There are three main functions to add the meta box for taxonomy.Which are invoked through following hooks:
- {taxonomy_name}_add_form_fields
- {taxonomy_name}_edit_form_fields
- edited_{taxonomy_name}
- create_{taxonomy_name}
Here , you can change the taxonomy_name with any predefined or custom taxonomy accordingly.I am using “Woocommerce product taxonomy” and created a plugin for same.Please review following functions to add custom field:
{taxonomy_name}_add_form_fields add new custom field to add new term page form.Here I am creating a field to add a Class for term.
Add the following code in functions.php in your theme
public function mj_taxonomy_add_custom_meta_field() {
?>
<div class="form-field">
<label for="term_meta[class_term_meta]"><?php _e( 'Add Class', 'MJ' ); ?></label>
<input type="text" name="term_meta[class_term_meta]" id="term_meta[class_term_meta]" value="">
<p class="description"><?php _e( 'Enter a value for this field','MJ' ); ?></p>
</div>
<?php
}
add_action( 'product_cat_add_form_fields', 'mj_taxonomy_add_custom_field', 10, 2 );
{taxonomy_name}_edit_form_fields add a field on term edit page
public function mj_taxonomy_edit_custom_meta_field($term) {
$t_id = $term->term_id;
$term_meta = get_option( "taxonomy_$t_id" );
?>
<tr class="form-field">
<th scope="row" valign="top"><label for="term_meta[class_term_meta]"><?php _e( 'Add Class', 'MJ' ); ?></label></th>
<td>
<input type="text" name="term_meta[class_term_meta]" id="term_meta[class_term_meta]" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $term_meta['class_term_meta'] ) ? esc_attr( $term_meta['class_term_meta'] ) : ''; ?>">
<p class="description"><?php _e( 'Enter a value for this field','MJ' ); ?></p>
</td>
</tr>
<?php
}
add_action( 'product_cat_edit_form_fields','mj_taxonomy_edit_custom_meta_field', 10, 2 );
public function mj_save_taxonomy_custom_meta_field( $term_id ) {
if ( isset( $_POST['term_meta'] ) ) {
$t_id = $term_id;
$term_meta = get_option( "taxonomy_$t_id" );
$cat_keys = array_keys( $_POST['term_meta'] );
foreach ( $cat_keys as $key ) {
if ( isset ( $_POST['term_meta'][$key] ) ) {
$term_meta[$key] = $_POST['term_meta'][$key];
}
}
// Save the option array.
update_option( "taxonomy_$t_id", $term_meta );
}
}
add_action( 'edited_product_cat', 'mj_save_taxonomy_custom_meta_field', 10, 2 );
add_action( 'create_product_cat', 'mj_save_taxonomy_custom_meta_field', 10, 2 );
