How to run an additional function when options are submitted with the Settings API
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I am using the Settings API to store the settings a user makes for a plugin. In addition, when he or she hits the "Save" button on the plugin page, I want to make some calls to another API within wordpress (generate/update a CF7 Form) and not just make the post to 'options.php'
Saving the settings works having followed the tutorials and guidelines for using the settings api. Attached below is
- a hook I defined which I would expect to be called when the option is updated
- the definition of the callback function in the hook
- the 'form' tag (escaped from php) of the HTML code in the function to display the actual admin page.
This is the code excerts:
add_action('option_update_ordered_fields_in_form','set_cf7_form');
.....
function setup_cf7_form($oldval,$newval,$option) {
...
}
....
function stpz_settings_page() {
....?>....
<form method="post" action="options.php">
<?php settings_fields( 'form_my_settings' ); ?>
<?php do_settings_sections( 'form_my_settings' ); ?>
<tr>
<td><input id="result" type="hidden" name="ordered_fields_in_form" value="
<?php echo esc_attr( get_option('ordered_fields_in_form') ); ?>" /></td>
<td><?php submit_button(); ?></td>
</tr>
</form>
.....
<?php
}
?>
the function setup_cf7_form does not seem to be called at all when the submit button is clicked. I would naively suspect that this would update the option 'ordered_fields_in_form' and therefore trigger the hook.
(it actually does update the option which I can see if I reload the settings page for the plugin)
I suspect it may be the completely wrong way of doing this.

ok, the problem was just a few syntax errors. Leaving this here as what I described above actually works perfectly as intended
The correct line to add the hook is
add_action('update_option_ordered_fields_in_form','setup_cf7_form',10,3);
I am not sure, if the '10,3' arguments are necessary, but maybe they are, as the target function take 3 arguments. The main issue was however the missing 'up' in the function name and the reversed to words in the hook name (update_option instead of option_update), well :-/
