Category variable available from within doAction () ?

Hi,

The second parameter passed to doAction() is a routine object which can return action arguments.

public function doAction( $sExitCode, $oRoutine ) {
    $_aRoutineMeta        = $oRoutine->getMeta();

Here $_aRoutineMeta contains the stored settings for the action. The category IDs should be stored in there with the key named auto_post_term_ids. If you dump the contents of $_aRoutineMeta, you should see something like the following.

    [auto_post_term_ids] => Array
        (
            [category] => Array
                (
                    [1] => 1
                )

        )
    ...

You see category and it is a taxonomy slug. You should be able to retrieve its category ID from the slug. And it is an array holding its terms and the array key-value represents a term id and the state of being enabled or not (1 is checked, 0 is not).

Hi,

First of all I appreciate the fast response, that’s fantastic.

Secondly: When I insert a print_r() – or any other type of echo – in that function I get no output on screen. When I call https://www.mysite.com/?task_scheduler_checking_actions=1 (which is how I use the plugin) all I ever see is my main page.

Anyway, with your info, I got it right in no time at all. For anyone else looking at this, the actual variable would be:
$_aRoutineArguments[ ‘auto_post_term_ids’ ][ ‘category’ ][1]

Thanks again!
