How to use pods fields in existing forms of thirdparty themes
When a developer is using wordpress with in a existing theme that comes with exising forms, there is a work to do if he wants to integrate extended fields into those forms. For example if a theme comes with a registration form and there are several extended fields for the user.
In this case we need to add inside the form the new fields, and this can be a “pain”, because with form methods of pods object the work is done in seconds.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | $mypod = pods( 'mypod' ); // Only show the 'name', 'description', and 'other' fields. $fields = ( 'name', 'description', 'other' ); // Output a form with all fields echo $mypod->form($fields); |
We can’t use this becase form method render an entire form with its
1 | " |
1 |
tag and with the submit button.
Well, to do this we can use directly the function field from PodsForm.php (http://pods.io/docs/code/pods-form/field/). I leave you a function donde by me:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 | function pods_utils_show_pod_fields($pod, $selected_fields = null, $name_prefix = "", $theme_name = ""){ $pods = pods( $pod ); $fields = $pods->fields(); foreach($fields as $field) { if($selected_fields != null) if(!($field['name'], $selected_fields)) continue; ?> <label for="<?php echo $name_prefix . $field['name']; ?>"> <!--?php _e( $field['label'], $theme_name ); ?--> <!--?php $label['options']['required'] == 1 ? _e( '(required)', $theme_name ) : ""; ?--> </label> <!--?php echo PodsForm::field( $name_prefix . $field['name'], null, $field['type'], null, $pod_name, null ); ?--> <!--?php <br ?--> } } pods_utils_show_pod_fields('mypod'); pods_utils_show_pod_fields('mypod', ("field1", "field3")); |
Hope it helps
