Please review code i am using in wordpress
http://scripton.net/_files/sponsorship.txt
If you add this to your to any local instance (functions.php) you will be able to have this custom field applied to categories.
The same applies to SHOULD apply Tags...although the hooks names are a little different. From what i found i need to use (see below)
add_action( 'add_tag_form_fields', 'sponsorship_add_new_meta_field');
and
add_action( 'edit_tag_form_fields', 'sponsorship_edit_meta_field');
Here is what i see:
The field is added in the Tags section... but when i put in a value and try to go and edit it... the value is gone. I want to be able to add this sponsorship field for every tag and finally know how to get that field value on my page. The problem is related to adding the custom field in Tags

I have done it before, let me try and I tell you now.
Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:
Kofi,
I have tried and the save/edit works.
I tell you now how to use it in a page.
Kofi Addaquay comments:
Thank you. Waiting for answer
Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:
How to get it from a page, different ways:
If you know the term_id:
$t_id = 13;
$tag_meta = get_option( "taxonomy_$t_id" );
echo $tag_meta['custom_tag_meta'];
If you know the term_slug:
$term = get_term_by('slug', 'your_slug', 'category')
$t_id = $term->term_id;
$tag_meta = get_option( "taxonomy_$t_id" );
echo $tag_meta['custom_tag_meta'];
Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:
Also, now you only have category working, if you want to use it in other taxonmies, you only have to add tags:
For tags:
edited_category -> edited_post_tag
create_category -> create_post_tag
So you would have to add:
add_action( 'edited_post_tag', 'save_sponsorship_custom_meta');
add_action( 'create_post_tag', 'save_sponsorship_custom_meta');
Kofi Addaquay comments:
Ok... but that was the last part of the question. I am not about to edit the custom field before it shows up black for Tag... that was the main question. How the get the value in the page was the last part of question. The most important part is making it work with tags
Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:
But also for custom taxonomies:
add_action( 'edited_product_cat', save_sponsorship_custom_meta');
add_action( 'create_product_cat', 'save_sponsorship_custom_meta');
Or any other: edited_TAXONOMY and create_TAXONOMY
Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:
Read how it should work with tags and any other taxonomies.
Kofi Addaquay comments:
Ok...let me try this...sorry i just saw your post

Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:
I am working on it.
Please wait a moment.
Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:
Tell me, what's the problem? I have tried and it works correctly.
Kofi Addaquay comments:
The problem is this
When i go into Tags....
I create a new tag and add a value for sponsorship.
I can successfully add the tag
When i go into edit... the sponsorship value is gone!
Kofi Addaquay comments:
The code only works for Categories... But i need them to work for Tags
Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:
Sorry but I am seeing it in my site and it works :(
Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:
No, I am trying with tags.
Are you sure you have this code working in your theme?
Kofi Addaquay comments:
It works for Tags?
Copy and Paste the code you are using in functions.php as i would also use it and let me try

I have to go out now, if you want send me data via a private message and tomorrow I do it and see in your server what it is failing.
Kofi Addaquay comments:
It worked !! yes
Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:
Ah it worked :)
Great. Tell me if have doubts to show it in the page and I tell you.
Kofi Addaquay comments:
Now the last part from my question is how to access the sponsorship code in my page
Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:
I told you:
If you know the term_id:
$t_id = 13;
$tag_meta = get_option( "taxonomy_$t_id" );
echo $tag_meta['custom_tag_meta'];
If you know the term_slug:
$term = get_term_by('slug', 'your_slug', 'tag')
$t_id = $term->term_id;
$tag_meta = get_option( "taxonomy_$t_id" );
echo $tag_meta['custom_tag_meta'];
Any more question?
Kofi Addaquay comments:
let me try !
Kofi Addaquay comments:
So i have created a new tag with the following values
Name: KofiTest
Description: some test description
Spons Code: NEWKOFISPONSCODE
The slug is : kofitest
Then in single.php
if( has_tag() ) {
$term = get_term_by('slug', 'kofitest', 'tag');
$t_id = $term->term_id;
$tag_meta = get_option( "taxonomy_$t_id" );
echo 'this sponsorship is' . $tag_meta['custom_tag_meta'];
}
else {
echo "Sponsorship Test: THERE ARE NO TAG(S)";
}
Sound this not work? i dont get anything back
Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:
Try to remove has_tag and tell me.
Kofi Addaquay comments:
Thank you. I sent you a private message
Kofi Addaquay comments:
I need the has_tag... when i take it out... i get a different sponsorship code. There is sponsorship on the post level as well...and that is what i get. I want the sponsorship on the tag level.
Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:
I have to leave PC.
Send me private message and we finish it tomorrow (I will be available again in 11 hours)
Kofi Addaquay comments:
Ok. thank you
Luis Abarca answers:
i think you need to add hooks for post tags.
add_action( 'edited_category', 'save_sponsorship_custom_meta');
add_action( 'create_category', 'save_sponsorship_custom_meta');
add_action( 'edited_post_tag', 'save_sponsorship_custom_meta');
add_action( 'create_post_tag', 'save_sponsorship_custom_meta');
