[Resolved] Connecting RFG to parent programmatically

[Author]

I have a use case where I can't allow user to select parent in the RFG form itself, so I have to do it programmatically.
I am using cred_save_data and toolset_connect_posts to do it.

Parent ( parent post - It's a user proxy) is only for every user and there is a RFG child which can be multiple. Now I have added the add RFG from in a view where I have queried for the posts of logged in user(author) . I get it's parent ID, from there and try passing it using forms hidden field like this :

````````````
Hidden Form
Slug : parent-id
Default : [wpv-post-id]

`````````````

The code that I am using is:

add_action('cred_save_data', 'my_save_data_action', 5, 2);

function my_save_data_action($post_id, $form_data)
{
    if ($form_data['id'] == 1515) {
		$parent_id = $_POST['wpcf-parent-id'];
		toolset_connect_posts( array('parent','child'), $parent_id, $post_id );
	}
}

Every time I submit this post I get an error saying "This website is having some technical difficulties".

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

What if you try to add your RFG slug with the following line of code - does that help:

 toolset_connect_posts( 'repeating-field-group-slug', $parent_id, $post_id );

If no, I need problem URL where you added the form as well as access details.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Can you please share access details for user who has parent role which I can use.

Hey Minesh,

Any update on this?

I've added the following code to "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset:
=> hidden link

add_action('cred_save_data', 'func_set_parent_to_rfg_entry', 5, 2);
function func_set_parent_to_rfg_entry($post_id, $form_data) {
	global $current_user;
    if ($form_data['id'] == 1515) {
      
      	 $args = array(
        'post_type'      => 'parent',
        'author'         => $current_user->ID,
        'status'         => 'publish',
        'posts_per_page' => 1
        );
                       $parent_post = get_posts( $args );
                     foreach($parent_post as $parent){
                              $parent_id = $parent->ID;
                            toolset_connect_posts('child', $parent_id, $post_id );
                      }
      }
}

Now, I see once you add a child entry, it will automatically find the parent post ID based on the loggedin user ID (author) and connect that ID as a parent.
