I have created the custom plug-in to store the user information via CSV import. For that i have created the custom post types along with custom fields. But everything stored in my database, except special characters in user name like 'Évana '. How to overcome this problem.
update_post_meta($post_id,'username_name', $line_of_text[1]);
Note: I have read all the values from CSV and converted into array. Here $line_of_text[1] holds the values of user name.
I stored the special characters values in my post title using the htmlentities() function.

I have a .net app that uses Firestore as a database and It's using Firestore Query to find some data. The problem is data fields that include Turkish characters but if someone uses my app and wants to search for data and if don't use Turkish characters, the query can not find this data.
For example, if I want to search my name on my app and my name is saved like "Ertuğrul" and if the user searches like "Ertugrul", the query can not find it. I need it to find it. Is there a way to do that?
My code that uses query is here:
QRef = DataBase.Collection("CollName").Document("DocName").Collection("CollName")
.WhereGreaterThanOrEqualTo("NameSurname", $"{NameSurname}")
.WhereLessThanOrEqualTo("NameSurname", $"{NameSurname}\uF7FF");
Firestore queries always return documents where a particular field holds a perfect match. If you want to be able to search for "Ertuğrul" as well as for "Ertugrul", then besides the "NameSurname" field you should consider adding a new field called "NameSurnameWithoutSpecialCharacters" and store each name without those Turkish characters.
When a user searches, simply verify if the searched term contains "special" characters. If it does, search on the "NameSurname", otherwise search on the newly created field.
I have a .csv file containing list of companies. I want to upload that .csv file so it will update the database, and in WordPress I want to see that data and edit it too.
I tried Custom Post type (ecpt plugin) and created the post type and created the meta-boxes each for one field, but I cannot show those values in the post fields. Can anyone tell me where I am wrong?
Thanks
After you create a custom post type, you need to enter your data.
And you need to make sure your template is coded to display that data.
As far as uploading a CSV, unless ECPT has that capability, you'll to use something like phpmyadmin to import the CSV into the database.
Currently, I'm using tablepress to output different info using a table format. I want users to be able to add to existing information. I need a form in wordpress that saves user posts to these different tables. How should I go about this? Sorry if I sound stupid but I'm soft on html.
Thanks.
If you want to insert in posts table using custom form, you can use wp_insert_post().
This function inserts posts (and pages) in the database. It sanitizes variables, does some checks, fills in missing variables like date/time, etc. It takes an object as its argument and returns the post ID of the created post (or 0 if there is an error).

Given a set of uploaded files in Request.Files, how do figure out which form field yielded which file?
I have a generic form emailer that various forms post to. This file generates an email of the name/value pairs contained in the form post. I'm trying to add support for uploaded files such that the table of name/value pairs will show the name of the file upload element and the name that the file was saved as.
However, I can't figure out how to link that information together. HttpPostedFile doesn't contain any information about the HTTP request (like which field name was used), and Request.Form doesn't contain any entries for uploaded files.
So while I can easily upload the files, I don't have an easy way to generate an email saying "this uploaded file was for this field, and this uploaded file was for that field".
Request.Files.Keys is a collection of field names corresponding to each uploaded file.
I can save/update on regular fields but I'm having trouble saving/updating CCK fields. here's an example node.save() XML request - http://pastebin.com/m5ceca16
I'm assuming your XML data mirrors the node object format.
A CCK field 'field_custom' will be accessible via $node->field_custom. Regardless of type and the limit on number of entries, fields are always arrays. If the CCK field only allows one entry, it is $node->field_custom[0].
The indexes below that level depend on the field type. Most, especially numeric and text fields, are 'value' (eg., $node->field_custom[0] = 'foo'). I've used Nodereference fields which use 'nid', from which I would assume Userreference fields use 'uid'.
The structure of your XML seems correct. I would check the structure of a node object on the site (using a var_dump() or the devel module) to make sure all of your array keys and variable names are correct for your field and field type.
2 things to check:
A var_dump of the results of a node_load() doesn't give you the exact format you should use. Your XML must emulate the input format of the node edit form. So while a var_dump might show you several taxonomy terms in an array, the node edit form may expect the taxonomy terms separated by commas. Off-hand I don't see any fields in your example that this would seem to apply to but I mention it anyway.
Your "changed" timestamp must not be in the future, nor must it be too far in the past. The node will not save if this is off by much. This can be an issue if the clocks on one of the computers isn't very accurate. I had an issue where my services server was about 20 seconds behind my services client so all the updates were getting rejected (the server apparently rejected them on the grounds that they were from the future).
