Custom fields
Hi,
I have trouble adding a custom field to the Question and reply form.
I have successfully added (and modified) the field to the question form.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 | add_filter( 'buddypages_groups_get_is_admin', 'pluginizehelp_include_hidden_groups' );/** * Add custom fields to AnsPress question form. * * This hook will add two new fields in ask form. * * @param array $form Form arguments. * @return void */function my_custom_question_field( $form ) { // Nickname question field. $form['fields']['anonymous_name'] = array( 'label' => __( 'Name', 'anspress-question-answer' ), 'validate' => 'required,badwords', 'order' => 2, 'attr' => array( 'placeholder' => __( 'Kaldenavn' ), ), ); // Age question field. $form['fields']['age'] = array( 'type' => 'input', 'subtype' => 'number', 'attr' => array( 'placeholder' => __( 'Alder' ), ), 'label' => __( 'Your age', 'anspress-question-answer' ), 'validate' => 'required,badwords', 'order' => 2, ); // editing question field. $form['fields']['post_content'] = array( 'type' => 'textarea', 'label' => __( 'Description', 'anspress-question-answer' ), 'attr' => array( 'placeholder' => __( 'Spørgsmål' ), ), 'min_length' => ap_opt( 'minimum_question_length' ), 'validate' => 'required,min_string_length,badwords', ); return $form;}add_filter( 'ap_question_form_fields', 'my_custom_question_field' ); |
But I cannot figure out how to save it.
- I am not sure where to expect it to be saved? Should it be saved to the wp_ap_qameta table to the “fields” column just like anonymous_field is? Or should i register an actual custom field? If so – how?
- How do I save it? I have tried the code bellow, but even with all the stuff commented out it is causing a 500 error to an AJAX call when submitting the question. It gets submitted but I am not redirected to the question page.
- I see no documentation on how to retrieve this custom field but it kind of depends on the answers to the previous 2 questions.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 | //----------- S A V I N G --------function after_new_question($post_id, $post){ $form = anspress()->get_form( 'question_form' ); // Get all sanitized values. $values = $form->get_values(); // Check nonce and is valid form. /* if ( ! $form->is_submitted() ) { echo __( 'Holla, you trying to cheat!' ); return; }*/ // update_post_meta( $post_id, 'age', $values['age']['value'] ); }add_action('ap_processed_new_question', 'after_new_question', 0, 2 );add_action('ap_processed_update_question', 'after_new_question', 0, 2 ); |
I see this questin asked multiple times, but could’t work out the solution as some responses seem to be outdated or just pointing to this article https://anspress.io/resources/faq/anspress-form-and-validation-api/ that does not contain full solution.

A 500 error usually means a PHP issue. Possible causes in your original code:
$form->get_values(); may not work subway surfers as expected.
update_post_meta( $post_id, ‘age’, $values[‘age’][‘value’] ); may not be retrieving the value correctly.
Instead, directly use $_POST[‘age’], as shown in the fixed function.
