Is there any updates to this? Since this is almost 3 years old.. maybe this was added later on or still not possible?
Thanks 🙂This is probably the same problem I had. Events Manager PRO serializes all the meta values, and piklist also does this, so you get a double serialized value.
The solution we found was to unserialized Events Manager serialization for our piklist fields.
Use the hookem_event_save_meta_pre, on this hook check for your field, something like this:function HOOK_FUNCTION_event_save_meta_pre($event) { if (!empty($event->event_attributes['weitere_tage'])) { $event->event_attributes['weitere_tage'] = /* unserialize the value here */; } }Hope it helps!
@bjoerns yup, it’s the same problem. Events Manager serializes all the meta values and piklist is already serializing it, so we get a value that’s double serialized!
I’ll post in your topic, the solution we found, but basically we hook into events manager and unserialize it’s values 🙂
Yeah, the plugin is Events Manager Pro. Maybe piklist could have a “while” when unserializing data, where it would check if the value is serialized or not and while it’s serialized, try to unserialize it.
Even using the individual values, the plugin is serializing all the array and all the fields stay with the same value. If I have
workout_schedule3 times, all the meta values will be a serialized string with the 3 values. I need to find a way to make the plugin not to do this.Thanks for your help!
More findings..
The problem with an event plugin I was using, was because this plugin serializes all meta values that’s in the edit post.
As piklist already serializes the value for a group field, the value of the field is “double” serialized, that’s why it wasn’t loading in the first place.Any ideas on how to circumvent this Steve? I’ll try to exclude the piklist fields from serializing, but not serializing the field in piklist could be an option too, any way to do that?
Hey Steve!
I’ve digged into this a bit more and found out this issue happens when I use type group and save data as individual meta keys. This is the only case where the fields are saved but are not filled for editing.
I’ve used the addon file wp-content/plugins/piklist/add-ons/piklist-demos/parts/meta-boxes/field-add-more-single-level.php to test this (the one the states “Saves data as individual meta keys”).
Thanks!
In this case I didn’t create the custom type, it’s from woocommerce, custom type: product. Any ideas?
Let’s call the main menu “My Plugin” and a submenu “Settings”, creating the menu turns out like this:
My Plugin
– My Plugin
– Settings
