This fixes a bug where updating child terms to have no parent was being prevented.
The bug was that we were using some
if ( empty() )checks vsif ( ! isset() )checks.So, when the ID
0was passed for the parentId, it was bailing because it was "empty", even though it was set intentionally as 0 and 0 is a valid ID to set as the parent of a term.Does this close any currently open issues?
closes: #3296
Any other comments?
Before:
Executing the updateCategory mutation on a child term, setting the parentId to
"0"would not properly set the term's parent to0, leaving the child category a child category instead of a top level category.Also, if we use an encoded id of
term:0(dGVybTow) that also does not work:After
Now, setting the
parentIdto"0"(or the encoded id forterm:0(dGVybTow)) properly updates the term to be a top-level term with no parent.Additionally, we've also added the
parentDatabaseIdinput as an option. So mutations can accept encoded Ids forparentIdor theparentDatabaseIdusing the integer value. The docs for each field have been updated to indicate one or the other should be used but not both, and an error is returned if both are used.
