How do I reference a custom field int he php code

[Anonymous]

I am trying to write some code for an if statement about a custom field I created in my booking form. I was able to find this code sample to use as a starting point:

add_action('eme_insert_rsvp_action', 'my_eme_discount_function',20,1);
function my_eme_discount_function($booking) {
   global $wpdb;
   $bookings_table = $wpdb->prefix.BOOKINGS_TBNAME;
   $where = array();
   $fields = array();

   $event_id = $booking['event_id'];
   //$discount_code = $booking['event_id'];

      //print 'EVENT ID='.$event_id .' Booking_id = '.$booking['booking_id'];
 	//print_r ($booking);

   if ($event_id == 12) {        /* put in the event_id that needs processing */

      $seats=$booking['booking_seats'];
      $price=$booking['booking_price'];

      // more than 2 seats, then the price is 25 per seat
      if ($seats> 1)
          $price = 25;

      $fields['booking_price'] = $price;
      $where['booking_id'] = $booking['booking_id'];
      $wpdb->update($bookings_table, $fields, $where);
   }
   return;
}

But instead of calling

if ($event_id == 12)

I want to say

if ($my_new_field) == "valueOfField"

How would I reference the value of my new field?

Hopefully that make sense. Thanks!!

My syntax is wrong on that last part, but hopefully you still get the idea.

Use this to get the answers for a booking in an array, so you can test it later on:

$answers = eme_get_answers($booking['booking_id']);

ok, I can see the array, but my custom fields are not in it. Are these stored in a different place?

[Franky]

How did you add the field to the booking form then?
The only way custom fields can be added is via the method described here, all other fields you added via html itself will be ignored.

I added it via the admin. But I think you are right, I just added it to the RSVP: Form Format. Is there somewhere else I need to add it?

[Franky]

Yes, please do read the link I provided above, it explains how to correctly add extra fields.

ok, I was wrong. I did add these in the Form Fields view in the admin as well as adding it to the HTML of the form. I can see the values being captured in the CSV. Just not in the array.

and this is the code I am using to print the array.

print_r ($booking);

The code you posted above isn’t showing me the values in the array.

[Franky]

Try

$answers = eme_get_answers($booking['booking_id']);
print_r($answers);

[Anonymous]

still just get backArray()

[Franky]

List your code, and the output from print_r($booking) (you can obfuscate the parts you don’t want to be shown)

[Anonymous]

	$answers = eme_get_answers($booking['booking_id']);
 	
print_r ($answers);

results in
Array([event_id]=>7[person_id]=>7[wp_id]=>2[booking_seats]=>1[booking_seats_mp]=>[booking_price]=>370[booking_comment]=>test the comments[creation_date]=>xxxxxxx[modif_date]=>xxxx-xx-xx[creation_date_gmt]=>xxxxxx[modif_date_gmt]=>xxxxxxxx[booking_approved]=>0[booking_id]=>xx[transfer_nbr_be97]=>xxxxxxxxx

obviously just replaced some numbers there, but hopefully this gives you the idea.

[Franky]

Ok, let’s start from the top:
– if the CSV output shows it, it means it is in the output from
$answers = eme_get_answers($booking[‘booking_id’]);
– so: add the following code and show the output:

print_r ($booking);
$answers = eme_get_answers($booking['booking_id']);
print_r ($answers);

Array([event_id]=>7[person_id]=>7[wp_id]=>2[booking_seats]=>1[booking_seats_mp]=>[booking_price]=>370[booking_comment]=>comments[creation_date]=>xxxxxxx[modif_date]=>xxxx-xx-xx[creation_date_gmt]=>xxxxxx[modif_date_gmt]=>xxxxxxxx[booking_approved]=>0[booking_id]=>xx[transfer_nbr_be97]=>xxxxxxxxx)
Array()

This is not logical at all …
Can you mail the hook-code to me at liedekef[at]telenet.be ?

[Franky]

Ok, it’s in fact a bit of a bug:

when inserting a booking, the booking info is inserted in the DB, then the action hook is called and only then the answers are inserted in the db …
Of course the answers should be stored before the action hook is called, so you have all info at your disposal.
I’ll create a fix for this this evening, moving to bugs …
