How to use ‘Sync associated taxonomy with this relationship’?

Hi, I was wondering about this too. No matter what value I put there, the sync does not work. Did you find a solution?

Hi,

yes, but I went the custom code way and did not use the pods option field for that because I couldn’t find a way to get it working by using it.

Here’s the code I’ve used:

add_action('save_post', 'sync_relationship_field_with_taxonomy', 10, 3);

function sync_relationship_field_with_taxonomy($post_id) {

if (get_post_type($post_id) != 'your_post_type_name') {

return;

}

if (defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE) return;

if (wp_is_post_revision($post_id)) return;

$relationship_field = get_post_meta($post_id, 'your_pods_custom_field', true);

if (!empty($relationship_field)) {

// Sync the term to the taxonomy
$result = wp_set_post_terms($post_id, array($relationship_field), 'your_custom_taxonomy');

} else {

// Clear the taxonomy terms if no term is selected
$result = wp_set_post_terms($post_id, array(), 'your_custom_taxonomy')

}

}

In my case I am using a custom field with radio buttons because I want the user to be able to choose only one option. So only one term of the custom taxonomy should be set.
This code works for my case. But I’m not sure if this is the best way to do that or if there are some flaws in that. I’m still testing things out.

Thanks for your reply and sharing your code! Guess this will do the job ?? However, I’d be keen to find out how to get the original feature working. Anyone of the PODS team who can help?

Looking into this for the release I’m planning this week.

Thanks Scott –?that’s awesome! Looking forward to the fix!

A pending pull request for the Taxonomy Sync feature can be found at https://github.com/pods-framework/pods/pull/7336

The fix went out for this this past week.
