[Resolved] Create Post Title Using Submitted Field Data

We are developing a commercial photography scheduling and media delivery portal using Toolset. For scheduling, we have a form that logged-in users can submit to create a new task. This new task is a Custom Post Type with custom fields, setup using toolset.

Our form contains two fields, Model Name and Community Name. We would like for the name of the created post to be derived from the data entered into these two fields. For instance, the user enters "Radford" into the Model Name field, and "River Creek" into the Community Name field. When the custom post is created, it would have a title generated as "Radford at River Creek".

Is there a way to do this with through Toolset? Thanks!

Hi Brad,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

It is actually possible by using a Toolset forms hook.

add_action('cred_save_data','func_custom_post_title',10,2);
function func_custom_post_title($post_id,$form_data) {
if ($form_data['id']==XXXX) {
$field_1 = $_POST['wpcf-field-slug-1']
$field_2 = $_POST['wpcf-field-slug-2']
$args = array('ID' => $post_id, 'post_title' => $field_1.' '.$field_2);
wp_update_post($args);
}
}

The code above should be able to get this done for you. What you need to do is to replace the 'wpcf-field-slug-1' with the slug of your custom field keeping the wpcf- prefix.

Next just change XXXX to the ID of the form that you are using.

You can add the code to our Toolset custom code section in Toolset->Settings->custom code.

Just add the code and activate it.

Thanks,
Shane

Hey Shane, getting an error. Did I mention I'm not a developer? Heh, I will probably eventually figure this out, but in case you guys answer before I do, here's the error:

[2019-04-25 22:39:58, admin] syntax error, unexpected '$field_2' (T_VARIABLE) in /home/cmpadm/public_html/wp-content/toolset-customizations/task_form_title.php on line 14

Here's the code, line 14 is where $field_2 starts:

<?php
/**
* New custom code snippet (replace this with snippet description).
*/

toolset_snippet_security_check() or die( 'Direct access is not allowed' );

// Put the code of your snippet below this comment.

add_action('cred_save_data','func_custom_post_title',10,2);
function func_custom_post_title($post_id,$form_data) {
if ($form_data['id']==108) {
$field_1 = $_POST['wpcf-vmtasks_modelname']
$field_2 = $_POST['wpcf-vmtasks_community']
$args = array('ID' => $post_id, 'post_title' => $field_1.' '.$field_2);
wp_update_post($args);
}
}
