Hi Patrice,

I have situation where with cron job a do some query’s and put results as ID’s in post meta field.
so we use update_post_meta function, that works like expected, but WPsolr doesn’t detected changes on post.

So I come with possible solution, initiate wp_post_update function on update_post_meta / but this is expensive call on large database where possible 1000 inserts can be done at some moments and i would like to avoid it, and question is will that work 🙂

Second possible solution is to insert this data directly also for Elasticsearch at same moment when post meta is updated

Third possible solution is to hook with your plugin and to do something.

What you can suggest me?

Regards!

Yes, WPSOLR is hooked on wp_post_update to detect real-time changes.

You should use it to trigger the reindexing. And it certainly costs much less than update_post_meta that you already use.

Or, you can use our cron extension to schedule a full/incremental reindexing every night.

I think I made mistake with a name, and than you repeated it, so function wp_post_update is actually wp_update_post ?

Are you sure that you hooked on this function? I am not sure how I can update post meta with that function according wp codex it is not possible?
every where is suggested to use update_post_meta function :/

WPSOLR is hooked to WP actions for triggering real-time indexing: save_post, add_attachment, edit_attachment, delete_attachment, create_term, edit_term, pre_delete_term, comment_post, wp_set_comment_status.

aha, I am using save_post_{$post_type}

so i need to switch to save post and to check for custom post type inside function.

Ok, but this is maybe idea if custom post are indexing to hook on this also…

You mean: added_post_meta, updated_post_meta, deleted_post_meta ?

no I mean to hook on save post action for custom post type’s

for example

custom_post === test

add_action( ‘save_post_test’, ‘my_update_user_meta_function’, 10, 3 );

Do you trigger action ‘save_post_test’ manually?

Ok I made test’s and it appear that tringering insert post to update meta is very expensive operation

update_post_meta takes no more than 0.001 sec or less but updating post takes from 1 to 2 sec.

imagine how much is that time for 1000 post in one pass…

so i ended with updating field in elasticsearch and post_meta fields, but you should consider to add trigger when post meta is updated…
