I'm building a CRM-Theme for Wordpress. So i post, edit and delete posts from the Frontend. I'm on a good way to resolve all problems, i think. But there is one failure. At the index there is a "edit" and "delete" button. If i click on "edit" I'm getting to a form. I can change the post_tags there. Changes will be saved, but the single words don't get separated. All words in the input-field are one huge tag - i can see it in a widget at the sidebar. But i use separators... If you have 2 minutes:
Here (in the index.php) i enable to delete a post:
if( 'POST' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] ) {
set_query_var( 'postid1', $_POST['postid'] ); /* set the "postid" value from the delete button of the post we choose to delete into "postid1" */
wp_delete_post( get_query_var( 'postid1'), true ); /* delete the post we choosed */
};
get_header(); ?>
In the loop of the index you can find the following snippet. First form is for edit, second form for delete:
<form class="edit" action="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>editieren-formular/" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="postid" value="<?php the_ID(); ?>" /> <?php /* get the post ID into "postid" and later pass it to "editieren-formular.php" */ ?>
<input type="submit" value="Edit" />
</form>
<form class="delete" action="" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="postid" value="<?php the_ID(); ?>" /> <?php /* get the post ID into "postid" and later delete the post */ ?>
<input type="submit" value="Delete" />
</form>
Everything fine. Now the editieren-formular.php, which is a page-template for a site, that is called "Editiere Formular". "editieren-formular" is the slug.
<?php
/*
Template Name: Editieren Formular
*/
if( 'POST' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] && !empty( $_POST['action'] ) && $_POST['action'] == "edit_post" && isset($_POST['postid'])) {
$post_to_edit = array();
$post_to_edit = get_post($_POST['postid']);
/* these are the fields that we are editing in the form below. */
$title = $_POST['title'];
$description = $_POST['description'];
$vorname = $_POST['vorname'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
/* this code will save the title and description into the post_to_edit array */
$post_to_edit->post_title = $title;
$post_to_edit->post_content = $description;
/* honestly i can't really remember why i added this code but it is a must */
$pid = wp_update_post($post_to_edit);
/* save taxonomies: post ID, form name, taxonomy name, if it appends(true) or rewrite(false) */
wp_set_post_terms($pid, array($_POST['cat']),'firmen',false);
wp_set_post_terms($pid, array($_POST['post_tags']),'post_tag',false);
//UPDATE CUSTOM FIELDS WITH THE NEW INFO
//CHANGE TO YOUR CUSTOM FIELDS AND ADD AS MANY AS YOU NEED
update_post_meta($pid, 'vorname', $vorname);
update_post_meta($pid, 'name', $name);
//REDIRECT USER WHERE EVER YOU WANT AFTER DONE EDITING
wp_redirect( 'http://crm-wordpress-theme.wellseo.de' );
...
} // END THE IF STATEMENT THAT STARTED THE WHOLE FORM
get_header();
$post_to_edit = get_post($_POST['postid']);
$terms = get_the_terms($post_to_edit->ID, 'firmen');
$tags = strip_tags( get_the_term_list( $post_to_edit->ID, 'post_tag', '', ', ', '' ) );
