I have 4 defualt fields (Name, slug, parent, description) in my taxonomy form. But i want to add new field, to be specific -> date. So i put this code to my functions.php of my theme.
function my_taxonomy_add_new_meta_field() {
// this will add the custom meta field to the add new term page
?>
<div class="form-field">
<label for="term_meta[custom_term_meta]"><?php _e( 'Example meta field', 'field' ); ?></label>
<input type="date" name="term_meta[custom_term_meta]" id="term_meta[custom_term_meta]" value="">
<p class="description"><?php _e( 'Enter a value for this field','field' ); ?></p>
</div>
<?php
}
add_action( 'wp-type-activity-types_add_form_fields', 'my_taxonomy_add_new_meta_field', 10, 2 );
function my_taxonomy_edit_meta_field($term) {
// put the term ID into a variable
$t_id = $term->term_id;
// retrieve the existing value(s) for this meta field. This returns an array
$term_meta = get_option( "taxonomy_$t_id" ); ?>
<tr class="form-field">
<th scope="row" valign="top"><label for="term_meta[custom_term_meta]"><?php _e( 'Example meta field', 'field' ); ?></label></th>
<td>
<input type="date" name="term_meta[custom_term_meta]" id="term_meta[custom_term_meta]" value="<?php echo esc_attr( $term_meta['custom_term_meta'] ) ? esc_attr( $term_meta['custom_term_meta'] ) : ''; ?>">
<p class="description"><?php _e( 'Enter a value for this field','field' ); ?></p>
</td>
</tr>
<?php
}
add_action( 'wp-type-activity-types_edit_form_fields', 'my_taxonomy_edit_meta_field', 10, 2 );
// Save extra taxonomy fields callback function.
function save_taxonomy_custom_meta( $term_id ) {
if ( isset( $_POST['term_meta'] ) ) {
$t_id = $term_id;
$term_meta = get_option( "taxonomy_$t_id" );
$cat_keys = array_keys( $_POST['term_meta'] );
foreach ( $cat_keys as $key ) {
if ( isset ( $_POST['term_meta'][$key] ) ) {
$term_meta[$key] = $_POST['term_meta'][$key];
}
}
// Save the option array.
update_option( "taxonomy_$t_id", $term_meta );
}
}
add_action( 'edited_wp-type-activity-types', 'save_taxonomy_custom_meta', 10, 2 );
add_action( 'create_wp-type-activity-types', 'save_taxonomy_custom_meta', 10, 2 );
Now i am stuck, because dont know how to echo my date.
I can only echo 4 defualt fields (Name, slug, parent, description).
$my_desc = get_term_field( 'description', $value->term_id);
echo $my_desc;
So why I cant echo my custom field -> date, like that:
$my_date = get_term_field( 'term_meta[custom_term_meta]', $value->term_id);
echo $my_date;
