display custom taxonomy column on custom post add new page
-
Would someone be able to tell me where I am going wrong. I am trying to get the custom category ‘Cat Breed’ to display in the Add New column of a custom post I created called ‘Kittens’.
I can get the new column heading to display but the actual categories wont display when assigned to a post. I have tried a few different ways of doing this and each time get the same result – column heading displays fine but actual category types such as Long Hair, Short Hair etc that I apply to a post wont show. NOTE: Just test names at the moment till I figure out the code!
Here is the code I have used for just this part:
add_filter("manage_edit-kittens_columns", "add_new_kitten_columns"); add_action("manage_kitten_custom_column", "kitten_custom_columns"); function add_new_kitten_columns($defaults) { $defaults['cat_breed_cats'] = __('Cat Breed'); return $defaults; } function kitten_custom_columns( $column_name, $post_id ) { if( $column_name == 'cat_breed_cats' ) { $_taxonomy = 'cat-breed'; $terms = get_the_terms( $post_id, $_taxonomy ); if ( !empty( $terms ) ) { $out = array(); foreach ( $terms as $c ) $out[] = "<a href='edit-tags.php?action=edit&taxonomy=$_taxonomy&post_type=kittens&tag_ID={$c->term_id}'> " . esc_html(sanitize_term_field('name', $c->name, $c->term_id, 'category', 'display')) . "</a>"; echo join( ', ', $out ); } else { _e('Uncategorized'); } } }
And here is the complete code:
// kitten post type add_action('init', 'post_type_kittens'); function post_type_kittens() { register_post_type('kittens', array( 'description' => __('Create a kitten.'), 'label' => __('Kittens'), 'supports' => array ('title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'custom-fields'), 'register_meta_box_cb' => 'add_kittens_metaboxes', 'public' => true, 'show_ui' => true)); register_taxonomy_for_object_type('cat_breed', 'kittens'); register_taxonomy_for_object_type('litter_types', 'kittens'); } // Custom Taxonomy Code add_action( 'init', 'create_kittens_tax', 0 ); function create_kittens_tax() { register_taxonomy( 'cat_breed', 'post', array( 'hierarchical' => true, 'label' => 'Cat Breed', 'query_var' => true, 'rewrite' => true ) ); register_taxonomy( 'litter_types', 'post', array( 'hierarchical' => true, 'label' => 'Litter Types', 'query_var' => true, 'rewrite' => true ) ); } // Add kitten meta boxes $prefix = 'dbt_'; $meta_box = array( 'id' => 'my-meta-box', 'title' => 'Custom meta box', 'page' => 'kittens', 'context' => 'normal', 'priority' => 'high', 'fields' => array( array( 'name' => 'Text box', 'desc' => 'Enter something here', 'id' => $prefix . 'text', 'type' => 'text', 'std' => 'Default value 1' ), array( 'name' => 'Textarea', 'desc' => 'Enter big text here', 'id' => $prefix . 'textarea', 'type' => 'textarea', 'std' => 'Default value 2' ), array( 'name' => 'Select box', 'id' => $prefix . 'select', 'type' => 'select', 'options' => array('Option 1', 'Option 2', 'Option 3') ), array( 'name' => 'Radio', 'id' => $prefix .

'checkbox', 'type' => 'checkbox' ) ) ); add_action('admin_menu', 'mytheme_add_box'); // Add meta box function mytheme_add_box() { global $meta_box; add_meta_box($meta_box['id'], $meta_box['title'], 'mytheme_show_box', $meta_box['page'], $meta_box['context'], $meta_box['priority']); } // Callback function to show fields in meta box function mytheme_show_box() { global $meta_box, $post; // Use nonce for verification echo '<input type="hidden" name="mytheme_meta_box_nonce" value="', wp_create_nonce(basename(__FILE__)), '" />'; echo '<table class="form-table">'; foreach ($meta_box['fields'] as $field) { // get current post meta data $meta = get_post_meta($post->ID, $field['id'], true); echo '<tr>', '<th style="width:20%"><label for="', $field['id'], '">', $field['name'], '</label></th>', '<td>'; switch ($field['type']) { case 'text': echo '<input type="text" name="', $field['id'], '" id="', $field['id'], '" value="', $meta ? $meta : $field['std'], '" size="30" style="width:97%" />', '<br />', $field['desc']; break; case 'textarea': echo '<textarea name="', $field['id'], '" id="', $field['id'], '" cols="60" rows="4" style="width:97%">', $meta ? $meta : $field['std'], '</textarea>', '<br />', $field['desc']; break; case 'select': echo '<select name="', $field['id'], '" id="', $field['id'], '">'; foreach ($field['options'] as $option) { echo '<option', $meta == $option ?

' checked="checked"' : '', ' />', $option['name']; } break; case 'checkbox': echo '<input type="checkbox" name="', $field['id'], '" id="', $field['id'], '"', $meta ? ' checked="checked"' : '', ' />'; break; } echo '<td>', '</tr>'; } echo '</table>'; } add_action('save_post', 'mytheme_save_data'); // Save data from meta box function mytheme_save_data($post_id) { global $meta_box; // verify nonce if (!wp_verify_nonce($_POST['mytheme_meta_box_nonce'], basename(__FILE__))) { return $post_id; } // check autosave if (defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE) { return $post_id; } // check permissions if ('page' == $_POST['post_type']) { if (!current_user_can('edit_page', $post_id)) { return $post_id; } } elseif (!current_user_can('edit_post', $post_id)) { return $post_id; } foreach ($meta_box['fields'] as $field) { $old = get_post_meta($post_id, $field['id'], true); $new = $_POST[$field['id']]; if ($new && $new != $old) { update_post_meta($post_id, $field['id'], $new); } elseif ('' == $new && $old) { delete_post_meta($post_id, $field['id'], $old); } } } add_filter("manage_edit-kittens_columns", "add_new_kitten_columns"); add_action("manage_kitten_custom_column", "kitten_custom_columns"); function add_new_kitten_columns($defaults) { $defaults['cat_breed_cats'] = __('Cat Breed'); return $defaults; } function kitten_custom_columns( $column_name, $post_id ) { if( $column_name == 'cat_breed_cats' ) { $_taxonomy = 'cat-breed'; $terms = get_the_terms( $post_id, $_taxonomy ); if ( !empty( $terms ) ) { $out = array(); foreach ( $terms as $c ) $out[] = "<a href='edit-tags.php?action=edit&taxonomy=$_taxonomy&post_type=kittens&tag_ID={$c->term_id}'> " . esc_html(sanitize_term_field('name', $c->name, $c->term_id, 'category', 'display')) . "</a>"; echo join( ', ', $out ); } else { _e('Uncategorized'); } } }
Thanks so much – have spent the past two days trying to figure this out and am at a total loss as to where to look next.
