[Gelöst] Custom Hook with CPT

[Author]

Artikel

[geoffD]

Hello!

I have created a custom hook in the functions.php file to return a permalink for the current logged in users 1st created CPT 'User Will'

$ushub = array('post_type' => 'user-will',
              'fields' => 'ids',
            'meta_query' => array(
            array(
                'key' => 'wpcf-user-id',
                'value' => $current_user->ID
             ),
        ),
     );
  
     $user_wills= get_posts($ushub);
	 $user_will_url=get_permalink($user_wills[0]);

This works perfectly in all of my situations including creating a custom menu link as below:

function custom_add_userhub_link( $items, $args ) {
	global $user_will_url;
    if ($args->theme_location == 'primary'){
        if (is_user_logged_in()) {
            $items .= '<li><a href="' . $user_will_url . '">User Hub</a></li>';
        } else {
            $items .= '<li><a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>">Log In</a></li>';
}
    }

    return $items;
}

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'custom_add_userhub_link', 10, 2 );

And many other similar functions....

MY PROBLEM.....
I have another CPT called 'Partner Email' and when a user creates a 'Partner Email', the $user_will_url changes from:
hidden link
to:
hidden link

I just can't get to the bottom of this problem..please can you help...

Very best regards

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

As you are not sure yet, I'm not sure where the URL rewrite take place when you create Partner Email.

- Are you using any URL rewrite plugin?
- Are you using any custom rewrite rules with your htaccess file or any plugin?
- Have you set any custom rewrite URL to your post types?
- Is this only happen when you create a partner email new entry?

In order to rule out any possible compatibility issue:
Could you please try to resolve your issue by deactivating all third-party plugins as well as the default theme to check for any possible conflicts with any of the plugins or themes?

Do you see any difference?

Hello Minesh..

Thank you as always for your support ..it's always very much appreciated..

In relation to your questions:
- Are you using any URL rewrite plugin?
No
- Are you using any custom rewrite rules with your htaccess file or any plugin?
No
- Have you set any custom rewrite URL to your post types?
No but as mentioned above I use the below hook to return the users 1st 'user-will' CPT

$ushub = array('post_type' => 'user-will',
              'fields' => 'ids',
            'meta_query' => array(
            array(
                'key' => 'wpcf-user-id',
                'value' => $current_user->ID
             ),
        ),
     );
  
     $user_wills= get_posts($ushub);
	 $user_will_url=get_permalink($user_wills[0]);

- Is this only happen when you create a partner email new entry?
Yes when I create every other CPT it's fine but when I go to the page which has a cred form to create a new CPT 'partner-email' this is when it happens...

I have tried disabling theme and plugins but the problem persists ..

Many thanks

with what hook you wrapped the code you shared in your previous post?

$ushub = array('post_type' => 'user-will',
              'fields' => 'ids',
            'meta_query' => array(
            array(
                'key' => 'wpcf-user-id',
                'value' => $current_user->ID
             ),
        ),
     );
   
     $user_wills= get_posts($ushub);
     $user_will_url=get_permalink($user_wills[0]);

- Is this only happen when you create a partner email new entry?
Yes when I create every other CPT it's fine but when I go to the page which has a cred form to create a new CPT 'partner-email' this is when it happens...
===>
Where did you add the toolset form? Can you please share the link where form is added?

Can I have access details so I can check this further?

As the code resides in the functions.php file I need FTP access details as well so that I can modify it and adjust it.

Can you please send me FTP access details as well.

Thank you for sharing FTP access details. FTP access details are working but I do not see any files/folders once I log in to FTP. Maybe permissions are missing. Can you please grant permissions so that I can access the files using FTP.

Hi Minesh

Apologies..I have set it up correctly now to the right path...If you could try again with the same details please ..

Best regards

Actually, you have used the code you shared wrongly.

$ushub = array('post_type' => 'user-will',
              'fields' => 'ids',
            'meta_query' => array(
            array(
                'key' => 'wpcf-user-id',
                'value' => $current_user->ID
             ),
        ),
     );
   
     $user_wills= get_posts($ushub);
     $user_will_url=get_permalink($user_wills[0]);

I've wrapped the above code with the function as given under:

/*  Return User Will URL */
function get_current_will_url(){
global $current_user;

$ushub = array('post_type' => 'user-will',
              'fields' => 'ids',
            'meta_query' => array(
            array(
                'key' => 'wpcf-user-id',
                'value' => $current_user->ID
             ),
        ),
     );
  
     $user_wills= get_posts($ushub);
	 $user_will_url=get_permalink($user_wills[0]);
	 return $user_will_url;
}

Now, whereever you are trying to use the $user_will_url, you should change that to: get_current_will_url();

so, I've changed the wp_nav_menu_items hook as given under:

/* Add User Hub Menu Item */
function custom_add_userhub_link( $items, $args ) {
	global $user_will_url;
    if ($args->theme_location == 'primary'){
        if (is_user_logged_in()) {
			 
          //  $items .= '<li><a href="' . $user_will_url . '">User Hub</a></li>';
			  $items .= '<li><a href="' . get_current_will_url() . '">User Hub</a></li>';
        } else {
            $items .= '<li><a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>">Log In</a></li>';
}
    }

    return $items;
}

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'custom_add_userhub_link', 10, 2 );

Now, when I submit the new entry using the form: hidden link

I see the URL stays at: hidden link

Can you please confirm it works at your end as well.

[geoffD]

Minesh you are a wizard!...Thank you as always... I have a couple of other hooks that use the use the $user_will_url e.g.

/* Redirect to User Hub if About Yourself section complete */
add_filter('cred_success_redirect', 'section_status_complete_2',10,3);
function section_status_complete_2($url, $post_id, $form_data){	
global $user_will_url;	
    if ($form_data['id']==3117)
        return $user_will_url;
    return $url;
   }
/* END - Redirect to User Hub if About Yourself section complete */

Would I just replace $user_will_url with get_current_will_url(); ?

Also I have set up a short code for use in the pages where I want the user to redirect to their user-hub...Here is the code...do I replace the same as above?

/* Create Shortcode for User Hub Link */
add_shortcode( 'uhlink', 'ul_func' );
function ul_func() {
	global $user_will_url;
    return  $user_will_url;
}
/* /Create Shortcode for User Hub Link */

I will do some testing also and let you know of any other issues..

Thanks again

Best regards

Thank you, your functions.php file was really heavy, full of code but I'm glad that the solution I shared helps you to resolve your issue.

Yes - it should be changed to the function I shared.

/* Redirect to User Hub if About Yourself section complete */
add_filter('cred_success_redirect', 'section_status_complete_2',10,3);
function section_status_complete_2($url, $post_id, $form_data){ 
global $user_will_url;  
    if ($form_data['id']==3117)
        return get_current_will_url();
    return $url;
   }
/* END - Redirect to User Hub if About Yourself section complete */

/* Create Shortcode for User Hub Link */
add_shortcode( 'uhlink', 'ul_func' );
function ul_func() {
    global $user_will_url;
    return   get_current_will_url();
}
/* /Create Shortcode for User Hub Link */

Have a good day 🙂
