Hi together,
I’m using a save_post action in order to clear the transient-data of some values saved in a specific options page. The point is that the action will always run when I save any kind of options page. Is it possible to get more specific in there?
function clear_advert_main_transient($post_id) {
if ( $post_id == 'options' ) {
delete_transient('advert_main_transient1');
delete_transient('advert_main_transient2');
delete_transient('advert_main_transient3');
}
//return $post_id;
}
add_action('acf/save_post', 'clear_advert_main_transient', 20);
I found a solution after reading this post: http://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/when-using-save_post-action-how-do-you-identify-which-options-page/
While using WP get_current_screen()-function you can check if the ID in the output-array contains the slug of your specific option page.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_current_screen
For example you have an options page called “adverts” and want run the function mentioned above when you save this specific option page:
function clear_advert_main_transient() {
$screen = get_current_screen();
if (strpos($screen->id, "acf-options-adverts") == true) {
delete_transient('advert_main_transient1');
delete_transient('advert_main_transient2');
delete_transient('advert_main_transient3');
}
}
add_action('acf/save_post', 'clear_advert_main_transient', 20);
Now WP Transients make even more fun and will save you tons of queries if you have complex acf-fields and loops! 🙂
I have a many option page. For example i have the:
Product Page
Service Page
Theme Option Page
With many fields. Is possible applicate your code in my specific case?
Of course. I have five different option pages.
Create a function for each option page with the the condition above and replace the string “acf-options-adverts” with the slug of the attached option page (you may have a look in the url-bar of each page).
In your case for example I could imagine the code to look like this:
if (strpos($screen->id, "acf-options-product") == true) {…
if (strpos($screen->id, "acf-options-service") == true) {…
if (strpos($screen->id, "acf-options-theme-option") == true) {…
sorry for my answer, but this:
delete_transient('advert_main_transient1');
delete_transient('advert_main_transient2');
delete_transient('advert_main_transient3');
What call?
These functions are just placeholders. You can replace them by any code you would like to run when saving the specific option page.
In my case I clear three transients when I save my option page.
you’re welcome! Hope it will be usefull for you (:
Rock on. This is just what I needed. Thanks.
