Thanks esmi! I have uploaded several pictures with url link. Is there a function that will link all uploaded images on my site to the file?

Thanks for the reply David! I’m not sure how “post types” is relevant to what I need. I’m working with custom fields in posts. In my functions.php file I’m registering multiple metaboxes using multiple arrays for each set of fields:

$meta_boxes[] = array(
	'id' => 'products',
	'title' => 'Products',
	'pages' => array('post', 'page', 'link'), // multiple post types, accept custom post types
	'context' => 'normal', // normal, advanced, side (optional)
	'priority' => 'high', // high, low (optional)
	'fields' => array(
		array(
                        'name' => 'something',
			'id' => $prefix . 'something',
			'desc' => '',
			'type' => 'checkbox'
		      ),
                 //more arrays for other fields
	         )
           );

//another metabox array

$meta_boxes[] = array(
	'id' => 'customers',
	'title' => 'Customers',
//etc...

I’m able to echo all fields in a post using:

$custom_field_keys = get_post_custom_keys();
foreach ( $custom_field_keys as $key => $value ) {
	$valuet = trim($value);

	if ( '_' == $valuet{0} )
		continue;
		echo $value . ":<br />";
		echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $value, true) . "<br/><br/>";
}

My goal is to get fields for specific metaboxes. For example get all field values of “products” or “customers”.

Thanks! It works. For the first $value would it be possible to get the field name instead of id?

php has so many ways..

Mate I’ve found a simpler method in an old theme I made.

<?php echo substr(get_the_excerpt(), 0,30); ?>

It does the same thing.

Brilliant! This works very nicely. Thanks jakep!

Thanks that a great tutorial!

The plugin stores a lot of data like IP addresses, I think it’s a good idea to delete that excess data if someone doesn’t need it anymore

yes that did it! thanks again!

nvm I forgot to put a semicolon.. but now when I try and publish a new post I get

Fatal error: Call to a member function insert() on a non-object

for

$wpdb->insert( 'post_votes', array( 'post_id' => $post_ID, 'up' => 0, 'down' => 0 ), array( '%s', '%d' ) )

Thank you for the reply!!! I’m finally on the right track ??

I tried this in my plugin file

function test_it($post_ID)  {
	$wpdb->insert( 'post_votes', array( 'post_id' => $post_ID, 'up' => 0, 'down' => 0 ), array( '%s', '%d' ) )
    return $post_ID;
}

add_action ( 'publish_post', 'test_it' );

and when I activate teh plugin I get

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_RETURN

on the function.. not sure if I’m doing this right

Add a color property for links to the class your posts are wrapped in.

For example

.post-block a{
color:blue;
}

Sorry to be so persistent.. In general my question is, how to add data to a table other than the default “wp_posts” when publishing a new post.

bump ??

vtxyzzy that’s brilliant your code worked perfectly without any issues! Thanks so much! ??
