Front end post Update button WordPress
- SOLVED
I want to update a post's meta fields from the front end.
This can already be done via [[LINK href="http://www.wpquestions.com/question/show/id/2553"]]this [[/LINK]]answer, and it is working.
However, after i saved the new meta value using the above code, it is just writing the new meta to the post. What i need is that the post also needs to be <strong>Updated</strong>. Updated as in the same way when you click Update in the post back-end.
The reason for this is some meta in the back-end <strong>ONLY </strong> gets written to SQL when the <strong>publish_post</strong> hook is fired - when a post is Updated.
So i would like the above code to automatically trigger a post update. Or a new seperate code that only gives me a post Update button.

The one in this link http://www.wpquestions.com/question/show/id/7885
Or i paste here. This part goes on the top of my single.php file:
<?php
if($_POST['update_me']=='yes'){
if(!wp_verify_nonce($_POST['drw_inventory'],'update_drw_postmeta')){
die('failed security check');
}
global $post;
$postid = $post->ID;
$data = $_POST['_dappcf_i_priceone'];
update_post_meta($postid,'price',$data);
}
?>
And this part is in the single.php file where i want it to appear:
<form method="post" action="">
<?php wp_nonce_field('update_drw_postmeta','drw_inventory'); ?>
<label>This is label</label>
<?php
global $post;
$post_id = $post->ID;
$priceone = get_post_meta($post_id,'price',true);
?>
<input type='text' name='_dappcf_i_priceone' value='<?php echo $priceone ?>' />
<input type="hidden" name='update_me' value="yes"/>
<input type='submit' value='save' />
</form>

ok try this
<?php
if($_POST['update_me']=='yes'){
if(!wp_verify_nonce($_POST['drw_inventory'],'update_drw_postmeta')){
die('failed security check');
}
global $post,$wpdb;
$postid = $post->ID;
$data = $_POST['_dappcf_i_priceone'];
update_post_meta($postid,'price',$data);

if($post->post_type == "post" && strlen( get_post_meta($post_ID, 'price', true))>0 )
{
$id = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT id FROM ".$tablename." WHERE id=".$post_ID);
$cny = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'price', true);
/*Shipping rate */
if( $cny < 50 )
$shipping = 14.97;
else if( $cny >= 50 && $cny < 200 )
$shipping = 22.59;
else if( $cny >= 200 && $cny < 250 )

else if( $cny >= 250 && $cny < 300 )

$shipping = 29.27;
/*Exchange rate CNY to EURO */
$cny_to_euro = 0.124;
$euro = $cny * $cny_to_euro ;
$price = $euro + $shipping;
$price = number_format($price,2);
$data=array(
'id'=>$post_ID,
