I am working on review plugin for my wordpress blog, and I have small problems. First this is the Plugin code:
add_action( 'init', 'create_devicemondo_review' );
function create_devicemondo_review() {
register_post_type( 'review',
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => 'DeviceMondo Reviews',
'singular_name' => 'DeviceMondo Review',
'add_new' => 'Add New',
'add_new_item' => 'Add New Product Review',
'edit' => 'Edit',
'edit_item' => 'Edit Product Review',
'new_item' => 'New Product Review',
'view' => 'View',
'view_item' => 'View Product Review',
'search_items' => 'Search Product Reviews',
'not_found' => 'No Product Reviews found',
'not_found_in_trash' => 'No Product Reviews found in Trash',
'parent' => 'Parent Product Review'
),
'public' => true,
'menu_position' => 15,
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'comments', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'custom-fields' ),
'taxonomies' => array( '' ),
'menu_icon' => plugins_url( 'images/image.png', __FILE__ ),
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'review', 'with_front' => false ),
'has_archive' => true
)
);
}
//Creating Meta Box Fields for Custom Post Types
add_action( 'admin_init', 'my_admin' );
function my_admin() {
add_meta_box( 'product_review_meta_box',
'Product Review Details',
'display_product_review_meta_box',
'review', 'normal', 'high'
);
}
//Implementation of the display_product_review_meta_box Function
function display_product_review_meta_box( $review ) {
// Retrieve current product type and product rating based on review ID
$product_choice = esc_html( get_post_meta( $review->ID, 'product_choice', true ) );
$product_type = esc_html( get_post_meta( $review->ID, 'product_type', true ) );
$product_rating = intval( get_post_meta( $review->ID, 'product_rating', true ) );
?>
<table>
<tr>
<td style="width: 100%">Editor Choice</td>
<td><input type="text" size="80" name="product_review_choice" value="<?php echo $product_choice; ?>" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width: 100%">Product Type</td>
<td><input type="text" size="80" name="product_review_type" value="<?php echo $product_type; ?>" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width: 150px">Product Rating</td>
<td>
<select style="width: 100px" name="product_review_rating">
<?php
// Generate all items of drop-down list
for ( $rating = 5; $rating >= 1; $rating -- ) {
?>
<option value="<?php echo $rating; ?>" <?php echo selected( $rating, $product_rating ); ?>>
<?php echo $rating; ?> stars <?php } ?>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php
}
//Registering a Save Post Function
add_action( 'save_post', 'add_product_review_fields', 10, 3 );
//Implementation of the add_product_review_fields Function
function add_product_review_fields( $product_review_id, $product_review ) {
// Check post type for product reviews
if ( $product_review->post_type == 'review' ) {
// Store data in post meta table if present in post data
if ( isset( $_POST['product_review_choice'] ) && $_POST['product_review_choice'] != '' ) {
update_post_meta( $product_review_id, 'product_choice', $_POST['product_review_choice'] );
}
if ( isset( $_POST['product_review_type'] ) && $_POST['product_review_type'] != '' ) {
update_post_meta( $product_review_id, 'product_type', $_POST['product_review_type'] );
}
if ( isset( $_POST['product_review_rating'] ) && $_POST['product_review_rating'] != '' ) {
update_post_meta( $product_review_id, 'product_rating', $_POST['product_review_rating'] );
}
}
}
//Register a Function to Force the Dedicated Template
add_filter( 'template_include', 'include_template_function', 1 );
//Implementation of the function
function include_template_function( $template_path ) {
if ( get_post_type() == 'review' ) {
if ( is_single() ) {
// checks if the file exists in the theme first,
// otherwise serve the file from the plugin
if ( $theme_file = locate_template( array ( 'single-review.php' ) ) ) {
$template_path = $theme_file;
} else {
$template_path = plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . '/single-review.php';
}
}
}
return $template_path;
}
now the plugin works just fine and I have created a page with template single-review.php from my template folder. This page shows the list of all reviews I have published using this plugin. This is the code for that template:
<div id="primary">
<div id="content" role="main" style="width: 605px!important;">
<?php
$mypost = array( 'post_type' => 'review', 'posts_per_page' => 1,);
$loop = new WP_Query( $mypost );
?>
<?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();?>
<article class="brd-bottom" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<!-- Display featured image in right-aligned floating div -->
<div class="review-thumb">
<?php the_post_thumbnail( array( 100, 100 ) ); ?>
</div>
<div class="review-short-content">
<ul>
<li id="indv_title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<li>
<div style="float: left">
<?php
$nb_stars = intval( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'product_rating', true ) );
for ( $star_counter = 1; $star_counter <= 5; $star_counter++ ) {
if ( $star_counter <= $nb_stars ) {
echo '<img src="' . plugins_url( 'devicemondo-reviews/images/icon.png' ) . '" />';
} else {
echo '<img src="' . plugins_url( 'devicemondo-reviews/images/grey.png' ). '" />';
}
}
?>
</div>
<?php
$key = 'product_choice';
$themeta = get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, TRUE);
if($themeta != '') {
echo '<div class="editor-pick">Editor Choice</div>';
}
?></li>
<li><?php the_terms( $post->ID, 'device_reviews_device_brand' , ' ' ); ?> <?php the_excerpt(); ?></li>
</ul>
</div>
<!-- Display product
review contents -->
</article>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
</div>
now the page which uses single-review.php template also shows all results BUT the link which I added <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> does not shows the content on its page. It shows the list of all reviews again. I hope someone understand what I am trying to solve, and if you want I can provide you with link to test page I have.
