welshy1984hi, i am writing my first plugin which will add a meta box to the post page, but i am having an issue with saving the data. The meta box appears fine, but when i save the post, the data is not stored. I have added my code below... if anyone can see where i am going wrong and can help it would be much appreciated.
function widget_featuredPost_createMetabox() {
add_meta_box( 'feature-post-meta-box', __('Featured Post options'), 'widget_featuredPost_metabox', 'post', 'normal', 'high' );
}
function widget_featuredPost_metabox() {
global $post;
?>
<p>
<label for="fp-image">Featured Image (URL to image):</label><br />
<input type="text" name="fp-image" id="fp-image" value="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "fp-image", true) ?>" size="30" tabindex="30" style="width: 99%;" />
<input type="hidden" name="fp-image_noncename" id="fp-image_noncename" value="<?php echo wp_create_nonce( plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) ); ?>" />
</p>
<?php
}
function widget_featuredPost_saveMetabox( $post_id ) {
global $post;
if ( !wp_verify_nonce( 'fp-image_noncename', plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) ) ){
return $post_id;
}
if ( 'page' == $_POST['post_type'] && !current_user_can( 'edit_page', $post_id ) ){
return $post_id;
}elseif( 'post' == $_POST['post_type'] && !current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post_id ) ){
return $post_id;
}
$data = stripslashes( $_POST['fp-image'] );
if ( get_post_meta( $post_id, 'fp-image' ) == '' ){
add_post_meta( $post_id, 'fp-image', $data, true );
}elseif ( $data != get_post_meta( $post_id, 'fp-image', true ) ){
update_post_meta( $post_id, 'fp-image', $data );
}elseif ( $data == '' ){
delete_post_meta( $post_id, 'fp-image', get_post_meta( $post_id, 'fp-image', true ) );
}
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'widget_featuredPost_createMetabox' );
add_action( 'save_post', 'widget_featuredPost_saveMetabox' );
?>
