Easy Meta Builder

The fastest and easiest way to add meta fields to WordPress.

dirlikdesigns

<p>Easy to use XML feed importer with the ability to map feed items onto (custom) posts and their meta fields.</p>
<h4>Usage Notes</h4>
<ul>
<li>The feeds are managed (added / edited / deleted) like normal posts.</li>
<li>To import a new feed, you must first save the post with at least the title and URL fields filled in.
<ul>
<li>This is because the importer downloads a copy of the feed and works with that copy.</li>
<li>If you try to import before the feed is saved, the importer has no copy to work with yet.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Form explanation</h4>
<ul>
<li>Import
<ul>
<li>It’s the first field in the form, but the last step.</li>
<li>There is no cancel button, so once you click the ‘import’ button, you can only refresh (or move away from) the page to cancel the import.</li>
<li>The import is done 10 feed items at a time, the progress is shown under the import button.</li>
<li>The import sends ajax requests until the import is done at which point the spinner stops spinning and the progress message shows ‘n posts imported’</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>URL
<ul>
<li>the feed url</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Required Fields (optional)
<ul>
<li>comma separated list of (custom) post fields</li>
<li>if a field in this list has no mapping, than the import will fail</li>
<li>if the mapping of a field in this list turns out to be empty, than the corresponding feed item is skipped.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Unique Fields (optional)
<ul>
<li>comma separated list of (custom) post fields</li>
<li>unique fields are not implicitly required</li>
<li>skips a feed item if a field with this value already exists.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>CSV delimiter (optional)
<ul>
<li>if this field is empty, the plugin assumes the URL links to a XML file</li>
<li>if this field is non-empty, the plugin assumes the URL links to a CSV file, with the given value as the delimiter</li>
<li>a CSV file will be converted to XML, so the further usage of the plugin remains the same.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Select root
<ul>
<li>select the path to the items that should be mapped</li>
<li>i.e. you want to import products into your woocommerce installation</li>
<li>xml : <products> <product></product> … <product></product> </products></li>
<li>then the root should be /products/product</li>
<li>you can use the plus and minus buttons to go a level up or down</li>
<li>the select boxes show the possible paths for a given level</li>
<li>Click the ‘Select’ button to confirm the root</li>
<li>The XML area should fill up with the first item that matches root.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Select post field
<ul>
<li>the first select box shows the registered post types and Taxonomies.</li>
<li>the second select box shows the corresponding fields. (Even columns like ID which you probably shouldn’t set manually)</li>
<li>many of the fields are always the same and correspond to the columns in the <code>wp_posts</code> table in the database, but the meta fields can differ.</li>
<li>the plugin needs at least one existing object of the selected post type to find these meta fields.</li>
<li>the meta fields are based on the first post of the selected post type it finds.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Map
<ul>
<li>this shows the current mapping</li>
<li>if you have selected a mapping, it can be removed with the ‘x’ at the right hand side</li>
<li>if you are satisfied with the mappings, click ‘Save map’</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>XML
<ul>
<li>once you have selected a root, the first xml item at this path will be shown here.</li>
<li>click anywhere on the XML to get the corresponding paths</li>
<li>the selected path will appear above the colourful XML</li>
<li>if the path contains attributes, they will appear as selectboxes</li>
<li>if the desired path depends on a sibling in the XML, follow these instruction:</li>
<li>some XML looks like this ..<parent> <key>name</key><value>Dirlik<value></parent> …</li>
<li>in this case, click on the value tag in the XML and the corresponding path appears: ‘Assign path: …/parent/value’</li>
<li>now click on ‘parent’ in the path and 2 new selectboxes appear and an ‘Add to attribute list’ button</li>
<li>in our example you would select ‘key’ in the first selectbox and ‘name’ in the second</li>
<li>click ‘Add to attribute list’ and the path changes accordingly</li>
<li>once you see the path you want, click the ‘Add to map’ button.</li>
<li>The Map will now reflect that the path you chose is mapped om the selected post field.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>WARNING</h3>
<p>This plugin is new and requires more testing. If you decide to use the plugin, please make a backup of your database first.<br />
Once you click the <code>import</code> link, there is no cancel button, you can refresh (or move away from) the page to cancel the import.<br />
On your first go, try a smaller feed to make sure you mapped it right.</p>
<h3>TODO</h3>
<ul>
<li>add row actions</li>
<li>define type of imported value (now images only work with _thumbnail_id meta value)</li>
</ul>
