Passing argument to custom action.

Hi,

I’ve uploaded a sample action module. (Download). It works as a plugin. I made it super simple so you can easily see what it is doing.

By the way, while I was writing it, I’ve noticed several issues on the current version 1.0.0. So I’ve uploaded a development version 1.0.1b01. So please update your Task Scheduler to this one. The above sample action module requires this version.

Let me know if you get any issue.

Thank you for fast response. But i just need to add arguments to the task.
this is my examle function:

function myfunction($parameter){
    //**Do something
}

I added action like that:

add_action('action_myfunction','myfunction', 10, 1);

Now I need to add custom action to the task. I added a arguments. But there is no argument passed., Pls show me how to add this properly.

Follow these steps.

1-a. Define your custom action module class by extending the TaskScheduler_Action_Base class. The action base class is defined by the Task Scheduler class. See an example.

1-b. In the doAction() method of the above class, define the behavior of your action what it does. The second parameter receives a routine object. The object has a public method named getMeta() which returns the associated arguments. See an example.

2. Use the task_scheduler_action_after_loading_plugin action hook. See an example.

3. In the callback method, register your action by instantiating the class you defined in Step 1. See an example.

4. Go to Dashboard -> Task Scheduler -> Add New Task. Proceed the wizard and when you get the Select Action screen, choose your action and set your custom arguments in the Argument (optional) field.

The set values will be stored in the argument element of the array returned by the getMeta() method of the routine object.

The sample action module plugin leaves a log when it the action is called. Check your wp-content directory.

The set values will be stored in the argument element of the array returned by the getMeta() method of the routine object

This line make everything clear. Now i can create my own action. Thank you.

You are very welcome.

Let me know if you create a useful action module which can be shared by others. I’m planning to add a Module page in the plugin setting page and list user made custom modules.
