JetEngine - Data Store - Store item on view - Update custom meta

code

// This code monitors a given data store type (Store item on view), 
// and updates and replaces it with the value stored in the store in a given meta (number based) programmed way.
// It's ideal if you want to count the number of times a post has been viewed, and want to continuously transfer the value to a meta 
// (so you can do a popular sorting filter, for example)
// place the code in the child theme functions.php or a custom code snippets plugin like FluentSnippets
// how to use
// Create a new Data store - enable the "Count Items", and "Store item" on view option, and choose post type
// Create a number type meta (jetengine, or other plugins, or php)
// In the Number meta, recommended to set a default 0 value
// replace the "megtekintes" with your data store SLUG (you need to replace in two places top of the code, and bottom of the code !!)
// replace the "ev_megtekintes" with your number meta ID
// If you want to know what happening, dont delete the logs, this always will transfer information in your debug.log (if enabled) but you can delete all log if not need
