Just a quick update to my last question/issue.
I got into the DB and looked at wp_postmeta. In there I see several new fields created after manually updating the post from within the dashboard. These are _pdf_xls_0_file, _pdf_xls, and _pdf_xls_0_type. In this instance, they have values of field_5244a55cc2d61, field_51ffa871373aa, and field_5244a63d620cd respectively. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can correctly provide this information via XML-RPC.
Do you have any suggestions on this @elliot?
EDIT: Obviously, this works too because I can get the post_meta, but still…
for ($i=0, $x=get_post_meta($report->ID, 'pdf_xls', true); $i < $x; $i++) {
$file = wp_get_attachment_url(get_post_meta($report->ID, "pdf_xls_{$i}_file", true));
$type = get_post_meta($report->ID, "pdf_xls_{$i}_type", true);
?><a target="_blank" href="<?=$file?>"><?=$type?></a> <?php
}
Hey @elliot, I do still seem to have one issue here.
Although I am now able to send up all of this data via XML-RPC and receive it back as I expect it (via wp.getPost), the data does not seem to be readable in the theme.
If I execute something like this:
if (get_field('pdf_xls', $report->ID)) {
while (has_sub_field('pdf_xls', $report->ID)) {
$file = get_sub_field('file');
$type = get_sub_field('type');
?><a target="_blank" href="<?=$file['url']?>"><?php the_sub_field('type'); ?></a> <?php
}
}
Then the output is <a target="_blank" href=""></a>, which seems to indicate that the get_sub_field() values are empty. If, however, I got into the post to edit it and hit UPDATE POST(without making any other modifications), then the theme code returns the values as expected.
Am I missing something that may rationalize the data for the WP database?
Unfortunately I don’t have direct access to the DB for this project, but I’m trying to set up an example so I can see what changes there may be before vs after the additional UPDATE.
I’ll post any findings.
Hey @elliot, thanks for the quick response!
As it happens, I was nesting my file and type field values an extra level before generating the XML call so I was sending an array like this:
array(
'pdf_xls' => 1,
array(
'pdf_xls_0_file' => 1111,
),
array(
'pdf_xls_0_type' => 'pdf',
),
);
When it should have been more like this:
array(
'pdf_xls' => 1,
'pdf_xls_0_file' => 1111,
'pdf_xls_0_type' => 'pdf',
);
