Implements PHP’s __set magic method allowing properties of the post to be set via direct property assignment. This method does not update the database, and you will need to call the WOOF_Post::update method to commit any changes made.
Note: Any attempt to set the post id directly (the “ID” property) will be denied, since the ID is generated by the database server.
This method also allows a number of properties to be set via alternative aliases which brings a bit more consistency and memorability as compared to the field names used in the database. The alias mappings available are:
- author => post_author
- date => post_date
- date_gmt => post_date_gmt
- content => post_content
- title => post_title
- excerpt => post_excerpt
- status => post_status
- password => post_password
- name => post_name
- slug => post_name
- modified => post_modified
- modified_gmt => post_modified_gmt
- content_filtered => post_content_filtered
- parent => post_parent
- type => post_type
- mime_type => post_mime_type
See the example for how to use these aliases.
Parameters:
-
The name of the property to set
-
The value of the property.
