PRO - Assign X template to dynamically added page

[lijecreative]

Hi,

I’m using wp_insert_post to add few hundreds page to my Wordpress.
I previously created some templates with X that I need to assign to these new pages.
How can I do that using PHP in my import script please?

Regards

Hi @lijecreative,

Thanks for writing in.

There is no available API for that as of now. The data are stored in a post meta of a page/post and it’s a serialized data. The post meta name is _cornerstone_data, and you can use this line to get the data

$POST_ID = 782;
$data = cs_get_serialized_post_meta( $POST_ID, '_cornerstone_data', true );

or this one to update the data

$data = 'your data';
$POST_ID = 782;

cs_update_serialized_post_meta( $POST_ID, '_cornerstone_data', $data, '', false, 'cs_content_update_serialized_content' );

This is just based on the code I saw in the core, it’s up to you how you’ll handle the data after the retrieval or before updating. What you could do is, a trial and error, first, pull an existing data and observe its format (using var_dump and debugging), then use that format to build your own data. We can’t provide further support on this, I just provided this to help you or your developer to get started

Thanks!

Well, the _cornerstone_ data post meta isn’t set or created when you apply an existing X template to the current page, in the admin.

The content of the page is just populated with the content of the template so I guess I must update the page content data instead.

Cornerstone template’s information are stored in the wp_posts table with cs_template as the post type. That is all I can give though because as support, we do not focus on the internal functions of the theme let alone we can give you a custom script as that is outside the scope of our support.

Thank you for understanding.
