<p>Pods AJAX Views offers an easy way to generate cached views from AJAX when they haven’t been cached yet. It will serve straight from cache and output on the page if the view has already been generated.</p>
<p>This plugin requires the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/pods/" rel="ugc">Pods Framework</a> version 2.4.1 or later to run.</p>
<h4>Why AJAX Views?</h4>
<p>If you are using <code>pods_view</code> to cache template output, you’re already on the right track to improving performance of your site through it’s powerful Partial Page Caching. However, what if you have a complicated view that may take a few seconds to generate? What if you have a few of those views on the same page?</p>
<p>On hosts like WPEngine, there’s a strict 30 second limit and then a 502 server error is sent to the visitor. Waiting a long time for a page to load, or especially being sent a server error like that just isn’t acceptable for visitors and they may choose to bail on your site.</p>
<p>Pods AJAX Views takes those complicated views and lets you off-load them into a separate asynchronous AJAX call that allows the rest of the page to be built and sent to the browser. When the AJAX request runs, the view is cached like normal, so subsequent calls to the Pods AJAX View code will produce the exact same result as a default <code>pods_view</code> would.</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<p>Use the same way as <code>pods_view</code>, it accepts the same arguments, except one additional argument <code>$forced_regenerate</code> at the end which can be set to true (default: false) that will force the view to be deleted from cache and reloaded.</p>
<pre><code>pods_ajax_view( 'my-big-cached-template.php' );
</code></pre>
<p>AJAX requests are done through the same URL, so you still have access to the query and postdata like normal. We hook into template_redirect to stop Beware that AJAXed views are loaded from AJAX, not through the current page. They do not have access to the current WP_Query or Query variables, or the Post loop. If you want to pass anything into it, use the $data argument.</p>

<h4>Available Constants</h4>
<ul>
<li><code>define( 'PODS_AJAX_VIEWS_STATS', true )</code> – Creates a table for Stats tracking and regeneration ability; Must be enabled before activating, if you enable it, just deactivate / activate again</li>
<li><code>define( 'PODS_AJAX_VIEWS_OVERRIDE', true )</code> – Overrides all pods_view() calls in the theme and turns them into AJAX views, even if they aren’t set to cache (it’ll load the non-cached version via AJAX)</li>
<li><code>define( 'PODS_AJAX_VIEWS_API_KEY', 'abcdefghijk' )</code> – This should be highly randomized, it’s the API key used to access the sitemap at yoursite.com/?pods_ajax_view_action=view_sitemap&pods_ajax_view_api_key=XXXX which must be accessed through the user (or anon) the regeneration will be run as because the URLs are specific to the user and have nonces on them; You can use this with a plugin like Warm Cache to keep your views fresh and always generated</li>
<li><code>define( 'PODS_AJAX_VIEWS_SITEMAP_LIMIT', -1 )</code> – You can override how many sitemap items will show, default is 250</li>

<h4>WP-CLI Command for Syncing Entries</h4>
<p>This add-on provides the ability to sync entries from a Form Submission and Entry Edit screen. To bulk sync all entries even prior to setting up a Pods Gravity Form Feed, you can run a WP-CLI command.</p>
<p><strong>Example 1: Sync all entries for Form 123 first active Pod feed</strong></p>
<pre><code>wp pods-gf sync --form=123
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Example 2: Sync all entries for Form 123 using a specific feed (even if it is inactive)</strong></p>
<pre><code>wp pods-gf sync --form=123 --feed=2
</code></pre>
<h4>Mapping GF List Fields to a Pods Relationship field</h4>
<p>You can map a GF List field to a Relationship field related to another Pod. Using the below examples you can customize how the automatic mapping works. By default, the list columns will map to the pod fields with the same labels.</p>
<p><strong>Example 1: Customize what columns map to which Related Pod fields for Form ID 1, Field ID 2</strong></p>
<p>Customizing a list field row can be done by using the <code>pods_gf_field_columns_mapping</code> filter, which has Form ID and Field ID variations (<code>pods_gf_field_columns_mapping_{form_id}</code> and <code>pods_gf_field_columns_mapping_{form_id}_{field_id}</code>).</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'pods_gf_field_columns_mapping_1_2', 'my_columns_mapping', 10, 4 );

/**
 * Filter list columns mapping for related pod fields.
 *
 * @param array    $columns  List field columns.
 * @param array    $form     GF form.
 * @param GF_Field $gf_field GF field data.
 * @param Pods     $pod      Pods object.
 *
 * @return array
 */
function my_columns_mapping( $columns, $form, $gf_field, $related_obj ) {

    $columns[0] = 'first_field';
    $columns[1] = 'second_field';
    $columns[2] = 'third_field';

    return $columns;

}
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Example 2: Customize a List row for Form ID 1, Field ID 2</strong></p>
<p>Customizing a list field row can be done by using the <code>pods_gf_field_column_row</code> filter, which has Form ID and Field ID variations (<code>pods_gf_field_column_row_{form_id}</code> and <code>pods_gf_field_column_row_{form_id}_{field_id}</code>).</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'pods_gf_field_column_row_1_2', 'my_column_row_override', 10, 6 );

/**
 * Filter list field row for relationship field saving purposes.
 *
 * @param array      $row         List field row.
 * @param array      $columns     List field columns.
 * @param array      $form        GF form.
 * @param GF_Field   $gf_field    GF field data.
 * @param array      $options     Pods GF options.
 * @param Pods|false $related_obj Related Pod object.
 *
 * @return array
 */
function my_column_row_override( $row, $columns, $form, $gf_field, $options, $related_obj ) {

    // Update certain row fields based on the value of specific column.
    if ( ! empty( $row['user_relationship_field'] ) ) {
        $user = get_userdata( (int) $row['user'] );

        // Set the post_title to match the User display name.
        if ( $user && ! is_wp_error( $user ) ) {
            $row['post_title'] = $user->display_name;
        }
    }

    return $row;
