I can't get custom post types to display meta post information
-
Hi,
I am creating my first plugion to take advantage of custom post types and I think it’s almost there, i just can’t get it to display the meta information “kvl_gallery_image_a” or “kvl_gallery_image_b”
What am I doing wrong, can anyone help?
heres the function file:
function kvlgallery_post_types_register() { register_post_type( 'kvlgallery', array( 'labels' => array( 'name' => __( 'Gallerys' ), 'singular_name' => __( 'Gallery' ), 'add_new' => __( 'Add New Gallery' ), 'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Gallery' ), 'edit' => __( 'Edit' ), 'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Gallery' ), 'new_item' => __( 'New Gallery' ), 'view' => __( 'View Gallery' ), 'view_item' => __( 'View Gallery' ), 'search_items' => __( 'Search Gallerys' ), 'not_found' => __( 'No Gallerys' ), 'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'No Gallerys in the Trash' ), ), 'public' => true, 'hierarchical' => false, 'exclude_from_search' => false, 'menu_position' => 30, 'menu_icon' => plugins_url( 'icons/user_comment.png' , __FILE__ ), 'query_var' => true, 'can_export' => true, 'has_archive' => 'Gallerys', 'description' => "A galley page contains a selection of photos taken by Keith Van Loen grouped by theme or shoot.", 'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'Gallery'), 'supports' => array( 'title', 'excerpt', 'editor', 'thumbnail' ), ) ); } add_action( 'init', 'kvlgallery_post_types_register' ); function kvlgallery_fields () { global $post; $custom = get_post_custom($post->ID); $kvlgallery_image_a = $custom["kvlgallery_image_a"][0]; $kvlgallery_image_b = $custom["kvlgallery_image_b"][0]; ?> <p> <label>Image 1</label><br /> <input size="45" name="kvlgallery_image_a" value="<?php echo $kvlgallery_image_a; ?>" /> </p> <p> <label>Image 2</label><br /> <input size="45" name="kvlgallery_image_b" value="<?php echo $kvlgallery_image_b; ?>" /> </p> <?php } function add_kvlgallery_box(){ add_meta_box( "kvlgallery_info", "Gallery Images", "kvlgallery_fields", "kvlgallery" ); } function save_kvlgallery_attributes(){ global $post; update_post_meta($post->ID, "kvlgallery_image_a", $_POST["kvlgallery_image_a"]); update_post_meta($post->ID, "kvlgallery_image_b", $_POST["kvlgallery_image_b"]); } add_action( 'admin_init', 'add_kvlgallery_box' ); add_action( 'save_post', 'save_kvlgallery_attributes' ); add_action( 'publish_post', 'save_kvlgallery_attributes' ); function create_kvlgallery_taxonomy() { $genrelabels = array( 'name' => 'genre', 'singular_name' => 'genre', 'search_items' => 'Search genres', 'popular_items' => 'Popular genres', 'all_items' => 'All genres', 'parent_item' => null, 'parent_item_colon' => null, 'edit_item' => 'Edit genre', 'update_item' => 'Update genre', 'add_new_item' => 'Add new genre', 'new_item_name' => 'New genre name', 'separate_items_with_commas' => 'Separate genres with commas', 'add_or_remove_items' => 'Add or remove genres', 'choose_from_most_used' => 'Choose from common genres', 'menu_name' => 'Gallery Genres', ); register_taxonomy( 'kvlgallery_genre', 'kvlgallery', array( 'hierarchical' => false, 'labels' => $genrelabels, 'query_var' => true, 'update_count_callback' => '_update_post_term_count', 'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'genres' ) ) ); } add_action('init', 'create_kvlgallery_taxonomy', 0); ?>
and here’s the prototype single.php page
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>> <h1>KVL Gallery Page Template</h1> <?php the_title(); ?> <?php the_content(); ?> <p><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'kvl_gallery_image_a', true) ?></p> <p><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'kvl_gallery_image_b', true); ?></p> </article> <?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
Hope someone can help show me where I am going wrong!
Thanks
