As geo mashup only retrieves post_meta, I am trying to copy over the geo_location from a custom registration field into the meta for page containing the map.
The code I am using is:
<?php
$blogusers = get_users_of_blog();
if ($blogusers) {
foreach ($blogusers as $bloguser) {
$user = get_userdata($bloguser->user_id);
$user_location = the_author_meta('geo_address', $user->ID);
add_post_meta( 463, 'geo_move', $user_location);
}}
?>
This creates the post meta, but the value is written as a blank, so it looks like $user_location isn't working. Any suggestions?
The answer was submitted here: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/121713/retrieve-user-meta-and-copy-to-post-meta
I'm answering this myself to close this and not waste anyones time

I get this code (see below) to create a Product Variation Custom Field. It works just fine. Now I need to use the WP All Import Pro plugin to import Products from a csv file. This plugin allow to create the importation task by mapping the information in the csv to the fields of Product and Product Variation.
Problem: thing is that the new created Product Variation Custom Field is not visible for the WP All Import plugin. I mean, this new field is not listed when I do the mapping of the data be imported.
My assumption is that this code fails to create some data in the database to make this field available for other module.
How can I get this to work properly
I also attached a capture of the WP All Import page where the field should be visible.

if ( isset( $_POST['variation_custom_data'][$i] ) ) {
// sanitize data in way that makes sense for your data type
$custom_data = ( trim( $_POST['variation_custom_data'][$i] ) === '' ) ? '' : sanitize_title( $_POST['variation_custom_data'][$i] );
update_post_meta( $variation_id, '_custom', $custom_data );
}
}
WP ALL IMPORT has this section coded into their files. They have not provide any hook or filter to add fields to this section.
The most important thing here is that WP ALL IMPORT has thought is like this :
As all the Meta for a particular variation is added finally to the post meta table. Which will be retrieved as by get_post_meta. Just like the custom fields. So in order to attach meta to the variation, you can just another Custom Fields with the Name as the name which the actual meta is stored with and with the value you want the variation to be. Just check the image attached. Refer - http://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/custom-fields/theme-plugin-fields/
I know this question was asked almost a year ago but I have been trying to figure out this exact issue out for quite some time now. But in the end I managed to find a workaround that at least will allow you to get that data into the variation instead of the main parent product:
1) In the WpAllImport Wordpress Addon you will be able to see a "variations" tab as shown in your screenshot. Click on this.
2) On this page you will once again not be able to see any custom fields you have made for variations HOWEVER there is a product attributes section.
3) If you add your variation as an attribute and uncheck "Show in variations" and "Taxonomy" and "Is Visible" then you can store your data in an attribute.
4) After the import you should be able to see you data in the attribute, if you know some programming you can even write a script to then loop through all variations and copy this data over to a custom field.
I know it's not much, but for my purposes I was at least able to save the data in the variation which I then used late in a product export plugin.
Hope that helps!
Though this question was initially asked 2 years ago. I found a solution in 2020. I hope this will help anyone who's still looking for a solution.
Please go to All Products and at the top where it says Add New Product you should see two more buttons "Import" and "Export". Click on Export and you will see an option of checkbox "Yes, export all custom meta" Please check this potion and all your custom fields even in variations will be exported.
Thanks
How can I add custom product field/s on quick edit screen on the product listing of a woocommerce store?
I am not really sure if this is the best way to do it, but it works great for me
Basically my general goal is to add custom fields for a product, I managed to do it (Adding custom fields to the single product pages) with the help of these useful tuts.
http://www.remicorson.com/mastering-woocommerce-products-custom-fields/
http://www.remicorson.com/woocommerce-custom-fields-for-variations/
I recommend checking those links first before proceeding.
Now, what I wanted to do is to add those custom fields to the quick add option on the product listing.
That's where the resource get scarce.
Basically this is how I did it.
Add your custom field (the html forms) to the quick edit options.
I hooked into the 'woocommerce_product_quick_edit_end' action to accomplish this.
This hook is found on woocommerce->includes->admin->views->html-quick-edit-product.php on line 195
Save your custom field.
I hooked into the 'woocommerce_product_quick_edit_save' action to accomplish this.
This hook is found on woocommerce->includes->admin->class-wc-admin-post-types.php inside the 'quick_edit_save' function on line 929
The previous 2 steps does the trick, it does persist the values, however after updating the custom field via the quick edit option, the data is persisted on the backend, but is not populated to the custom field on the UI. That's why we need the 3rd step.
Add the custom field meta data inside the product listing column, then use js to extract the metadata out then populate it to the custom field
I hooked into the 'manage_product_posts_custom_column' action to add a custom HTML tags (div or whatever) to hold my custom field metadata
Then I used javascript to extract the data out from the meta data and populate it into the custom fields
Step 3 is just a copy of how WooCommerce does this process.
For referrence, take a look at function 'render_product_columns' of woocommerce->includes->admin->class-wc-admin-post-types.php
Also take a look at quick-edit.js located at woocommerce->assets->js->admin
Example Code:
Note that the code below is used for illustration and guide purposes, my actual code is quite long and complex.
