Hey @mariusnicula!

First, you can always add your own css to the admin-side of WordPress. With that you can adjust the styles however you’d like. Just use the admin_enqueue_scripts filter.

Next, it’s intended for groups, but even outside of them you can use the 'columns' attribute in fields to fit your fields within a 12 unit grid. So 'columns' => 12 is full-width.

Finally, for total customization, check out field templates.

Hope this helps!

Hi Donna!

That’s no good. That’s obviously important.

I’m looking into this. Can you please verify that if you look in $_GET instead of $_POST you’re not seeing the ID in there, either? The $_POST will contain the results of the form, but it looks like the fields are also being stored in the query var of the redirect url.

Thanks!

Ah, gotcha. We ran into this in the other thread, too. When you grab $silver you’re getting every instance of the group. So you have an array of arrays with the fields as indexes. So the first name would be $silver[0]['sponsor_silver_name']. You’ll have to be creative to determine if there are any silver groups as they may have an empty first. So something like the following:

function is_empty_group($group) {
  foreach($group as $item) {
    if ( $item['sponsor_silver_name'] ) {
      return false;
    }
  }

  return true;
}

// Then used as..
$silver = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'summit_sponsor_silver_group', true);
if ( is_empty_group($silver) ) {

} else {

}

I strongly recommend taking the concept of what I’m doing here and forming your own solution rather than taking it directly. I’m just throwing this together conceptually. 🙂

Correct. When you have a group in Piklist there’s always going to be an array with the fields saved. So even thought we think of it as empty, it’s still saving the fields as an array, albeit with empty values (or whatever the default value for the individual field is). So I’m assuming that to signify that there is no sponsor you’re simply leaving the group empty, in which case you have to determine which field in the group is how you’d determine that and check whether that field is empty.

Another option I’ve used is to have a radio field that has a title such as “Has a sponsor”, and the values “Yes” and “No”. Then conditionally show/hide the group based on that radio. Then you would check against the radio button to determine if there is or isn’t a sponsor.

It’s hard to say. If I had to guess I’d say the value of $silver probably isn’t what your expecting, which is why I suggest doing something like:

<?php
$silver = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'summit_sponsor_silver_group', true);
print_r($silver);

Hi @cannect!

I have to ask this first, since you’re calling it a category, would it not work better to be a taxonomy rather than a post type?

So if I understand correctly, you’re trying to get every project_category post that is related to a project?

Hi! I assume you’re not using the trunk version of Piklist? This should be fixed in the latest trunk version.

Thanks for reporting this!
