Saving data from Quick Edit and Bulk Edit need JavaScript helpers.
The following code comes out of a production system using the video custom post type before I wrote the the WordPress bulk edit plugin Custom Bulk/Quick Edit.
File quick_edit.js
// @ref http://rachelcarden.com/2012/03/manage-wordpress-posts-using-bulk-edit-and-quick-edit/
(function($) {
// we create a copy of the WP inline edit post function
var $wp_inline_edit = inlineEditPost.edit;
// and then we overwrite the function with our own code
inlineEditPost.edit = function( id ) {
// "call" the original WP edit function
// we don't want to leave WordPress hanging
$wp_inline_edit.apply( this, arguments );
// now we take care of our business
// get the post ID
var $post_id = 0;
if ( typeof( id ) == 'object' )
$post_id = parseInt( this.getId( id ) );
if ( $post_id > 0 ) {
// define the edit row
var $edit_row = $( '#edit-' + $post_id );
var $post_row = $( '#post-' + $post_id );
// get the data
var $additional_copies = $( '.column-additional_copies', $post_row ).html();
var $main_credits = $( '.column-main_credits', $post_row ).html();
// populate the data
$( ':input[name="additional_copies"]', $edit_row ).val( $additional_copies );
$( ':input[name="main_credits"]', $edit_row ).val( $main_credits );
}
};
$( '#bulk_edit' ).live( 'click', function() {
// define the bulk edit row
var $bulk_row = $( '#bulk-edit' );
// get the selected post ids that are being edited
var $post_ids = new Array();
$bulk_row.find( '#bulk-titles' ).children().each( function() {
$post_ids.push( $( this ).attr( 'id' ).replace( /^(ttle)/i, '' ) );
});
// get the data
var $additional_copies = $bulk_row.find( 'textarea[name="additional_copies"]' ).val();
var $main_credits = $bulk_row.find( 'textarea[name="main_credits"]' ).val();
// save the data
$.ajax({
url: ajaxurl, // this is a variable that WordPress has already defined for us
type: 'POST',
async: false,
cache: false,
data: {
action: 'save_bulk_edit_video', // this is the name of our WP AJAX function that we'll set up next
post_ids: $post_ids, // and these are the 2 parameters we're passing to our function
additional_copies: $additional_copies,
main_credits: $main_credits
}
});
});
})(jQuery);
