Hi,
I am trying to sort posts by a custom field, using the plugin Magic Fields. The problem? When I use the option of a checkbox, I can not get my posts to sort. It works fine if its a drop down, or another form of single info using this method:
<?php $making_args = array(
'cat' => 22,
'meta_key' => 'lesson-type', //this is the magic field variable
'meta_value' => 'Self Study', //this is the value it looks for
'posts_per_page' => 10,
'offset' => 0,
);?>
But does not work if the input is a check box because apparently the plugin writes an array to the field.
From the google group (what is in the database):
post_meta save a:2:{i:0;s:3:"dos";i:1;s:6:"cuatro";}
I am looking for suggestions on how to parse that array. I'm asking both here and in the google group.
Thanks!
Nadine
