Update my custom write/post code WordPress

Jagst3r15 comments:

Okay so you see in functions.php the code at the buttom under the commented credits? I am trying to use the updated code that is in the tutorial and simply plug in my existing stuff like web-url, designed-by, and the full path to image/icon. This new code is apparently faster and I am trying to keep my theme as up to date as possible.

The new code is this:


$key = "key";
$meta_boxes = array(
"image" => array(
"name" => "image",
"title" => "Image",
"description" => "Using the \"<em>Add an Image</em>\" button, upload an image and paste the URL here. Images will be resized. This is the Article's main image and will automatically be sized."),
"tinyurl" => array(
"name" => "tinyurl",
"title" => "Tiny URL",
"description" => "Add a small URL of this post that will be used to track tweets, and share the post.")
);

function create_meta_box() {
global $key;

if( function_exists( 'add_meta_box' ) ) {
add_meta_box( 'new-meta-boxes', ucfirst( $key ) . ' Custom Post Options', 'display_meta_box', 'post', 'normal', 'high' );
}
}

function display_meta_box() {
global $post, $meta_boxes, $key;
?>

<div class="form-wrap">

<?php
wp_nonce_field( plugin_basename( __FILE__ ), $key . '_wpnonce', false, true );

foreach($meta_boxes as $meta_box) {
$data = get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true);
?>

<div class="form-field form-required">
<label for="<?php echo $meta_box[ 'name' ]; ?>"><?php echo $meta_box[ 'title' ]; ?></label>
<input type="text" name="<?php echo $meta_box[ 'name' ]; ?>" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars( $data[ $meta_box[ 'name' ] ] ); ?>" />
<p><?php echo $meta_box[ 'description' ]; ?></p>
</div>

<?php } ?>

</div>
<?php
}

function save_meta_box( $post_id ) {
global $post, $meta_boxes, $key;

foreach( $meta_boxes as $meta_box ) {
$data[ $meta_box[ 'name' ] ] = $_POST[ $meta_box[ 'name' ] ];
}

if ( !wp_verify_nonce( $_POST[ $key . '_wpnonce' ], plugin_basename(__FILE__) ) )
return $post_id;

if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post_id ))
return $post_id;

update_post_meta( $post_id, $key, $data );
}

add_action( 'admin_menu', 'create_meta_box' );
add_action( 'save_post', 'save_meta_box' );


I'm sorry if I am not being too specific. Let me know if you want a higher prize amount or more explanation. My impression was that it is rather easy to do since it is the same code essentially, just an updated version where you need to plug in the old stuff in the right places.

BTW: this is for a gallery theme whereby the user adds this extra info when they are writing up or editing their post (it appears in a meta box).

Look at this http://jagst3r15.com/2008/06/post-format-test-image-attached/ and youll see the stuff appearing in the meta. This is more for backend stuff so nothing will be changes on the front end i think.

Arnav Joy comments:

at the place where you want to use the values of meta field may be at single.php or at any other file where you are showing these posts

inside the loop

if(have_posts())
while(have_posts()):the_post();
---
---
endwhile;
endif;

Jagst3r15 comments:

I am using a child theme though and thought I could just add to functions.php. The code you gave does not work in there. Sorry its my fault for not explaining

Jagst3r15 comments:

maybe if you see the site you can get a better idea? Want me to send wp user and pass?

Arnav Joy comments:

check single.php
