I created a custom-post-type and multiple metaboxes which needs to be saved. I have a function that saves one metabox, but I can't figure out how to reuse this function to save all the metaboxes.
add_action ("add_meta_boxes", "add_dedications_jh");
function add_dedications_jh() {
add_meta_box('jh_dedicationDate', 'Enter Date', 'jh_dedicationDate', 'jh_dedications', 'side', 'default');
add_meta_box('jh_dedicationName', 'Enter Name', 'jh_dedicationName', 'jh_dedications', 'normal', 'default');
add_meta_box('jh_dedicationOccasion', 'Enter Occasion', 'jh_dedicationOccasion', 'jh_dedications', 'normal', 'default');
}
function jh_dedicationDate($object, $box) {
wp_nonce_field( basename( __FILE__ ), 'dedicationDate_nonce' );
?>
<input type="text" name="dedicationDate" value="<?php echo esc_attr( get_post_meta( $object->ID, 'dedicationDate', true) ); ?>" />
<?php
}
function jh_dedicationName ($object, $box) {
wp_nonce_field( basename( __FILE__ ), 'dedicationName_nonce' );
?>
<input type="text" size="60" name="dedicationName" value="<?php echo esc_attr( get_post_meta( $object->ID, 'dedicationName', true) ); ?>" />
<?php
}
function jh_dedicationOccasion ($object, $box) {
wp_nonce_field( basename( __FILE__ ), 'dedicationOccasion_nonce' );
?>
<input type="text" size="60" name="jh_dedicationOccasion" value="<?php echo esc_attr( get_post_meta( $object->ID, 'dedicationOccasion', true) ); ?>" />
<?php
}
add_action('save_post', 'jh_save_dedication', 10, 2);
function jh_save_dedication($post_id, $post) {
/* Verify the nonce before proceeding. */
if ( !isset( $_POST["dedicationDate_nonce"] ) || !wp_verify_nonce( $_POST["dedicationDate_nonce"], basename( __FILE__ ) ) )
return $post_id;
if ( !isset( $_POST["dedicationName_nonce"] ) || !wp_verify_nonce( $_POST["dedicationName_nonce"], basename( __FILE__ ) ) )
return $post_id;
if ( !isset( $_POST["dedicationOccasion_nonce"] ) || !wp_verify_nonce( $_POST["dedicationOccasion_nonce"], basename( __FILE__ ) ) )
return $post_id;
/* Get the post type object. */
$post_type = get_post_type_object( $post->post_type );
/* Check if the current user has permission to edit the post. */
if ( !current_user_can( $post_type->cap->edit_post, $post_id ) )
return $post_id;
/* Get the posted data and sanitize it for use as an HTML class. */
$new_meta_value = ( isset( $_POST['dedicationDate'] ) ? sanitize_html_class( $_POST['dedicationDate'] ) : '' );
/* Get the meta key. */
$meta_key = 'dedicationDate';
/* Get the meta value of the custom field key. */
$meta_value = get_post_meta( $post_id, $meta_key, true );
/* If a new meta value was added and there was no previous value, add it. */
if ( $new_meta_value && '' == $meta_value )
add_post_meta( $post_id, $meta_key, $new_meta_value, true );
/* If the new meta value does not match the old value, update it. */
elseif ( $new_meta_value && $new_meta_value != $meta_value )
update_post_meta( $post_id, $meta_key, $new_meta_value );
/* If there is no new meta value but an old value exists, delete it. */
elseif ( '' == $new_meta_value && $meta_value )
delete_post_meta( $post_id, $meta_key, $meta_value );
