I have a custom post type crm, and i need to send a mail after each crm saved or updated. i user cmb2 for some custom meta like subject, to users etc. I know the save_post
hook fires after post save (according to WordPress codex) in my case when i call save_post
with two parameters (id and post) the post does not contains update values. here is my code :
function send_mail_to_user($id, $post){
$crm = $post;
$user_email = array();
if($crm->vc_all_vc == 'on'){
$args = array('orderby' => 'display_name');
$wp_user_query = new WP_User_Query($args);
$authors = $wp_user_query->get_results();
if (!empty($authors)) {
foreach ($authors as $author) {
array_push($user_email , $author->user_email );
}
}
}
else{
$to_users = $crm->vc_users;
$to_program = $crm->vc_program;
$to_group = $crm->vc_group;
$to_excode = $crm->vc_ex_code;
foreach ($to_users as $key => $value) {
$user_data = get_userdata($value);
array_push($user_email, $user_data->user_email);
}
foreach ($to_program as $key => $value) {
$users = get_users( array('meta_key' => 'programs' ) );
if($users){
foreach ($users as $index => $data) {
if(in_array($value , explode('#', $data->programs))){
if(! in_array($data->user_email, $user_email) )
{
array_push($user_email, $data->user_email);
}
}
}
}
}
foreach($to_group as $group) {
$term = get_term_by('slug', esc_attr($group), 'user-group');
$user_ids = get_objects_in_term($term->term_id, 'user-group');
foreach($user_ids as $user_id){
$fc_user = get_userdata($user_id);
if(! in_array($fc_user->user_email, $user_email) )
{
array_push($user_email, $fc_user->user_email);
}
}
}
foreach($to_excode as $codes) {
$value = explode('*',$codes)[1];
$users = get_users( array('meta_key' => 'programs' ) );
if($users){
foreach ($users as $index => $data) {
if(in_array($value , explode('#', $data->programs))){
if(! in_array($data->user_email, $user_email) )
{
array_push($user_email, $data->user_email);
}
}
}
}
}
}
foreach($user_email as $index => $email){
$to = $email;
$subject = $crm->vc_subject;
$body = $crm->post_content;
$headers = array(
'Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8'
);
wp_mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
}
}
add_action( 'save_post', 'send_mail_to_user', 10, 2 );
And i also try publish_post
hook , that works fine when new post created but when updated it works same. I have tried edit_post
and post_updated
hook also, but i never be able to retrieve my update data.
So how can i solve it? which action hook will give me all the new data? thanks in advance.
You can use something like this,
function your_custom_function($meta_id, $post_id, $meta_key='', $meta_value='') {
if($meta_key=='_edit_lock') {
// if post meta is updated
}
}
add_action('updated_post_meta', 'your_custom_function', 10, 4);
