Filter Conditional Option

Hi Demian,

Can you confirm if you have tried enabling the delete permission in the importer? this should delete any previous records that the importer has imported that no longer exist in the import file.

James

HI James,

The records still exist in the file, past records should also not be removed. We just have the scenario that if a record has a different "status" after time it should not be part of the import anymore. But this status changes. 

So all status with "available" for example should be imported, but not the one with "withdrawn". Initially this works, but a status can change later on.

Hi James,

I re-read my case and it might be still unlcear. To give more calrity:

The records can be imported with this <status> field:

FOR_RENT
FOR_SALE

Over time they can have these <status>:

RENTED
SOLD
WITHDRAWN

The records that went from FOR_RENT/FOR_SALE towards RENTED/SOLD need to stay in the website. But the ones that become WITHDRAWN should not stay and should be trashed.

Is there a filter for this?

I think i understand, if you have the status being set to a importer template field then you could fetch that fields value, and if its being updated you can delete the record, and if its an insert you can skip the record, using the following code (changing the getValue line to match the status field, and remove any previous filtering you have to skipping the rented/sold/withdrawn status):

add_action('iwp/importer/mapper/before', function ($data) {

    /**
     * @var \ImportWP\Common\Importer\ParsedData $data
     */
    if ($data->getValue('post_title') == 'Post 1 Title') {

        // if data is an update, then we move the record to trash,
        // otherwise we just skip
        if ($data->isUpdate()) {
            wp_delete_post($data->getId());
        }

        throw new \ImportWP\Common\Importer\Exception\RecordUpdatedSkippedException("Record deleted.");
    }
});

Hi James, Thank you. This is the field record: record: {/RealEstateProperty/PropertyInfo/Status}And it's to update ACF 'status_listing'How do I add this for $data?With thanks,Demian  

Are you importing that into a field? {/RealEstateProperty/PropertyInfo/Status}, if not i can look into a way to get this direct from the xml file.

Hi James,

Yes that field is being imported. Come from the ticket: https://helpdesk.importwp.com/ticket/c8f8c319-eb82-4f76-bae2-46c2c0d45941/

function iwphd888_status($status = '', $for_sale = '', $rent = '')
{
    if ($rent == 'true') {
        return 'Rent';
    } elseif ($for_sale == 'true') {
        return 'Sale';
    } elseif (!empty($status)) {
        return $status;
    }

    return '';
}

[iwphd888_status("{/RealEstateProperty/PropertyInfo/Status}","{/RealEstateProperty/Offer/IsForSale}","{/RealEstateProperty/Offer/IsForRent}")]

Can you please export and attach your importer settings to this ticket by going to Tools > Import WP > Settings / Tools > Import / Export and select and export your importer as a JSON file.

So that i can see which field is using that, maybe also take a screenshot of the field in the importer so i can  confirm.

James

The following code will check to see if the value for custom fields row 1 has either 'RENTED', 'SOLD', or 'WITHDRAWN' it will be deleted.

add_action('iwp/importer/mapper/before', function ($data) {

    /**
     * @var \ImportWP\Common\Importer\ParsedData $data
     */
    if (in_array(trim($data->getValue('custom_fields.0.value', 'custom_fields')), ['RENTED', 'SOLD', 'WITHDRAWN'])) {

        // if data is an update, then we move the record to trash,
        // otherwise we just skip
        if ($data->isUpdate()) {
            wp_delete_post($data->getId());
        }

        throw new \ImportWP\Common\Importer\Exception\RecordUpdatedSkippedException("Record deleted.");
    }
});
