[Gelöst] Need code to auto generate nice title

I am trying to: get my posts to have generated titles, rather than "CRED Auto Draft" or whatever it says.

I found this code which works somewhat:

add_filter('title_save_pre', 'my_title');
function my_title($title) {
    $title = date('YmdHis');
    return $title;
}

EXCEPT it also renames all of my forms with the same structure when I update them.

I would also like to make the slug of saved posts a unique random number- how would I go about that?

Cheers in anticipation of your help.

Hi Brad,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Could you try the hook in this link below as well ?

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Shane

Sorry, as well as what I already have? I don't see that that is going to stop the renaming of my CRED forms etc?

Also, it doesn't appear to give the posts a unique random number as a slug either?

Third point which I forgot to mention: this needs to happen only to specific post types (ie. those created with toolset)

Hi Brad,

The posts on the frontend using CRED are they created using a post title? or is the post title generated after the post is saved.

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

The post title appears to be generated after the post is saved. There's no logical field to form the post title- although I guess the post date and one of the fields would be an acceptable title/slug.

How would I implement that?

Cheers,
Brad

Well, I ended up just getting it done myself anyway. Here's my code for anyone else who may need it:

//Better titles for forms
// =============================================================================
add_action("cred_save_data", "my_save_data_action",10,2);
function my_save_data_action($post_id, $form_data) {   
    // Enquiry form
    if ( $form_data["id"]==71 || $form_data["id"]==410 ) {
        if (isset($_POST["wpcf-vehicle-make"]) && isset($_POST["wpcf-vehicle-model"]) && isset($_POST["wpcf-year"]) ){
            //Get the regular post date
            $date_format = get_option('date_format');
            $date = get_the_date($date_format, $id);
            //Build the title & slug
            $title = $date." ".$_POST["wpcf-vehicle-make"]." ".$_POST["wpcf-vehicle-model"]." ".$_POST["wpcf-year"];
            $slug = sanitize_title($title);
            // Update the post into the database
            $my_post = array(
                'ID' => $post_id,
                'post_title' => $title,
                'post_name' => $slug
            );
            wp_update_post( $my_post ); 
        } 
    }
}
