Toolset Plugin: Update comma separated string to Array for meta data saved via Front-end Posting
Updating a comma separated string to Array for WordPress meta data via Front-end Posting when creating a new post after form submission.
The below code is useful for
Checkbox fields made within Toolset plugin. Since Super Forms Front-end Posting saves them as a comma separated string, we must convert it to an array so that Toolset can properly retrieve these values.function f4d_convert_metadata( $attr ) {
// CHANGE THIS LIST TO ANY META DATA YOU NEED TO CONVERT
$meta_keys = array( 'your_meta_key_here1', 'your_meta_key_here2', 'your_meta_key_here3' );
// DO NOT CHANGE BELOW CODE
$post_id = $attr['post_id'];
foreach($meta_keys as $meta_key){
// Grab meta value
$meta_value = get_post_meta( $post_id, $meta_key, true );
// Convert to Array
$meta_value = explode(',', $meta_value);
// Save it as array
update_post_meta( $post_id, $meta_key, $meta_value );
}
}
add_action('super_front_end_posting_after_insert_post_action', 'f4d_convert_metadata', 10, 1);
