The Core “trash post” links in the “Quick Edit” section on edit.php and in the “advanced” form in the “Publish” meta box work over GET not POST. Unless you have altered the form(s) somehow, there is no POST data. All you have is the post ID. To save data when a post is deleted, you … Read more
First, you have to store your dates in a form that sorts properly mathematically. Unix timestamps will do that. The only human-like calendar format that does it is YYYY-MM-DD. You have your dates saved backwards. Assuming you store as YYYY-MM-DD, then this should work: $args = array( ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘meta_key’ => ‘ows_schedule_field-date’, ‘meta_value’ … Read more
question 1 Im not sure how you can do that, But you could try add the image link, and the file path as a meta_post and get the values from there, when you get the values you will only get the files/images from that post uploaded from that metabox. You can also try custom-fields-to-attachments where … Read more
Without coding the whole thing yourself, this sounds like what the Cred plugin was written to do. Using the Toolset suite is, of course, limiting compared to doing everything hands-on but the trade-offs in terms of deployment time are pretty massive. If you want to get down with a lot of hand coding, there are … Read more
This should not be complicated so I can’t help but think that I am missing something. What it sounds like you need is get_post_meta. $yid = get_post_meta($post->ID,’youtube_id’,true); if (empty($yid)) { // not set } else { // set } Edit: You need a meta_query for the most WordPress-y solution: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, … Read more
I think there’s no really huge difference, you choose the tool that you feel most comfortable yourself. Plugins have the drawbacks you mentioned, and doing them from scratch can be a bit slow and tedious. The 3rd alternative, that I find really good, is a PHP class that does all the heavy lifting for you, … Read more
You should use delete_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘show_links’ ); instead of delete_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘show_links’, 1 ); the last form is used to delete specific values when you have multiple values with the same key. Here you most probably already stored a value which is an empty string that you never deleted and that’s what you get when … Read more
You have the arguments for get_post_meta backwards. You have: get_post_meta(‘imail’, $post->post_id); Whereas, where you to check the Codex, it should be: get_post_meta( $post_id, $key, $single ); Or is your case: get_post_meta($post->post_id,’imail’); That is assuming that $post is set correctly and that you are using the Gravity Forms hooks correctly.
I normalize the output of these functions using this logic: Cast the value to an array. If it is not an array already, it will be converted to an array with one element, which is the value it was, e.g. (array) false becomes array (false). Use array_filter, which, when not passed a callable, simply filters … Read more
Actually is not true that on post-new.php global $post is not defined, WordPress create a post and save it in database as auto-draft using get_default_post_to_edit before output the page and so the metabox, so you can rely on global post object. However, I don’t like using global post object and to get the brand-new post … Read more
