[Resolved] Create CPT Title from CRED form (two fields)

[Author]

I have been on this for hours and cant seem to get the syntax right. I've read the forums and it hasn't helped.
I have a custom post type called "LittleChamps"
I have a CRED form "ID=87"
This form creates data for this CPT. There are two custom fields within this CPT called "first-name" and "surname".
Can you please give me the correct syntax for saving the TITLE of the CPT with the combination of "first-name" and "surname".
Example:
"jones-tom"

Thankyou in advance.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

CRED API offers you hooks to accomplish that:
"cred_save_data" hook:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/cred-api/#csd

Try to add following code to your current theme's functions.php file.

For example:

add_action('cred_save_data','custom_title', 10, 2);
function custom_title($post_id) {
// if a specific form
if ($form_data['id']==87)  {
    
        $fname= get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-first-name', true);
        $sname= get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-surname', true);
        $title = $fname."-". $sname;
        wp_update_post(array('ID' => $post_id, 'post_title' => $key));
    
}
}

I hope above solution will help you to resolve your issue.

Thanks for your prompt reply, but this doesn't seem to have worked. I still get "Auto Save" as the title of the post.

Sorry.

Please use following code - there is a typo and I forget to change variable name:

add_action('cred_save_data','custom_title', 10, 2);
function custom_title($post_id) {
// if a specific form
if ($form_data['id']==87)  {
     
        $fname= get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-first-name', true);
        $sname= get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-surname', true);
        $title = $fname."-". $sname;
        wp_update_post(array('ID' => $post_id, 'post_title' => $title ));
     
}
}

Aaargh!
I have added in your Version 2.0, but the result is the same.
Any ideas?

It's really strange.

Could you please share link of the page where you've added CRED form.

Let me debug on your install to fix this issue.

*** 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 would additionally need your permission to de- and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important. If you agree to this, please use the form fields I have enabled below to provide temporary access details (wp-admin and FTP).

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

I think you forget this:

Could you please check now:

we were missing $form_data argument to function. I've added following code to your functions.php file.

add_action('cred_save_data','custom_title', 10, 2);
function custom_title($post_id,$form_data) {

// if a specific form
if ($form_data['id']==87)  {
     
        $fname= get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-first-name', true);
        $sname= get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-surname', true);
	$title = $fname."-". $sname;

        wp_update_post(array('ID' => $post_id, 'post_title' => $title ));
     
}
}

I hope above solution will help you to resolve your issue.

Thanks so much. Great result. I didn't pick it up either.