Step 1:
add_action( 'woocommerce_product_quick_edit_end', function(){
/*
Notes:
Take a look at the name of the text field, '_custom_field_demo', that is the name of the custom field, basically its just a post meta
The value of the text field is blank, it is intentional
*/
?>
<div class="custom_field_demo">
<label class="alignleft">
<div class="title"><?php _e('Custom Field Demo', 'woocommerce' ); ?></div>
<input type="text" name="_custom_field_demo" class="text" placeholder="<?php _e( 'Custom Field Demo', 'woocommerce' ); ?>" value="">
</label>
</div>
<?php
} );
Step 2:
add_action('woocommerce_product_quick_edit_save', function($product){
/*
Notes:
$_REQUEST['_custom_field_demo'] -> the custom field we added above
Only save custom fields on quick edit option on appropriate product types (simple, etc..)
Custom fields are just post meta
*/
if ( $product->is_type('simple') || $product->is_type('external') ) {
$post_id = $product->id;
if ( isset( $_REQUEST['_custom_field_demo'] ) ) {
$customFieldDemo = trim(esc_attr( $_REQUEST['_custom_field_demo'] ));
// Do sanitation and Validation here
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_custom_field_demo', wc_clean( $customFieldDemo ) );
}
}
}, 10, 1);
Step 3:
add_action( 'manage_product_posts_custom_column', function($column,$post_id){
/*
Notes:
The 99 is just my OCD in action, I just want to make sure this callback gets executed after WooCommerce's
*/
switch ( $column ) {
case 'name' :
?>
<div class="hidden custom_field_demo_inline" id="custom_field_demo_inline_<?php echo $post_id; ?>">
<div id="_custom_field_demo"><?php echo get_post_meta($post_id,'_custom_field_demo',true); ?></div>
</div>
<?php
break;
default :
break;
}
}, 99, 2);
The JS part
jQuery(function(){
jQuery('#the-list').on('click', '.editinline', function(){
/**
* Extract metadata and put it as the value for the custom field form
*/
inlineEditPost.revert();
var post_id = jQuery(this).closest('tr').attr('id');
post_id = post_id.replace("post-", "");
var $cfd_inline_data = jQuery('#custom_field_demo_inline_' + post_id),
$wc_inline_data = jQuery('#woocommerce_inline_' + post_id );
jQuery('input[name="_custom_field_demo"]', '.inline-edit-row').val($cfd_inline_data.find("#_custom_field_demo").text());
/**
* Only show custom field for appropriate types of products (simple)
*/
var product_type = $wc_inline_data.find('.product_type').text();
if (product_type=='simple' || product_type=='external') {
jQuery('.custom_field_demo', '.inline-edit-row').show();
} else {
jQuery('.custom_field_demo', '.inline-edit-row').hide();
}
});
});
Make sure to enqueue the script
Hope this helps anyone, again, I am not sure if this is the best way to do it, but upon examining WooCommerce source, it seems WooCommerce
doesn't provide a convenient hook to accomplish this task with ease (at least not yet)
If you have a better approach than this please share.
I create this function for metaboxes and to save information, but I can´t save the info and show it into the field.
My Code :
function reaction_buttons_meta2()
{
global $post;
$reaction_buttons_off2 = false;
if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, '_reaction_buttons_off2', true) ) {
$reaction_buttons_off = true;
}
update_post_meta($post->ID, 'reaction_buttons_off2', $_POST['reaction_buttons_off2']);
$meta=get_post_meta($post->ID, $field['reaction_buttons_off2'], true);
?>
<input type="text" id="reaction_buttons_off2" name="reaction_buttons_off2" value="<?php echo $meta[reaction_buttons_off2][0]; ?>">
<?php
}
function reaction_buttons_meta_box2()
{
add_meta_box('reaction_buttons2','Reaction Buttons','reaction_buttons_meta2','post','side');
add_meta_box('reaction_buttons2','Reaction Buttons','reaction_buttons_meta2','page','side');
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'reaction_buttons_meta_box2');
I need to put a simple field to store one option and after this show it in the template post.
I have never created meta boxes myself, but looking at your code all you do is trying to update meta but you need to add it first with add_post_meta.
Check this article on How To Create Custom Post Meta Boxes In WordPress.
For your issue, pay attention to Saving the meta box data section. As you can see, their function uses add_post_meta, update_post_meta and delete_post_meta functions.
When someone edits a post created by somebody else and changes the author of the post, can the avatar shown for that post throughout the site change to reflect the newly designated author?
It seems like Wordpress always wants to show the avatar of the user who created the post, regardless of who the author may have been changed to after the fact.
The last author is saved in the (hidden) post meta field _edit_last, so you could do something like:
$last_id = get_post_meta( get_queried_object_id(), '_edit_last', true );
$last_user = get_userdata( $last_id );
echo get_avatar( $last_user->user_email );
is there a way (plugin) to insert html/css/images ect.. automatically into every wordpress post? most of my posts are going to be very similar so is there a plugin that will automatically insert the pre written html/css/ ect in every post as opposed to me entering it manually every time.
Thank you in advance ;-)
You can write your own simple function for this, see my example below:
add_filter( 'default_content', 'my_editor_content' );
function my_editor_content( $content ) {
global $post_type;
if( $post_type == 'post') { /* Or your custom post type, pages etc. */
$content = 'Your custom HTML/CSS content here';
}
return $content;
}
Place this in functions.php and it will be the default content of every new post/page/custom post type you create.
For a list of available post types, please refer to the Codex
You could use a plugin such as Ad injection, it will allow you to do what you need without having to alter / amend / ad any code to the templates or files
