Can you please confirm the following filter still works for GDV2 ?

add_filter(‘geodir_custom_fields_custom’,’geodir_custom_field_CUSTOMNAME’,10,2);

Thanks.

Okay.
I can create the following.
function custom_myobject($custom_fields,$post_type){
$custom_fields[‘myobject’] = array(
‘field_type’ => ‘text’,
‘class’ => ‘gd-myobject’,
‘icon’ => ‘fa fa-cog’,
‘name’ => __(‘myobject’, ‘geodirectory’),
‘description’ => __(‘Adds a input for myobject username.’, ‘geodirectory’),
‘defaults’ => array(
‘data_type’ => ‘VARCHAR’,
‘admin_title’ => ‘myobject’,
‘site_title’ => ‘myobject’,
‘admin_desc’ => ‘Enter myobject username’,
‘htmlvar_name’ => ‘myobjectusername’,
‘is_active’ => true,
‘for_admin_use’ => false,
‘default_value’ => ”,
‘show_in’ => ‘[detail]’,
‘is_required’ => false,
‘validation_pattern’ => ‘{1,3}’,
‘validation_msg’ => ‘Please enter number only.’,
‘required_msg’ => ”,
‘field_icon’ => ‘fa fa-myobject’,
‘css_class’ => ”,
‘cat_sort’ => false
)

);
return $custom_fields;
}
add_filter(‘geodir_custom_fields_custom’,’custom_myobject’,10,2);

I need to insert a number ($number) as value.
After that I need to save it as a short code as [myobject obj_number=””]., the object number being the $number. This means I want the front end user to add just a number. But actually to be saved as a shortcode.
How would I write function (snippet) to achieve this.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Pls note that I do not want to do the customization of $default_value in Line 1523 of class-geodir-settings-cpt-cf.php. But wish to achieve it by an external snippet function so that the custom function will not get affected by any future updates.

add_filter(‘geodir_custom_fields’,’custom_myobject’,10,2);

– Thanks

Did u follow the instructions here? https://wpgeodirectory.com/custom-field-improvements-in-new-v1-6-6/

With v2 is pretty much the same except the field name prefix of “geodir_” is no longer needed so “geodir_twitter” would just be “twitter”.

If you need more help just let us know.

Thanks,

Stiofan

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I flowed the your instruction on GitHub as well.
I can make the custom field work.
I created a gd_calendar.

But the calendar is unique for a gd_place.
I need to add a Shortcode something similar to “[mycal id=”1″] if I use the calendar id1.
Then, if I use calendar id-2 to a different post the shortcode would be [mycal id=”2”] etc.

So, all I need the user to insert is the ID number only.
Not the whole Shortcode.

How would I create a filter to achieve this.
So that I could allow user to inser ID numbers of different different calendars.

Front end user will not see the shortcode.
Only inserting the number.

– Thanks

I think I am getting there very slowly.

Can you please tell me how would I use a function similar to the following inside a Custom Field (for GD Sidebar).

QUOTE:
public function insert_shortcode_function(){
ob_start();
?>
function sd_insert_shortcode(){
$shortcode = jQuery(‘#sd-shortcode-output’).val();
if($shortcode){
jQuery(‘.gd-tab-settings-open textarea’).val($shortcode);
tb_remove();
}
}
<?php
return ob_get_clean();

}
UNQUOTE:

Then, I might be able to modify the function furthermore to get only number inserted, instead of the
[mycal id=”1″] as explained in my last post.

– Thank you.

OK, if u understand what you are trying to do then you can simply use a text input field, set it to number only and then that is all you need for the input, you don’t need to add a new field or worry about adding the shortcode on the fly with JS.

All you need to do is filter the output so insted of it outputting a number you make it output a shortcode or whatever…so the only code snippet you need to look at is this https://wpgeodirectory.com/custom-field-improvements-in-new-v1-6-6/#gist39301380

So for example if your field key was “mycal” you might have a code snippet like this:
```
function _my_mycal_output($html,$location,$cf){
	global $post;

	$html = ''; // set it to empty first.
	if (isset($post->{$cf['htmlvar_name']}) && $post->{$cf['htmlvar_name']} != '' ){
		$html .= do_shortcode("[mycal id=".$post->{$cf['htmlvar_name']}."]");
	}
	
	return $html;
}
add_filter('geodir_custom_field_output_text_key_mycal','_my_mycal_output',10,3);
```
Thanks,

My requirement was wee bit complicated than I mentioned in the post.
However, your examples on the GitHub and guidance on this post helped me to arrive at the final solution and it works fine for me now.

I shall later post a link of the working demo later.

Thank you very much once again.

Kind regards.
