Hi,
we would like to create a playlist-/collection-function similar to the one in youtube.

User should be able to
- add a post to an existing playlist OR
- create a new playlist and automatically add the post to this one.

For each task there is a CRED form shown besides each other, which should both be submitted with one same click (jquery).
The problem is, until actually CREATING the playlist, it doesn´t have an ID, which I could pass to the other form to tell, that the post is to be inserted in this playlist.

Maybe one could use the playlist-created-message to hide the second form there and actually by clicking OK create the playlist entry?
If yes: where do I find the ID of the newly created playlist in that moment?

Or do you see a better chance to do that?

THANK YOU, regards, Achim

Hi, there's no JavaScript API for Forms, so the best approach in this case is to use one Form and some custom code with the cred_save_data API. In the cred_save_data callback function, create a new playlist post programmatically using the wp_insert_post function. Then use the post relationships API toolset_connect_posts to connect the new playlist and new post.

Let me know if you have questions about this approach.

Oooh, this sounds quite complicated to me, as I am no real coder...
Maybe I will try that one time. This is a big wish, clear.

My issue is resolved for now. Thank you!
