Hi Minesh

I've opened a new ticket as the last one I closed, however there is one last thing I need to do...

I need the custom field 'Adopted' of the CHILD whose child post ID you pass in the URL to become 'Yes' when the new PARENT is created.

I'm happy for you to use the same login details as before...

I really appreciate your help...I'm also learning at the same time!

I have added a screenshot from your notes from the previous post in case you don't remember:

Many thanks

Geoff

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Yes - I understand the code but when you mean by you need the custom field of the child post.

Do you mean that you want to save "Adopted" field value to parent post or child post?
If it's child post - its not saved?

Hi Minesh

Hope you've had a great weekend!

Yes that's what I mean..As the spy being saved at the time is the new PARENT I also need the CHILD custom field 'Adopted' to be filled and saved with 'Yes'... At the moment we just pass the CHILD ID..

Many thanks as always

Well - I've updated the code in functions.php file as given under.

add_action('cred_save_data','func_update_parent_field',10,2);
function func_update_parent_field($post_id,$form_data) {    
		if ($form_data['id']==2613) {       
				wp_update_post(array('ID' => $_REQUEST['child_post_id'],         'post_parent' => $post_id    ));    
				update_post_meta($_REQUEST['child_post_id'],'wpcf-adopted',$_POST['wpcf-adopted']);
		}
}

Could you please confirm it works as expected.
