Column Informations
Hello, I need to find the name of a column from his meta.
If I know that a column meta for a specific custom post type is column-meta-1, how can I find the name of this column.
Or better can I find the name of custom field related with this column?
Hi Rocco,
If you would just like to retrieve the Custom Field key that corresponds to the column name I would suggest using the Column object.
Here is an example code that retrieves the column object and outputs the custom field key.
function ac_get_column_by_name_example() {
$post_type = 'post';
$column_name = 'column-meta-1';
$layout_id = '';
if ( $column = cpac()->get_column( $post_type, $layout_id, $column_name ) ) {
// output column label
echo $column->get_label();
// output custom field key
echo $column->get_field_key();
exit;
}
}
add_action( 'cac/loaded', 'ac_get_column_by_name_example' );
Here you will find further documentation about the Column object and it’s methods.
