Pods Template function callback

    Hi,
    so far I have had something like this in my custom Pods Template:

    {@ID,kka_get_pods}

    …which worked just fine. “kka_get_pods” is the function in my theme’s “functions.php” and returns a chunk of HTML.

    However, I had to move “kka_get_pods” function to the plugin due to the fact that certain things belong to plugin territory. Anyhow…

    The question is: how do I call/access my function that is now part of the plugin?

    I’ve tried:

    {@ID,My_Plugin::kka_get_pods}

    …but it doesn’t seem to work.

    My function is public and declared inside the class. Somewhat standard thing.

    class My_Plugin {

	private static $instance;
	
	public static function get_instance() {
		
		if( ! self::$instance ) {
			
			self::$instance = new self();
			self::$instance->init();
			
		}
		
		return self::$instance;
		
	}
	
	public function init() {

		// nothing to init yet
		
	}

	public function kka_get_pods() {
		
		// code

	}

}

    Hello @dameerdj ,

    My_Plugin::kka_get_pods is a static call so you need to declare your function as static: public static function kka_get_pods().
    I’m actually uncertain whether this will work at all but since static calls work relatively similar to regular functions I think it might!

    Forgot to mention that I already tried to declare it as a static function and it didn’t work as well.

    Is there any workaround to the problem? I mean, you are Pods developer, there must be something.

    Thanks for any hint in advance!

    I found a bottleneck in the code. It validates through function_exists and in your case it’s not a function.

    A workaround for now is to create a function within your plugin that calls the class method.

    I’ve made a PR on GitHub to discuss this topic with a possible solution.

    I’ll close this topic here in favor of GitHub. Thanks for your report!
