Delay autoArticle

  • Hello, this plugin is awesome but I need some help about this plugin. I need to add extra text format, so I can show other information to the facebook post.

    For an example, i got something to sale and i want to show the price.

    What I have done:

    1) Added %PRICE% to the core file.

    What is the problem:

    I am getting the value from the meta（database）. Therefore, the post needs to save first (store all fields to meta). When I clicked the ‘Publish’, the autoArticle runs before the post is saved. So the meta for price is empty and posted to facebook. How can I fix this?

    My idea:

    1) Run autoArticle after post is saved.

    Suggestion for this plugin:

    1) Allow us to add custom text format, so we can decide which field from the post can be posted together.

    You could’ve just check the documentation. ??

    You can add custom fields to the “Message format” since version 2.7.0

    https://www.nextscripts.com/snap-features/message-formatting-tags/

    %CF-CustomFieldName% – Inserts the contents of the custom field with the specified name. (example: if your price is stored in the custom field “PRDPRICE” you will need to use %CF-PRDPRICE% tag)

    I have a custom field name called as ‘key’ . Inside ‘key’, I have an array stored an array.

    Here are the codes:

    $meta_boxes = array(

"price" => array(
	  "name" => "price",
  	  "title" => $options['pricetext'],
	  "description" => "Enter the price of the property (no commas or currency).",
	  "type" => "range",
	  "class" => "range",
	  "rows" => "",
      "width" => "",
	  "hide_in_search" => $options['pricehide'],
	  "options" => ""
		),
 // other type
);

    When I want to show these fields in the post:

    $data = get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true);  

      $output .= '<input type="text" name="' . $meta_box['name'] . '" value="' . (isset($data[$meta_box['name']]) ? $data[$meta_box['name']] : '') . '" style="margin-top:3px;width:' . $meta_box['width'] . ';" />';     

echo $output;
