More Information

bulk_edit_custom_box is an action that lets plugin print inputs for custom columns when bulk editing. This action is called one time for each custom column. Custom columns are added with the manage_edit-${post_type}_columns filter. To save the data from the custom inputs, hook the save_post action.

Note that the action function is passed neither the post ID nor any existing value for the column.

See quick_edit_custom_box for basis.

    Saving Data

    Unlike quick edit’s data saving process, we’ll save via Ajax calls.

    add_action( 'wp_ajax_save_bulk_edit_book', 'save_bulk_edit_book' );
function save_bulk_edit_book() {
	// TODO perform nonce checking
	// get our variables
	$post_ids           = ( ! empty( $_POST[ 'post_ids' ] ) ) ? $_POST[ 'post_ids' ] : array();
	$book_author  = ( ! empty( $_POST[ 'book_author' ] ) ) ? $_POST[ 'book_author' ] : null;
	$inprint = !! empty( $_POST[ 'inprint' ] );

	// if everything is in order
	if ( ! empty( $post_ids ) && is_array( $post_ids ) ) {
		foreach( $post_ids as $post_id ) {
			update_post_meta( $post_id, 'book_author', $book_author );
			update_post_meta( $post_id, 'inprint', $inprint );
		}
	}

	die();
}

    Calling Ajax

    Our updated scripts/admin_edit.js from quick_edit_custom_box.

    (function($) {
	// we create a copy of the WP inline edit post function
	var $wp_inline_edit = inlineEditPost.edit;
	// and then we overwrite the function with our own code
	inlineEditPost.edit = function( id ) {
		// "call" the original WP edit function
		// we don't want to leave WordPress hanging
		$wp_inline_edit.apply( this, arguments );

		// now we take care of our business

		// get the post ID
		var $post_id = 0;
		if ( typeof( id ) == 'object' )
			$post_id = parseInt( this.getId( id ) );

		if ( $post_id > 0 ) {
			// define the edit row
			var $edit_row = $( '#edit-' + $post_id );
			var $post_row = $( '#post-' + $post_id );

			// get the data
			var $book_author = $( '.column-book_author', $post_row ).html();
			var $inprint = $( '.column-inprint', $post_row ).attr('checked');

			// populate the data
			$( ':input[name="book_author"]', $edit_row ).val( $book_author );
			$( ':input[name="inprint"]', $edit_row ).attr('checked', $inprint );
		}
	};

	$( document ).on( 'click', '#bulk_edit', function() {
		// define the bulk edit row
		var $bulk_row = $( '#bulk-edit' );

		// get the selected post ids that are being edited
		var $post_ids = new Array();
		$bulk_row.find( '#bulk-titles' ).children().each( function() {
			$post_ids.push( $( this ).attr( 'id' ).replace( /^(ttle)/i, '' ) );
		});

		// get the data
		var $book_author = $bulk_row.find( 'textarea[name="book_author"]' ).val();
		var $inprint = $bulk_row.find( 'input[name="inprint"]' ).attr('checked') ? 1 : 0;

		// save the data
		$.ajax({
			url: ajaxurl, // this is a variable that WordPress has already defined for us
			type: 'POST',
			async: false,
			cache: false,
			data: {
				action: 'save_bulk_edit_book', // this is the name of our WP AJAX function that we'll set up next
				post_ids: $post_ids, // and these are the 2 parameters we're passing to our function
				book_author: $book_author,
				inprint: $inprint
			}
		});
	});
})(jQuery);
