Action Hook Field

There is an element on the Form Elements called Action Hook. This is a great addition for developers to extend the form as they want. It's a placeholder for creating their own hook where they could bind their functions and generate their own dynamic element.

Usage:

Parameters:

• $form_id : (integer) The ID of the form
• $post_id : NULL or (integer) the ID of the post. When creating a new post, the parameter becomes NULL. When editing a post, you get the edited post ID as the parameter
• $form_settings : (array) An array of form settings

Example:

Here we have added a new action hook field called my_brand_new_hook and saving our field informations in a meta key named your_meta_key. We are adding the field into the form with the your_function_name function and updating the form value with update_my_brand_new_hook

Code Example,

/*
* How to use custom Action/hook inside your post form.
*/
/**
* Add the input field to the form
* Save & update the field on the backend metabox
*
* @param int $form_id
* @param null|int $post_id
* @param array $form_settings
*
*/
function render_my_custom_hook( $form_id, $post_id, $form_settings ) {
    $value = '';
    if ( $post_id ) {
        $value = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'your_meta_key', true );
    }
    ?>
