Table based storage of Pods with AC pro issue
I’m using Admin Columns Pro with Pods.
It works great with META based storage field on Pods,
but when I test it on TABLE based storage, something goes wrong with the filtering.
I can’t see any possible value in drop down menu.
Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot.
Hi Funic,
Unfortunately it is not supported to use the Pods Advanced Custom Post Types feature with Admin Columns Pro.
Since our plugin uses the WordPress hooks to determine the columns and values, it is almost impossible to integrate our plugin with this specific Pods functionality. I already had a look at this in the past, but there are just not enough hooks to integrate our plugin with this feature.
just stumbled on that –
CPT have 2 options for meta values storage
– meta storage (wp default)
– table base storage (all meta values are stored in a separate table, works in almost of all cases like meta)
Advance Custom Type – fully separate table and no support for most of the default wp stuff
Thanks for the additional info.
I’m not completely sure if you need anything from use on this one :)
It’s related to https://www.admincolumns.com/forums/topic/filter-for-number-max-min-doesnt-work-for-pods-fields/
and the Fact that “table storage” is not in any way related to ACT (Advanced Custom Type) besides the fact that both use a custom table!
Ok thanks.
We will build in a check for Table based post types and disable Filtering for those post types.
Since we really rely on the post_meta table to query the database, filtering will not work with these kinds of post types. The check will be shipped in the next release for the Pods integration.
