pw_insert_terms() - Function

[ansonphong]

Hi Haidy, Here is a function which we can create which will make it very easy to insert terms from an array, incase we need to do multiple times testing when doing data migration. I have already got some terms arrays here for testing, I will post them below.

pw_insert_terms() https://github.com/phongmedia/postworld/tree/master/php#pw_insert_terms--terms_array-input_formatforce_slugs-

Please note to add this to the "RSV2-data-migration" service tab with Innuva, as it technically falls outside of Postworld development, even though it makes sense to include it in the Postworld Library for future use.

Let me know if you have any questions about the function.

Here is the object to add, in terms of a Javascript object.

tax_terms = {
        "topic" : [
            {

I have some questions here: In the process: If a term* with the same slug already exists within a different taxonomy If $force_slugs == true, change the ** other ** slug - appending an incremental number

1- Do you mean that we insert a new term with the slug "slugname1" ? and then insert the children? 2- If the term doesn't exist at all. Should we insert it and its children?

[ansonphong]

1. YES - you understand exactly. Even better slugname-1. The old force-over-written slug keeps the same ID, thus keeping it's references, and the new one takes it's slug.
   This would only be used the first time running the script, generally, to make sure it doesn't clash with other terms.
2. Yes, if the term doesn't exist at all with that slug, then create it and insert the children.

[ansonphong]

Keep in mind for the question #1, that only applies if the term is of a DIFFERENT TAXONOMY. For instance, if you're inserting 'topic' terms and a 'post_tag' term with the same slug already exists. Otherwise, if it already exists in the same taxonomy, then keep it without renaming and just skip adding it, but add the children to that term ID.

[hmikhail]

Does this rule apply also to children? I can see that the same term can have multiple parents.

[ansonphong]

Yes, please also apply to the children.
