Add original post ID to `column_cb` about tablepress

[TobiasBg]

Hi @matzeeable,

that's actually not that trivial, as the post ID is "masked" behind the internal table APIs. In fact, the "List of tables" screen does not even "know" that the tables are stored as WordPress posts (and technically, they don't have to be).

Can you maybe explain why you need the post IDs here? Can't you use the table IDs? This would also be safer and future-proof, e.g. when the connection between table ID and post ID is changed (in the background).

Or could you maybe solve this without needing a change in TablePress by using a custom copy of the _get_post_id method?

Best wishes,
Tobias

Hi again @TobiasBg !

Thanks for your message.

I need the post ID, so I can move the post to a category via wp_set_object_terms.

Or could you maybe solve this without needing a change in TablePress by using a custom copy of the _get_post_id method?

I think this could solve the issue, yes. But this API is currently not public.

Hi @matzeeable,

But this API is currently not public.

That's why I meant "custom copy" :-) That _get_post_id method essentially just calls one other method - which is public :-)

For me, this would be the preferred way of handling this.
