Tags custom field doesn't sync correctly #29

Closed bryanharley closed 5 months ago

bryanharley commented 3 years ago

The new "tags" type of custom field introduced in 7.2 does not sync correctly to WordPress. For example, in Cablecast I created a "Tags" custom field called "Tags." I added the tag "Valentine's Day" to a show. On the WordPress side, the post metadata is created with "Tags" as the key, but the value is "1". So something is broken (looks like this is the number of tags, I added another and it changed to 2). But also, I think importing "tags" as WP post metadata doesn't make sense. This should be implemented differently.

If a "Tags" type custom field exists on Cablecast, it should instead be registered as a new tag taxonomy for the 'show' custom post type.

This is a good idea... The tags custom field was added most of the code in this plugin was written. I'll add it to the todo list.

Registering a new tags taxonomy in WordPress is easy. But I was looking at how you sync custom fields from Cablecast and "FieldDefinitions", but I don't really see how to confirm if a custom field is a "tag" type. https://yourtown.cablecast.tv/CablecastAPI/documentation
