pods_callback

It’s used by a project of mine which holds a shared Pods object. Passing a callback function to the parameter let’s you use anything that ultimately returns a Pods object itself. The default is still to use the normal pods() function.

When using a relationship field that’s related to another Pod, the output parameter allows you to return it as a “pod” (pod passes an array of Pods objects) or “find” (find uses a Pods object but fills it with records that can be run through using a fetch() while loop).

I don’t have an example of the callback right now but I hope to have something that can be tapped into in the near future. I’m using a form of it with the Pods Templating in the Templates component but it’s not abstracted for general use in the way I have it for my custom project.

Thanks for the swift response,e all am trying to find out is after using the normal pods() where or how do I pass the pods_callback in other to get all the fields of the relationship field…I really appreciate a sample…is it passed like the ‘where’ or am I missing something here.

How do I add the pods_callback in the sample below:

// Here's how to use find()
$params = array(
    'limit' => 3, 
    'page' => 2, 
    // Be sure to sanitize ANY strings going here
    'where'=>"category.name = 'My Category'"
);
// Run the find
$mypod = pods( 'mypod', $params );
// Loop through the records returned
while ( $mypod->fetch() ) {
    echo $mypod->display( 'name' ) . "\n";
}

Sorry, there was a typo in that changelog that I’ll fix in the next release. The support for pods_callback was added to Pods::field() and not Pods::find().
