Meta Box

Hi Long,

That is great, thanks!

thanks

Hi Long,

I have found the issue, I added the following filter a few days ago; which I can confirm that once removed fixed the database error.

add_filter( 'pre_delete_post', function( $null, $post, $force_delete ) {
    if( $force_delete == false ) {
        return wp_trash_post( $post->ID );
    }
    return $null;
}, 10, 3 );

I added the above code as all my custom post types were being force deleted every time (when set to false) https://support.metabox.io/topic/deleting-custom-post_type-with-frontend-submission-form-permanently-deletes-post/

Any ideas why?

Thanks

Hi Long,

Ok thanks, just checking before I start developing on this. Well thanks for the example but I am after using custom table meta and not the post ID. But I understand that I will have to grab the column values and then reference the post ID.

Ah ok thanks. So in regards to custom models i will still have to check if a database row is available beforehand. I assume ill have to do this via wpdb.

Hi Long,

Ok so I am running this code inside a class within my own plugin (oop structure). I have just realised this is being called too early? If i wrap this code inside wp_loaded it works. I guess I cant use the helper function then as I need this to run before the page loads. Is there any other option? other than direct wpbd calls?

add_action( 'wp_loaded','test' );
function test() {
    $value = rwmb_meta( 'city', ['storage_type' => 'custom_table', 'table' => 'wp_dc_users', 'object_type' => 'user'], 3 );
    var_dump($value);
}

I have also tested this inside my theme files and it does load the value correctly.
