Custom Fields as Post Type Options

Question

Im using a theme for vehicle listings and the WPUF Pro plugin for frontend submitting.

WPUF plugin automatically reads the taxonomies of themes post_type (vehicle), but the theme got vehicle (details) options, that plugin cannot handle on save.

I tried to use the hook that weDevs provide in documentation, but no success (and no respond on tickets too).

On Screen Options I can enable the WPUF Custom Field and see the options that I submit on form, but i want to save them as vehicle options (same as I submit a vehicle as admin through dashboard).

theme/function.php

function wpuf_update_vehicle_year( $post_id ) {
    $year = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'seek_property_year', true );

    update_post_meta( $post_id, 'seek_property_year', $year );
}

add_action( 'wpuf_add_post_after_insert', 'wpuf_update_vehicle_year' );

Any suggestion on how i can pass the custom fields of WPUF to themes post_type options ?

Answer 1

Your code...

function wpuf_update_vehicle_year( $post_id ) {
    $year = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'seek_property_year', true );

    update_post_meta( $post_id, 'seek_property_year', $year );
}

add_action( 'wpuf_add_post_after_insert', 'wpuf_update_vehicle_year' );

is probably executed, but nothing will change anyway because the thing it does is to grab meta data (with get_post_meta) for seek_property_year and then update the same meta data with the same value:

1. Get value for $post_id for seek_property_year. Lets say the value is 2010
2. Put value for $post_id for seek_property_year. Put 2010 into seek_property_year
3. ...will result in no changes in database (nothing seems to happen)
