use these: $imgurl = isset( $values[‘upload_image’] ) ? esc_attr( $values[‘upload_image’][0] ) : ”; <input id=”upload_image” type=”text” size=”36″ name=”upload_image” value=”<?php echo $imgurl; ?>” /> <input id=”upload_image_button” type=”button” value=”Upload Image” /> if( isset( $_POST[‘upload_image’] ) ) update_post_meta( $post_id, ‘upload_image’, wp_kses_data( $_POST[‘upload_image’] ) );
get_post_meta() function works In and Outside of the loop and you saying that you do see it working on a single image “but doesn’t in loop” means that you probably did not add the code to the right loop. To be clear It works with all posts types.
To save post meta fields from custom meta boxes you need to hook into save_post with something like this: add_action( ‘save_post’, ‘myplugin_save_postdata’ ); There is some full example code on adding meta boxes on the codex Function Reference/add meta box
You’re talking about the format setting which was introduced in WP 3.1 for the posts post type? No, I don’t think this is possible. To remove the title-, editor- or any other metabox, you have to remove the support for this feature from the current post type. (e.g. remove the feature from the supports parameter … Read more
I’ve accomplished this using the WPAlchemy library. Might not meet completely your “do it myself” requirement, but the functionality is there and you can tweak it to accomplish a lot without having to code everything from scratch.
Dan, the problem is that when you save the post meta, it’s using a name that doesn’t exist as you’ve added ‘_team1ban_1 etc, but the code you’ve linked to looks for inputs named $fields[‘id’]. If you want to use the linked framework, I suggest you add them as separate fields. (i.e. three separate select boxes). … Read more
Many of the comments below refer to code used for debugging, which for clarity I’ve removed. I should have spotted this soon – you are adding only one row into the postmeta table, and that row has the key _my_meta. Before inserting the array int the table, WordPress serializes the array. When you retrieve the … Read more
Have a look at the Post Expirator plugin. The Post Expirator plugin allows the user to set expiration dates for both posts and pages. There is a configuration option page in the plugins area that will allow you to seperataly control whether or not posts/pages are either deleted or changed to draft status.
Since you are familiar with the how to create metabox using add_meta_box already, I’ll skip to the relevant bits. You can either conditionally add_meta_box depending on the current post title, or ID, (this is the preferred method) or, you can conditionally remove_meta_box depending on the the post displayed. To detect the current post ID you … Read more
You might wish to try; <?php $mykey_values = get_post_custom_values(‘my_key’); foreach ( $mykey_values as $key => $value ) { echo “$key => $value (‘my_key’)<br />”; } ?> Where my_key would be equal to songs. Another example of what I might do in a situation where I am dealing with multiple values; <?php global $post; $meta = … Read more
