This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to automatically copy an address custom field value into another textarea custom field when the post is saved.
Solution: It depends on whether the post is saved with CRED or if the post is saved in wp-admin. If CRED, you can use the cred_save_data hook:
add_action('cred_save_data', 'copy_location_to_multiline_field',10,2);
function copy_location_to_multiline_field($post_id, $form_data)
{
// if a specific form
if ($form_data['id']==12345)
{
if (isset($_POST['wpcf-location']))
{
// add it to saved post meta
update_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-multiline', $_POST['wpcf-location']);
}
}
}
Replace 12345 with the CRED form ID, and replace 'wpcf-location' and 'wpcf-multiline' with the correct field slugs. Add the 'wpcf-' prefix to the slug shown in wp-admin for each field.
If they are created in wp-admin, you can use the save_post hook:
add_action( 'save_post', 'copy_location_to_multiline_field_admin', 100, 3 );
function copy_location_to_multiline_field_admin( $post_id, $post, $update ) {
if ( $post->post_status == 'publish' && $post->post_type == 'cptslug' ) {
$location = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-location', true);
update_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-multiline', $location );
}
}
Replace 'cptslug' with the slug of the post type where you have your address field, and replace 'wpcf-location' and 'wpcf-multiline' with the correct field slugs. Add the 'wpcf-' prefix to the slug shown in wp-admin for each field.
