5. {
6.     if (('atbdp_expiry_date' === $column_name) && (ATBDP_POST_TYPE == $post_type)) {
7.         ?>
8.         <fieldset class="inline-edit-col-right" style="margin-top: 0;">

29.     if (!is_admin()) {
30.         return;
31.     }
32.  
33.     if (get_post_type($post_id) !== ATBDP_POST_TYPE) {
34.         return;
35.     }
36.  
37.     // if our current user can't edit this post, bail
38.     if (!current_user_can('edit_posts')) {
39.         return;
40.     }
41.  
42.     // Make sure that it is set.
43.     if (isset($_REQUEST['never_expire']) && !empty($_REQUEST['never_expire'])) {
44.         update_post_meta($post_id, '_never_expire', sanitize_text_field($_REQUEST['never_expire']));
45.     }
46.  
47.     if (isset($_REQUEST['expiry_date']) && !empty($_REQUEST['expiry_date'])) {
48.         update_post_meta($post_id, '_expiry_date', sanitize_text_field($_REQUEST['expiry_date']));
49.         update_post_meta($post_id, '_never_expire', 0);
50.     }
51. }
52.  
53. add_action('admin_footer', function(){
54. ?>
55.     <script>
56.         jQuery(document).ready(function($){
57.             $('.misc-pub-atbdp-never-expires input[name="never_expire"]').change(function(){
58.                 if( $(this).is(":checked") ){
59.                     $('.misc-pub-atbdp-never-expires .atbdp_expiry_date').hide();
60.                     $('.misc-pub-atbdp-never-expires input[name="expiry_date"]').val('');
61.                 }else{
62.                     $('.misc-pub-atbdp-never-expires .atbdp_expiry_date').show();
63.                 }
64.             });
