Some feature requests

Really appreciate all the positive feedback about the plugin. Thank you.

Okay, so for now, you can start to achieve your goals with the tube_vc_filter_import_term filter.

Here’s an example, NOT tested but should work or come close! Drop it in your child themes functions.php file or a simple plugin…

add_filter( 'tube_vc_filter_import_term', 'mytube_custom_import_terms' );

function mytube_custom_import_terms( $import_term_ids, $source_site, $creator_name ){
 
  // custom terms per channel
  $custom_terms = array(
    'youtube-h3h3productions' => array( 420 ),
    'vimeo-chicagobears' => array( 9, 34, 72, 95 )
  );
  
  // create a slug from source site and creator name
  $key = $source_site.'-'.sanitize_title($creator_name);

  // if no custom terms, send back original value
  if ( ! array_key_exists( $key, $term_map ) ):
    return $import_term_ids;
  endif;

  // return the custom terms for this channel
  return $custom_terms[ $key ];

}

Have you had a chance to test this yet?

Please mark as resolved if so.

Have you updated the code to reflect…

a) The channels you’re importing from
b) The term IDs for your site

If not, it’s not going to work. If so, please post your code snippet here.

Please replace 420 with the term ID(s) from your site as that was just an example Term ID.

You can find the ID by viewing the terms on the backend.

For example, here’s a typical looking link for the “uncategorized” category which is almost always term ID 1…

https://www.gamingpc.tube/wp-admin/term.php?taxonomy=category&tag_ID=1

If you need multiple terms, separate with a comma…

'vimeo-chicagobears' => array( 9, 34, 72, 95 )

Use the channel name (lowercase w dashes) instead of the channel ID…

$custom_terms = array(
  'youtube-t-series' => array(13, 9, 10),
  'youtube-mazaaq-raat-official' => array(1586, 38, 61, 37)
);

Please try this which includes two changes…

– added priority and arg count to add_filter
– Fixed bunk variable name in array_key_exists

Tested and working in dev environment so hoping this resolves it.

add_filter( 'tube_vc_filter_import_term', 'mytube_custom_import_terms', 10, 3 );

function mytube_custom_import_terms( $import_term_ids, $source_site, $creator_name ){

// custom terms per channel
$custom_terms = array(
  'youtube-t-series' => array(13, 9, 10),
  'youtube-mazaaq-raat-official' => array(1586, 38, 61, 37)
);

// create a slug from source site and creator name
$key = $source_site.'-'.sanitize_title($creator_name);

// if no custom terms, send back original value
if ( ! array_key_exists( $key, $custom_terms ) ):
  return $import_term_ids;
endif;

// return the custom terms for this channel
return $custom_terms[ $key ];
