By default WordPress doesn’t load admin classes/function definitions in the front end of the site. You need to explicitly require the files. As far as I remember requiring wp-admin/includes/admin.php would get you most of typical stuff.
Yes it is possible but not exactly trivial or well documented. The easiest option is to have different comment types (ie, have new ones in addition to the traditional comment, pingback and tracback). The biggest problem with this approach is that most of wordpress API and admin is not built to be flexible enough to … Read more
First thoughts – a custom tax for actors might work. The Taxonomy Images plugin will make adding the headshot easy. I’d maybe make the production a post – or an instance of a CPT – I wouldn’t mess around with CSVs at all. You’d build the table in the post. I would perhaps create a … Read more
Disable drag metaboxes, create many functions using js not to work!
Firstly, remember that because you are basing this on category IDs, you will need to save the post under category ‘5’ before the box will appear. When I tested your code the meta box did appear after I saved the post, but you had an error. add_meta_box(‘team_meta’, ‘My Custom Meta Box 1’, ‘team_meta’, ‘post’, ‘normal’, … Read more
So awkwardly realised I’d been going about this whole thing in a stupid roundabout way and in fact Milo above in the comments is completely right, and proves that the codex still has secrets for everyone, or maybe just me. The eureka (or durr-eka) moment came after reading this post here about setting up and … Read more
Custom meta-box for all custom post types
Found it out! I needed to put the registered taxonomy to the same post type in the registered_taxonomy() function.
Try the following. Replace ereg(‘/\edit\.php’, $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’]) with preg_match(‘/edit.php/’, $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’]) And also change if(isset($_POST[$meta_box[‘name’].’_value’])){ $data = $_POST[$meta_box[‘name’].’_value’]; } to if(isset($_POST[$meta_box[‘name’].’_value’])){ $data = $_POST[$meta_box[‘name’].’_value’]; } else $data = “”;
This is a PHP syntax issue, you can’t put a ternary operator inside an echo. Assign the value to $meta in one line: $meta=”” == get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘twitter_embed’, true) ? get_option(‘my_option_name’) : get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘twitter_embed’, true);
