Problem:

I want to use a Toolset Form to edit the Menu Order value of posts, but I can't see a way to do this through the standard Toolset Form functionalities.

Solution:

Add a generic input to the form with the slug name the-order. Then, add custom code to the Toolset custom code section to update the Menu Order using cred_save_data action.

Sample code to get started:

add_action('cred_save_data', 'update_post_order', 10, 2);
function update_post_order($post_id, $form_data) {
    // Check if the correct form is being submitted
    if ($form_data['id'] == [YOUR_FORM_ID]) { // Replace [YOUR_FORM_ID] with the actual ID of your form
        if (isset($_POST['the-order'])) {
            $new_order = intval($_POST['the-order']); // Ensure the input is treated as an integer
 
            // Update the post order
            $args = array(
                'ID'         => $post_id,
                'menu_order' => $new_order
            );
            wp_update_post($args);
        }
    }
}

Problem:

Occasionally I need to use multiple templates for a post type but unless I specify that the template is the default for the single display, all the fields of that post type are not available to me.

Solution:

Please edit the content template, in option "View with:", find and select a specific post, and test again, see my screenshot view-with.jpg
