wptelegram_add_custom_fields filter

How am I expected to use the filter wptelegram_add_custom_fields?

wptelegram_add_custom_fields expects a string in return and should not be urlencoded. Since it forced the users to put all the custom fields together at one place, version 1.1 came up with the fix.

Ideally, I would put {customTag1} and {customTagWhatever} in my template and expect to handle them with a filter.

Since version 1.1, direct support for custom fields was added, so you can add as many custom fields as you want in the template, like this {\[\[customTag1]]} {\[\[customTagWhatever]]} (remove all \s) , but cannot filter them as yet. I will definitely provide a filter for individual fields in future releases.

is the duplicate {custom_fields} at the end of the array a typo? (which actually seems to result in no error)

There is no duplicate!

Thanks Manzoor,
I realized that the wptelegram_add_custom_fields is not intended for what I need.

I played a little with filters, ended up in something like this:
added in class-wptelegram-post-handler.php, after line 446:

$filterParam = array($wp_tags, $wp_subs);
$filterOutput = apply_filters( 'wptelegram_user_defined_tags_handler', $filterParam, $post);
$wp_tags = $filterOutput[0];
$wp_subs = $filterOutput[1];

sample usage (I put it in my theme functions.php):

add_filter( 'wptelegram_user_defined_tags_handler', 'telegram_user_defined_tags_handler', 10, 2);

/*
input: array containings 2 arrays: 
	values[0] => array of tags
	values[1] => array of replacement for each tag found in template
*/
function telegram_user_defined_tags_handler(array $values, WP_Post $post){
	$values[0][] = '{url_encoded}';
	$values[1][] =  urlencode(get_permalink($post->ID));
	
	$values[0][] = '{uppercase_title}';
	$values[1][] = strtoupper($post->post_title);
	return $values;
}

use it as you want if you think it can be useful for implementing the filters you were talking about.
Maybe It would be nice to have a similar filter called in get_macros() functions (class-wptelegram-admin-settings.php)

Thanks for your great plugin, and please keep me informed if you implement the above filters

Thank you for your suggestions and the code sample. I have a different idea to implement filters for custom fields. I’ll give this a thought as well. ??

Good suggestion, thanks again ??

Yes, I’ll inform you once I implement it. Though I’m working on some other cool stuff that you would love ??

Hi @jumpy2015,
Just to inform you…
Please update the plugin and enjoy the filters you asked for and many more ??

• wptelegram_settings_macros in get_macros()
