = supported_types(); // array of … Read more
Instead of $formAction = get_option(‘home’); use $formAction = get_template_part( ‘search’ );
The easiest way to do that would be to check the capabilities with current_user_can before displaying the field. For instance, the administrator role has the capability manage_options which your newly created users won’t have. So you can do something like this: <?php // wherever your fields are… if(current_user_can(‘manage_options’)) { // display your fields here. } … Read more
You got it pretty close. Here’s a working example of what you’re trying to do: class Wpse_126374 { public function __construct() { add_action( ‘init’, array( $this, ‘rewrites’ ) ); add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, array( $this, ‘pre_get_posts’ ) ); } public function rewrites() { add_rewrite_tag( ‘%parent_id%’, ‘(\d+)’ ); } public function pre_get_posts( $query ) { // Don’t run … Read more
Internally post meta are handled via object cache that is hardly filterable. The only chance to filter post metadata is to use the ‘get_post_metadata’, but that filter is triggered when meta data are not available, so there is nothing to filter, it was intended to short-circuit the result more than to filter them. So the … Read more
If you are working with serialized data as your meta_value, that sucks, as Pieter suggested, it’s best not to. However if there is no way around the serialization problem then I wonder if a meta_query using a compare value of LIKE might help… Example: //psuedo serialized data… (e.g. value of meta_key = fruits_user_like) //a:4:{i:0;s:5:”apple”;i:1;s:6:”orange”;i:2;s:6:”banana”;i:3;s:31:”serialized_data_sucks_sometimes”;} $users … Read more
Kind of confusing question, but I think you want: [mp3-jplayer tracks=”‘.implode(‘, ‘, get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘mp3’, false)).'”] Assuming you get a array of meta key values this will join the into a comma-separated string
I think what you want is to create what WorpPress calls “Custom Post Types”. Please have a look at the Post Type page in the Codex that explains what Post Types are and how to create custom ones. Basically, here is the code to create the Object custom post type : add_action( ‘init’, ‘create_post_type’ ); … Read more
