Checkbox, with Custom Meta WordPress

• SOLVED

I would like a checkbox to be linked to a custom field;

The checkbox displays but i believe it does not save... i would like it to save.

Thanks code is below.

<?php
}

add_action('admin_menu', 'work_app_stores_cf');

function work_app_stores_cf() {
add_meta_box('app_store', 'Available on Which Stores?', 'work_app_stores_cff', 'work', 'normal', 'high');
}

//Adds the actual option box
function work_app_stores_cff() {
global $post;
?>

<style type="text/css">
#appstore div
{ display: block; margin: 0 0 0; padding: 15px 0; }

#appstore div label
{ font-size: 14px; margin: 0 0 4px; display: block; font-weight: bold; }

#appstore div small
{ display: block; margin: 0 0 10px; }

#appstore div select
{ width: 400px; height: 30px; }



</style>


<fieldset id="appstore">
<div>
<label for="app_apple" >
<input type="checkbox" id="app_apple" name="app_apple" value="checked" <?php get_post_meta($post->ID, 'app_apple', true) ?>/>Do you want to display this page on the home page?

</label>

</div>

</fieldset>
<?php
}

Save Code:


add_action('save_post', 'custom_add_save');

function custom_add_save($postID){
// called after a post or page is saved
if($parent_id = wp_is_post_revision($postID))
{
$postID = $parent_id;
}
if ($_POST['app_apple']) {
update_custom_meta($postID, $_POST['app_apple'], 'app_apple');
}
}

function update_custom_meta($postID, $newvalue, $field_name) {
// To create new meta
if(!get_post_meta($postID, $field_name)){
add_post_meta($postID, $field_name, $newvalue);
}else{
// or to update existing meta
update_post_meta($postID, $field_name, $newvalue);
}
}

have you tested it? I think it should save

if not there should be an error right check the logs

Yes you are right it is saving but not updating the HTML element to say it is checked, please advise.

Luis Cordova comments:

problem is here


<input ... id="app_apple" ... value="checked" <?php get_post_meta($post->ID, 'app_apple', true) ?>/>Do you want to display this page on the home page? ...


you are passing value="checked" and perhaps it gets confused with the other get_post_meta

maybe first output the get_post_meta alone to check that part is working and then make sure the input tag is rendered valid otherwise it can get confused with the value you are passing
