[Plugin: Category Meta plugin] Does Category Meta extend to other taxonomies?

Hello,

Yes the function defined in the plugin can be used with any taxonomy.

<?php
if (function_exists('get_terms_meta'))
{
    $metaValue = get_terms_meta($category_id, $meta_key);
}
?>

<?php
if (function_exists('get_all_terms_meta'))
{
    $metaList = get_all_terms_meta($category_id);
}
?>

But the plugin administration part allow to defined meta for categories only.
The plugin administration also adds fields into the category edition page.

So in order to use this plugins with other taxonomies, you have to create your own administration pages for your taxonomy.

eric any news on an updated version of your much loved category meta plugin.

Hello,

Plugin version 1.2.0 is now creating meta for all taxonomies:
– Category
– Tag
– and all custom taxonomies.

Why could it be, Input fields for the ones I created are not showing up on the edit screen.

Any Idea?

Hello,

In order to display the configured fields, the plugins use the folowing Hooks:

<taxonomyName>_edit_form
<taxonomyName>_add_form_fields

Does your taxonomy edit page call those hooks ?

The standard category / tag edit page does, if you have a custom edit page you need to call those hooks.

Thanks for your help. But i don’t understand where to call those hooks.

I added a custom type, registered a new taxonomy, and configured the plugin to add 3 new fields to my new taxonomy.

How do I call those hooks from my custom taxonomy edit page?

(note, I have not modified the edit taxonomy page, I just rgistered the taxonomy and trying to edit it from the default edit screent)

Thanks!

Please help me,

I tested it with a normal category and it worked fine, but I just can’t get it working with a custom taxonomy.

What do you have to do so that input fields show in a custom taxonomy edit screen?

In case it helps the url looks something like this when editing:

/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?action=edit&taxonomy=Colombia&post_type=video&tag_ID=37

I solved it adding the following to my functions.php

add_action ( 'Colombia_add_form_fields', 'wptm_add_meta_textinput');
add_action ( 'Colombia_edit_form', 'wptm_add_meta_textinput');

Colombia is the name of my custom taxonomy, please tell me if this is ideal.
