Let me try to post once more, maybe today it will let me post.
I managed to solve my problem as I originally intended. The benefit my method brings is separating the hex color values from the client management, so that people that deal with entering data for clients/posts don’t need to deal with color values. I know my client long enough to know this is for the best, they are not very computer savvy. 🙂
There were a few things I needed to do to solve the problem. First, my Piklist files had a problem on the scope definition, by removing that I just let Piklist find the scope from where it was being created, which made sure all the variables would save correctly (they weren’t originally, as I found out).
The rest of the work was all on my theme file. The following is the code I used to pull the information from the database. Please note that I’m a designer, not a developer, so if there is anything about the code that makes you facepalm, please keep that in mind 🙂
<?php // Fetch the complete metadata object for ceu_clients $client_meta = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'ceu_clientes' ); // If a client was not set, skip trying to display the info box if ($client_meta && !is_wp_error( $client_meta )) { // Isolate the term_id for the client foreach ( $client_meta as $term ) { $client_ID = $term->term_id; break; } // Get the ceu_color ID for this client, and the HEX color value for the corresponding ceu_color $color_meta = piklist( get_term_custom, $client_ID ); $color_value = piklist( get_term_custom, $color_meta[ceu_client_color] ); ?> <?php // Set the CSS style for this client ?> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> #post-<?php the_ID(); ?> .entry-side-meta .client a { background-color: <?php echo $color_value[ceu_hex_color]; ?>; } </style> <?php // Print the client information ?> <?php the_terms( $post->ID, 'ceu_clientes', '<div class="client">', '<br>', '</div>' ); }; ?>Took some effort, but I think the system works in a very elegant way for the user. Thanks a lot for the help.
Not sure if my post is going through, maybe because I linked some images it got stuck on moderation? If that happened, I apologize for posting the same thing more than once.
I should probably post the Piklist files as well:
Color picker for Colors taxonomy
<?php /* Title: Propriedades Taxonomy: ceu_colors Capability: manage_options */ // Let's create a text box field piklist('field', array( 'type' => 'colorpicker' ,'scope' => 'post_meta' ,'field' => 'ceu_hex_color' ,'label' => __('Cor') ,'description' => __('Clique na caixa') ,'attributes' => array( 'class' => 'text' ) )); ?>Dropdown for selecting colors on Client taxonomy
<?php /* Title: Propriedades Taxonomy: ceu_clientes Capability: manage_options */ // Let's create a text box field piklist('field', array( 'type' => 'select' ,'scope' => 'post_meta' ,'field' => 'ceu_client_color' ,'label' => 'Cor de destaque' ,'description' => 'Cor usada para o fundo de áreas de destaque deste cliente.' ,'choices' => piklist( get_terms('ceu_colors', array( 'hide_empty' => false )) ,array( 'term_id' ,'name' ) ) )); ?>Sure. It’s kinda long because I needed to translate the labels to Portuguese.
// Add custom taxonomy for Clients add_filter('piklist_taxonomies', 'ceu_clientes'); function ceu_clientes($client_taxonomies) { $client_taxonomies[] = array( 'post_type' => 'post' ,'name' => 'ceu_clientes' ,'show_admin_column' => true ,'configuration' => array( 'hierarchical' => true ,'labels' => array( 'name' => _x( 'Clientes', 'taxonomy general name' ), 'singular_name' => _x( 'Cliente', 'taxonomy singular name' ), 'search_items' => __( 'Buscar' ), 'popular_items' => __( 'Populares' ), 'all_items' => __( 'Todos' ), 'parent_item' => __( 'Cliente pai' ), 'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Cliente pai:' ), 'edit_item' => __( 'Editar' ), 'update_item' => __( 'Atualizar' ), 'add_new_item' => __( 'Adicionar novo' ), 'new_item_name' => __( 'Nome' ), 'separate_items_with_commas' => __( 'Separe por vÃrgulas' ), 'add_or_remove_items' => __( 'Adicionar ou remover' ), 'choose_from_most_used' => __( 'Mais frequentes' ), 'not_found' => __( 'Nenhum cliente encontrado.' ), 'menu_name' => __( 'Clientes' ), ) ,'show_ui' => true ,'show_tagcloud' => false ,'query_var' => true ,'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'cliente' ) ) ); return $client_taxonomies; } // Add custom taxonomy for Colors add_filter('piklist_taxonomies', 'ceu_colors'); function ceu_colors($color_taxonomies) { $color_taxonomies[] = array( 'post_type' => 'post' ,'name' => 'ceu_colors' ,'show_admin_column' => true ,'hide_meta_box' => true ,'configuration' => array( 'hierarchical' => false ,'labels' => array( 'name' => _x( 'Cores', 'taxonomy general name' ), 'singular_name' => _x( 'Cor', 'taxonomy singular name' ), 'search_items' => __( 'Buscar' ), 'popular_items' => __( 'Populares' ), 'all_items' => __( 'Todos' ), 'parent_item' => null, 'parent_item_colon' => null, 'edit_item' => __( 'Editar' ), 'update_item' => __( 'Atualizar' ), 'add_new_item' => __( 'Adicionar nova' ), 'new_item_name' => __( 'Nome' ), 'separate_items_with_commas' => __( 'Separe por vÃrgulas' ), 'add_or_remove_items' => __( 'Adicionar ou remover' ), 'choose_from_most_used' => __( 'Mais frequentes' ), 'not_found' => __( 'Nenhuma cor encontrado.' ), 'menu_name' => __( 'Cores' ), ) ,'show_ui' => true ,'show_tagcloud' => false ,'query_var' => true ,'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'cor' ) ) ); return $color_taxonomies; }
