geodir_get_post_info() Not returning updated listing

Hello,

I’m building a plugin for GeoDirectory that augments the default ‘Listing Edited’ email with a diff of how the listing has changed. However, I’ve run into a brick wall because when I call geodir_get_post_info() it returns the *old* geodir data, with the *new* post data.

Here’s how the plugin works:

First, before updating a post I save it in a post meta:

function save_previous($post_ID)
{
    if (get_post_type($post_ID) == 'gd_place') {
        $post = get_post($post_ID);
        $geoDir = geodir_get_post_info($post_ID);
        update_post_meta($post_ID, "previous_version", ["originalPost" => $post, "geodirInfo" => $geoDir]);
    }
}

add_action("pre_post_update", "save_previous");

This works perfectly and I only add it here for context.

Then, I hook into

geodir_sendEmail_message

:

`
add_action(“geodir_sendEmail_message”, “append_to_message”, 10, 10);

`

In that method I:

Check

$message_type

to see if it’s

"listing_edited"

Check if my

previous_version

exists

Call

geodir_get_post_info()

to get the new listing

Run the diff algorithm

Here are the relevant parts of the function:

`
function append_to_message($message, $fromEmail, $fromEmailName, $toEmail, $toEmailName, $to_subject, $to_message, $extra, $message_type, $post_id, $user_id)
{
if ($message_type != “listing_edited”) {
return $message;
}

$previousData = get_post_meta($post_id, “trenton_previous_version”, true);
if ($previousData) {
return $message;
}

//Convert objects to arrays inline.
$previousGeodir = json_decode(json_encode($previousData[‘geodirInfo’]), true);

$currentGeodir = json_decode(json_encode(geodir_get_post_info($post_id)), true);

//Run diff and append to $message

return $message;
}
add_action(“geodir_sendEmail_message”, “append_to_message”, 10, 10);

`

Normally, I would just move this to another action and send an email on my own, but since

wp_insert_post

is the last action in the post edit actions, I don’t have that option.

So, is this a bug in geodirectory? Am I using the wrong function? Is there a mistake I can’t see in my code?
