Image Fields
Importing Single Images
Image fields allow the user to specify a single image URL or file path.
Rapid Add-On will automatically place the specified image in the Media Library and pass the ID of the media to the registered import function.
These fields should all be defined in your add-on's constructor.
$this->add_on->add_field( 'property_featured_img', 'Property Featured Image', 'image' );
Your add-on’s import method will be passed the image data as an array. The ID of the image will be passed as the “attachment_id” array key.
Here’s how to set the Featured Image/Post Thumbnail to the specified image.
This example assumes the field slug specified in add_field is “property_featured_img”.
public function import( $post_id, $data, $import_options ) {
$attachment_id = $data['property_featured_img']['attachment_id'];
set_post_thumbnail( $post_id, $attachment_id );
}
Importing Multiple Images
You can add entire image sections, with all of the settings and features that the default image section has, using the import_images() function.
$this->add_on->import_images( 'property_images', 'Property Images', 'images', [ $this, 'property_images' ]);
This will call the property_images() method every time an image is imported. There you can process the image references as needed.
public function property_images( $post_id, $attachment_id, $image_filepath, $import_options ) {
// Retrieve previously stored image references.
$urls = get_post_meta($post_id, 'property_gallery', true);
// Add the attachment ID to the list as our example requires.
$urls[] = $attachment_id;
// Create a comma delimited list for our example field.
$new_urls = implode(',', $urls);
// Save the updated list of attachment IDs.
update_post_meta( $post_id, 'property_gallery', $new_urls );
}
Some themes allow users to upload files like PDFs. You can enable another section, identical to the default image section, except that it will allow any file type to be imported and attached to the post.
$this->add_on->import_files( 'property_attachments', 'Property Attachments', [ $this, 'property_attachments' ] );
