[defunctl]

Is there some way to get this to work with Advanced custom fields?

I've gotten it to work with using Advanced Custom Fields

    // Adding Advanced Custom Field Data
    function create( $post_id, $alt_post_type, $meta_keys = null ) {
    $this->get_version( $post_id );
    if ( $this->has_version() ) {
        return new WP_Error( 'alternate_already_exists', __( 'An alternate version already exists for this post.',   SUV_TEXTDOMAIN ) );
    }

    $this->original = get_post( $post_id );
    if ( ! isset( $this->original ) ) {
        return new WP_Error( 'alternate_no_original', sprintf( __( 'The post ID: %s could not be found.', SUV_TEXTDOMAIN ), $post_id ) );
    }
    $new_version['post_type'] = $alt_post_type;
    $new_version['post_parent'] = $this->original->ID;
    $new_version['ID'] = null;
    $new_version['post_status'] = 'draft';
    $new_version['post_content'] = $this->original->post_content;
    $new_version['post_name'] = $this->original->post_name;
    $new_version['post_title'] = $this->original->post_title;
    $new_version['post_excerpt'] = $this->original->post_excerpt;

    // Loop through Post Custom Meta and add to array 
    $custom_field_keys = get_post_custom_keys($new_version['post_parent']);
    foreach ( $custom_field_keys as $key => $value ) {
        $new_version[$value] = $this->original->$value;
    }
    //
    $result = wp_insert_post($new_version);
    if ( ! is_wp_error( $result ) ) {
        $this->post = get_post( $result );
        $this->copy_original_meta( $new_version );
        update_post_meta( $this->original->ID, self::tracking_meta_key, $this->post->ID );
    }
    return $result;
}
/* Because of sanization and serialization, it may be better to use SQL, but for now we are using the API
 **/
private function copy_original_meta( $new_version ) {   
    foreach ( $new_version as $key ) {
        $values = get_post_meta( $this->original->ID, $key );
        foreach ( $values as $v ) { 
            update_post_meta( $this->post->ID, $key, $v );
        }
        $taxonomies = get_object_taxonomies( $new_version['post_type'] );
            foreach( $taxonomies as $taxonomy ) {
            $terms = wp_get_post_terms( $this->original->ID, $taxonomy, array('fields' => 'names') );
            wp_set_object_terms( $this->post->ID, $terms, $taxonomy );
        }
        $custom_fields = get_post_custom( $this->original->ID );
            foreach ( $custom_fields as $key => $value ) {
            add_post_meta( $this->post->ID, $key, maybe_unserialize($value[0]) );
        }
    }
    update_post_meta( $this->post->ID, '_bu_version_copied_keys', $meta_keys);
}

Where did you add this code?

[defunctl]

Ahh I see you've manually edited bu-versions.php. Is it possible for the authors to fork this into the core?

[unwrittendevin]

Sounds good to me. I have no issues with you guys adjusting my code to work
better with the overall plugin!

That particular approach to handling cloned meta data isn't something we're ready to merge in to this plugin, but we are actively investigating alternatives.

When previewing the page using the ACF code above, the changes made are not shown in preview mode. Just an FYI

Has any progress been made with custom post meta copying?
