php and wordpress

[fxpepper]

Hello,

This is php with wordpress question...

add_action( 'save_post', 'ces_meta_box_save' );
function ces_meta_box_save( $post_id ) {
	// Bail if we're doing an auto save
	if( defined( 'DOING_AUTOSAVE' ) && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) return;

// if our nonce isn't there, or we can't verify it, bail
if( !isset( $_POST['meta_box_nonce'] ) || !wp_verify_nonce( $_POST['meta_box_nonce'], 'my_meta_box_nonce' ) ) return;

// if our current user can't edit this post, bail
if( !current_user_can( 'edit_post' ) ) return;

// This is purely my personal preference for saving check-boxes  
$chk = isset( $_POST['features_module'] ) ? 'on' : 'off';  
update_post_meta( $post_id, 'features_module', $chk );

}


function display_features_module() {
	global $chk;

if ($chk  == 'on') {  // also tried using $_Post[$chk]
		echo '<style type="text/css"> #featured_post { display:none !important; }</style>';
	}
}

add_action('wp_head','display_features_module');

I am basically just trying to change styles based on $chk variable -which should have "on" or "off" value. It's saving but I can't get it to display the correct styles. When it's set above (in the save function), it's always showing "off" so I am guessing it's not saving this value/i'm doing something wrong...

anyone have any advice?

thank u!

You are posting features_module, not chk, so maybe try:

 function display_features_module() { 
    // global $chk;

if ($_POST['features_module']  == 'on') {  
        echo '<style type="text/css"> #featured_post { display:none !important; }</style>'; 
    } 
}

you are so right! I see that $chk is just set to true or false...

thanks!!
