Values containing arrays may be returned as string, causing errors (GP Media Library)

[doekenorg]

A recent support issue showed problems with fields that return an array of values; which are supposed to be a string. This problem is very clear on the GravityPerks Media Library plugin; where the media Id's field returns an array.

This issue is two-fold:

• [ ] Type checks for (internal PHP) functions before call them
• [ ] Check if we can merge these values by default using the glue

As a feature we can also:

• [ ] Add support for the Media Library field by default

The temporary fix for the customer was:

add_filter( 'gfexcel_meta_value', function ( $value, $entry, $field ) {
    if ( strpos( $field->id, 'gpml_ids_' ) !== false && is_array( $value ) ) {
        $value = implode( ", ", $value );
    }

    return $value;
}, 10, 3 );
