ParticipantHi,
I'm trying to create a tracking history for the vehicle delivery service, everytime the booking post is updated I will take the current date and time along with other values and store it in a key value field.Update 1 (key) : Date, Time, Location, Status ( value )
The issue is this is stored in a custom table and I cannot get my code to create key and value fields on the booking which then I will return to be used in a custom HTML field to output a tracking table.
How can I create key value field entries via PHP to be stored in a custom table?
Note: I've created the fields using Metabox GUI.

ModeratorHi,
You can use public APIs of MB Custom Table to add/update values of custom fields in the custom table, please read more on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-custom-table/#api
August 8, 2022 at 4:27 PM #37398ParticipantHi,
I wrote this code but doesn't add anything to the key value field or the database:add_action( 'init', function($post_id) {
$data = [ 'tracking_history_data' => 'keyTest', 'valueTest' ];
\MetaBox\CustomTable\API::add( $post_id, "aaypmz_recoveroo_tracking_history", $data );
}, 99 );August 8, 2022 at 6:25 PM #37400ModeratorHi,
The
inithook does not support passing the post ID to the callback function, please read more here https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/init/You can try to use the hook
save_postto use the updated post ID in the callback function.

Still doesn't work, here is the updated code:add_action('save_post', function ($post_id) {
$data2 = [ 'tracking_history_data' => 'testKey', 'testvalue' ];
\MetaBox\CustomTable\API::add( $post_id, "aaypmz_recoveroo_tracking_history", $data2 );
}
});August 10, 2022 at 12:45 PM #37436ModeratorHi,
You need to add the pair key and value in an array like this
add_action( 'save_post', function( $post_id ) { $data2 = [ 'tracking_history_data' => [ 'testKey' => 'testvalue', 'testKey2' => 'testvalue2' ], ]; \MetaBox\CustomTable\API::add( $post_id, "aaypmz_recoveroo_tracking_history", $data2 ); } );If the field
tracking_history_dataalready has a value, you need to change the functionaddtoupdate.August 10, 2022 at 4:53 PM #37438ParticipantHi again,
Here is another issue 🙂When I add Key Value using the above code, this is the entry in the database column:
a:2:{s:8:"TestKey1";s:10:"TestValue1";s:8:"TestKey2";s:10:"TestValue2";}
And when I add it through the GUI, this is the database entry:
a:2:{i:0;a:2:{i:0;s:8:"TestKey1";i:1;s:10:"TestValue1";}i:1;a:2:{i:0;s:8:"TestKey2";i:1;s:10:"TestValue2";}}
The issue is that the Key Value is added to the database, however it won't show on the GUI unless the entry is same as the second format above, how do I make it so that it shows up on the post type edit screen.
August 11, 2022 at 12:40 PM #37447ModeratorHi,
If you are using the field type key_value to save value in the custom table, here is the correct code to add/update value
add_action( 'save_post', function( $post_id ) { $data2 = [ 'tracking_history_data' => [ ['key10', 'value10'], ['key11', 'value11'], ['key12', 'value12'] ] ]; \MetaBox\CustomTable\API::add( $post_id, "aaypmz_recoveroo_tracking_history", $data2 ); } );August 11, 2022 at 1:07 PM #37448ParticipantI can't believe it I missed the [ ] brackets on the values, thank you so much now it works, thanks
August 25, 2022 at 10:04 AM #38029ParticipantHi,
I've run into an issue again, how do I update the text field inside the group?$data3 = [ 'tracking_history_data_group' => [ ['awaiting_confirmation_thistory' => $testDate], ['booking_confirmed_thistory' => 'value11'] ] ]; \MetaBox\CustomTable\API::update( $post_id, "aaypmz_recoveroo_tracking_history", $data3 );Tried this but doesn't work.
August 25, 2022 at 12:50 PM #38036ModeratorHi,
