I’ve defined two Additional Fields: Branch and BookaRoom_ID. I would like to use these fields with the tribe_create_event function. When I view the wp_postmeta table, I see what should be these two fields, but the meta_key values are: _ecp_custom_2 and _ecp_custom_4 (I would have thought that the values would be the Additional Field label names that I defined).
\nAnyway, I am now trying to load values to these two fields using tribe_create_event and the meta_input tag (I am running wordpress 4.5.3). The meta_values are not appearing in the wp_postmeta table and I am not able to see them when I use the Filter Bar with those two Additional Fields.
\nCode Example:<\/p>\n
#Add Tribe Event
\n\t\t$startTime = date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’, $val[‘start’] );
\n\t\t$ev_startDate = date(‘Y-m-d’, $val[‘start’]);
\n\t\t$ev_startHour = date(‘H’, $val[‘start’]);
\n\t\t$ev_startMinute = date(‘i’, $val[‘start’]);
\n\t\t$endTime = date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’, $val[‘end’] );
\n\t\t$ev_endDate = date(‘Y-m-d’, $val[‘end’]);
\n\t\t$ev_endHour = date(‘H’, $val[‘end’]);
\n\t\t$ev_endMinute = date(‘i’, $val[‘end’]);<\/p>\n
\t\tglobal $user_ID;
\n\t\t$new_post = array(
\n\t\t‘post_title’ => $_SESSION[‘bookaroom_meetings_externalVals’][‘eventTitle’],
\n\t\t‘EventStartDate’ => $ev_startDate,
\n ‘EventStartHour’ => $ev_startHour,
\n ‘EventStartMinute’ => $ev_startMinute,
\n\t\t‘EventEndDate’ => $ev_endDate,
\n\t\t‘EventEndHour’ => $ev_endHour,
\n ‘EventEndMinute’ => $ev_endMinute,
\n\t\t‘post_content’ => $_SESSION[‘bookaroom_meetings_externalVals’][‘eventDesc’],
\n\t\t‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
\n\t\t‘post_author’ => $user_ID,
\n\t\t‘post_category’ => array(0),
\n\t\t‘meta_input’ => array (
\n\t\t ‘_ecp_custom_4’ => $insertID,
\n\t\t\t‘BookaRoom_ID’ => $insertID,
\n\t\t),
\n\t\t);
\n\t\t$post_id = tribe_create_event($new_post);\t\t<\/p>\n
\t\t###
\nWhen I do this, I can add the value with the meta_key value of BookaRoom_ID but not with the value of _ecp_custom_4. This means that the additional field(s) don’t show in the event view or as a filter value in the filter bar.<\/p>\n
Thanks,
