PRO: Update CPT with new JSON-data

This pages shows you how to update Custom Post Type-Pages by running a twig-script which is loading the JSON-data and updates Page by Page.

Create a JCI-Template with

• URL: https://api.json-content-importer.com/extra/json/meetup/1.json
• twig-template:
  • wp_clear_taxonomy: remove all taxconomy-enties from the taxonomy defined by “taxonomyslug”
  • “{% for i in _context %}”: Loop through JSON-data
  • wp_get_cp_by_cpf_keyvalue: Check if there are existing Pages of the CPT slug (=”cptexample”), where the CPF “cpf1” matches the JSON-datafield “id”
  • If there is a Page use wp_insert_custom_field_keyvalue to insert / overwrite a CPF. And wp_insert_taxonomy to insert a taxonomy-value.

{% set slug = 'cptexample' %}
{% set taxonomyslug = 'cptaxonomyexample' %}
{% set cleartax = wp_clear_taxonomy(taxonomyslug, FALSE) %}
{% for i in _context %}
{% if i.id %}
name: {{i.name}}<br>
{% set cpfound = wp_get_cp_by_cpf_keyvalue(slug , 'cpf1', i.id)  %}
{% if cpfound.0 %}
{% set tz = date().format('U') %}
{% set rescpf = wp_insert_custom_field_keyvalue(cpfound.0, 'cpf2', tz ~ ' - '~i.name, FALSE) %}
{% set taxval= 'tax-'~cpfound.0 %}
{% set addtax = wp_insert_taxonomy(cpfound.0, taxonomyslug, taxval, TRUE) %}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
