I've been building a custom post type and want to include a custom meta box but I can't get it to save.
This is my custom post type function which works
// Custom post type function
function custom_post_type() {
// Set UI labels for Custom Post Type
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'Models', 'Post Type General Name', 'metro' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Model', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'metro' ),
'menu_name' => __( 'Models', 'metro' ),
'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Model', 'metro' ),
'all_items' => __( 'All Models', 'metro' ),
'view_item' => __( 'View Model', 'metro' ),
'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Model', 'metro' ),
'add_new' => __( 'Add New', 'metro' ),
'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Model', 'metro' ),
'update_item' => __( 'Update Model', 'metro' ),
'search_items' => __( 'Search Model', 'metro' ),
'not_found' => __( 'Not Found', 'metro' ),
'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'Not found in Trash', 'metro' ),
);
// Set other options for Custom Post Type
$args = array(
'label' => __( 'Models', 'metro' ),
'description' => __( 'Model news and reviews', 'metro' ),
'labels' => $labels,
// Features this CPT supports in Post Editor
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'revisions' ),
// You can associate this CPT with a taxonomy or custom taxonomy.
//'taxonomies' => array( 'genres' ),
/* A hierarchical CPT is like Pages and can have
* Parent and child items. A non-hierarchical CPT
* is like Posts.
*/
'hierarchical' => false,
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_in_menu' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'show_in_admin_bar' => true,
'menu_position' => 5,
'can_export' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
'exclude_from_search' => false,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'register_meta_box_cb' => 'add_models_metaboxes'
);
// Registering your Custom Post Type
register_post_type( 'Models', $args );
}
/* Hook into the 'init' action so that the function
* Containing our post type registration is not
* unnecessarily executed.
*/
add_action( 'init', 'custom_post_type' );
This is the metabox code
/**
* Custom MetaBoxes
*/
function add_models_metaboxes() {
add_meta_box('tj_modeldetails', 'Model Details', 'tj_modeldetails', 'models', 'normal', 'high');
}
// The Event Location Metabox
function tj_modeldetails() {
global $post;
// Noncename needed to verify where the data originated
echo '<input type="hidden" name="eventmeta_noncename" id="eventmeta_noncename" value="' .
wp_create_nonce( plugin_basename(__FILE__) ) . '" />';
// Get the location data if its already been entered
$dress_size = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_dress_size', true);
$height = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_height', true);
$bust = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_bust', true);
$waist = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_waist', true);
$hips = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_hips', true);
$shoe = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_shoe', true);
$hair = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_hair', true);
$eyes = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_eyes', true);
// Echo out the field
echo '<p>Dress Size:</p>';
echo '<input type="text" name="_dress_size" value="' . $dress_size . '" class="widefat" />';
echo '<p>Height:</p>';
echo '<input type="text" name="_height" value="'. $height . '" class="widefat" />';
echo '<p>Bust:</p>';
echo '<input type="text" name="_bust" value="'. $bust . '" class="widefat" />';
echo '<p>Waist:</p>';
echo '<input type="text" name="_waist" value="'. $waist . '" class="widefat" />';
echo '<p>Hips:</p>';
echo '<input type="text" name="_hips" value="'. $hips . '" class="widefat" />';
echo '<p>Shoe:</p>';
echo '<input type="text" name="_shoe" value="'. $shoe . '" class="widefat" />';
echo '<p>Hair:</p>';
echo '<input type="text" name="_hair" value="'. $hair . '" class="widefat" />';
echo '<p>Eyes:</p>';
echo '<input type="text" name="_eyes" value="'. $eyes . '" class="widefat" />';
}
function tj_save_models_meta($post_id, $post) {
// verify this came from our screen with proper authorisation.
if ( !wp_verify_nonce( $_POST['modelmeta_noncename'], plugin_basename(__FILE__) )) {
return $post->ID;
}
// is user allowed to edit the post or page
if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post->ID ))
return $post->ID;
// Put metaboxes into an array
$models_meta['_dress_size'] = $_POST['_dress_size'];
$models_meta['_height'] = $_POST['_height'];
$models_meta['_bust'] = $_POST['_bust'];
$models_meta['_waist'] = $_POST['_waist'];
$models_meta['_hips'] = $_POST['_hips'];
$models_meta['_shoe'] = $_POST['_shoe'];
$models_meta['_hair'] = $_POST['_hair'];
$models_meta['_eyes'] = $_POST['_eyes'];
foreach ( $models_meta as $key => $value ) {
if( $post->post_type == 'revision' ) return; // don't store custom data twice
#$value = implode(',', (array)$value); // If $value is an array, make it a CSV (unlikely)
if( get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, FALSE) ) {
update_post_meta($post->ID, $key, $value);
} else {
add_post_meta($post->ID, $key, $value);
}
if(!$value) delete_post_meta($post->ID, $key);
}
}
add_action('save_post', 'tj_save_models_meta', 1, 2);
While the metaboxes do show in the post window when I click publish the values aren't saved. Any idea what I'm missing?
