Pods Alternative Cache

Pods Alternative Cache provides optimal performance with Pods sites on hosts with no object caching or low limits. It was developed for and tested on the WPEngine platform to improve performance of cached objects generated from Pods, but it works on numerous other hosting providers. Pods Alternative Cache is a great addition to a site already utilizing Object Caching, it further separates and allows Pods to utilize more consistent persistent caching without affecting other plugins and WordPress caching objects. Especially when utilizing larger configurations, this plugin improves performance by ensuring other necessary objects are not removed by the server to make room for Pods cached objects. This plugin requires the Pods Framework version 2.4 or later to run. For more information on how to use this plugin, see https://pods.io/2014/04/16/introducing-pods-alternative-cache/. Also check out the FAQ below for more details on customizing the configuration through your wp-config.php file.

Bush for her help in the initial add-on UI work. WP-CLI Command for Syncing Entries 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. Example 1: Sync all entries for Form 123 first active Pod feed wp pods-gf sync --form=123 Example 2: Sync all entries for Form 123 using a specific feed (even if it is inactive) wp pods-gf sync --form=123 --feed=2 Mapping GF List Fields to a Pods Relationship field 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. Example 1: Customize what columns map to which Related Pod fields for Form ID 1, Field ID 2 Customizing a list field row can be done by using the pods_gf_field_columns_mapping filter, which has Form ID and Field ID variations (pods_gf_field_columns_mapping_{form_id} and pods_gf_field_columns_mapping_{form_id}_{field_id}). 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; } Example 2: Customize a List row for Form ID 1, Field ID 2 Customizing a list field row can be done by using the pods_gf_field_column_row filter, which has Form ID and Field ID variations (pods_gf_field_column_row_{form_id} and pods_gf_field_column_row_{form_id}_{field_id}). 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; }
