Problem: When Toolset plugins are active I see in the error logs several PHP deprecation notices related to required parameters following optional parameters, similar to this:
Deprecated: Required parameter $in follows optional parameter $method in \wp-content\plugins\wp-views\embedded\inc\wpv-query-debug.class.php on line 417
Solution:
Toolset is not yet compatible with PHP 8.x, so for best results we recommend you use a server that runs PHP 7.x instead, or ask your hosting company to help install the preferred lower version.
Problem:
The user would like to use a background image from a custom field and fallback to a different image when no images are available.
Solution:
This can be done using a conditional block and checking if the image exists. If it does, then use a container that has the background set that image field. Otherwise, use another container that has the background image set to a specific image in the Media library.
Problem: When I save repeating field values with update_post_meta, all the repeating fields get set to the value of the last original repeating field in the database. I'm using the following code:
$fields = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-field-repeating');
....
some changes to $fields
...
foreach ($fields as $single_value ) {
update_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-field-repeating', $single_value);
Solution: Be sure to provide the 4th parameter to the update_post_meta function to update a single instance of a repeating field, otherwise all instances will be set to the same value. Example:
$prev_value = (previous value of this instance);
update_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-field-repeating', $single_value, $prev_value);
Another option would be to delete all values of this repeating field first, then insert all the new values.
Problem:
I want to upload multiple files (one repeating-field) via CRED-form.
After successfull uploads, i want to move and rename the files to a different file-directory (with a little bit php-code via the cred_submit_complete hook). Don´t want to use hooks like "wp_handle_upload_prefilter", "upload_dir", or "cred_form_ajax_upload_validate". After that i have to update the custom repeating field with the new renamed file-paths and file-names.
Unfortunatelly the upload-function by toolset will add the files to the media library automatically and i don´t want that.
So my two questions are
1. Is the hook the right place for renaming, moving and updating uploaded files?
2. How do i prefent to attach files to the media library?
Solution:
Q1) Is the hook the right place for renaming, moving and updating uploaded files?
Yes, I think it is the right place. And it is possible to use action hook "cred_submit_complete" to achieve what you want, for example when user submit the CRED form successfully, use action hook "cred_submit_complete" to trigger a custom PHP function, in this PHP function, get the file/image field value: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post_meta/
Then rename the file name to what you want: http://php.net/manual/en/function.rename.php
