Topic Tag: CRED API

Problem:
Add a condition in Cred save data function to check the radio button:
if it is set on "approve", then I update the post status from "1" to "2"
if it is set on "refuse", then I update the post status from "1" to "0"

Solution:
Please add this code in your theme’s or child theme’s functions.php file:

add_action('cred_save_data', 'prefix_cred_save_data', 10, 2);
function prefix_cred_save_data( $post_id, $form_data ){
    if ($form_data['id']==1158){ //do the following code only if the CRED form ID is 1158, adjust this to your CRED form ID
        if(isset($_POST['my-generic-field']) && $_POST['my-generic-field'] != '') { // If generic value is set
            $generic_field_value = $_POST['my-generic-field'] == 'approve' ? 1 : 0; // if generic value is approve then return 1 otherwise 0
        }
        else {
            $generic_field_value = 2; // If generic value is not set
        }
         
        update_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-etat-de-la-demande', $generic_field_value, true); // update custom field
             
    }
}

==> Look for the comments in the above code and change your Form ID, Custom Field slug, etc as needed.

Problem: I would like to capture the value from a generic field using cred_save_data, and store it in a custom field.

Solution: Add the following code to functions.php:

add_action('cred_save_data', 'sauver_responsable_projet',10,2);
function sauver_responsable_projet($post_id, $form_data)
{
    // if a specific form
    if ($form_data['id']==87)
    {
        if (isset($_POST['responsable-projet']))
        {
            update_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-responsable-projet', $_POST['responsable-projet'], true);
        }
    }
}

Create a generic field called 'responsable-projet' in your CRED form, and create a custom field called 'responsable-projet' in the post type associated with the CRED form.

Problem: I would like to use the cred_save_data hook to modify the title of the post using information from its parent posts. I can get the parent post IDs using _wpcf_belongs_slug_id, but I do not know how to get the title of those posts using the IDs.

Solution: Use the WordPress get_the_title() function to retrieve a post's title using the post's ID.

get_the_title($post_id);
