[Resolved] Creating parent and child post with parent form

Dear Toolset team,

I have on my website two CPT ‘aktivitat’ (this is Germany for activity) and ‘bewertung’ (this is German for rating). What I need is that the user can create in the same CRED form a new activity and also the rating for it. The relationship slug is ‘aktivitat-bewertung’.

For archieving this I used the following code which created both posts but in the ‘bewertung’ the parent is missing. Can you please check if my code is wrong?

function create_bewertung_post($post_id, $form_data) {

if ($form_data['id'] == 217) {

$bewertung_value = $_POST['wpcf-in-aktivitat-bewertung-a'];

$post_title = 'Bewertung für Aktivität: ' . get_the_title($post_id);

$new_post_args = array(
'post_title' => $post_title,
'post_status' => 'publish', // Veröffentlichten Beitrag erstellen
'post_type' => 'bewertung', // Post-Typ 'bewertung'
);

$new_post_id = wp_insert_post($new_post_args);

if (!is_wp_error($new_post_id)) {

update_post_meta($new_post_id, 'wpcf-aktivitat-bewertung-a', $bewertung_value);

update_post_meta($new_post_id, 'aktivitat-bewertung_parent', $post_id);
}
}
}
add_action('cred_submit_complete', 'create_bewertung_post', 10, 2);

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

To connect the related post can use the Toolset post-relationship API hook:

It seems that you have "aktivitat" setup as parent post type and "bewertung" is setup as child post type.

The form with ID "217" seems to setup to create/update "aktivitat" post type post where you are using the hook "cred_submit_complete" to create a child post "bewertung" and you want to connect the child post with parent post.

What if you try to use the following code - You may try to add the following code to "Custom Code" section:
- https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/#benefits-of-adding-custom-code-using-toolset

function create_bewertung_post($post_id, $form_data) {

if ($form_data['id'] == 217) {

$bewertung_value = $_POST['wpcf-in-aktivitat-bewertung-a'];

$post_title = 'Bewertung für Aktivität: ' . get_the_title($post_id);

$new_post_args = array(
'post_title' => $post_title,
'post_status' => 'publish', // Veröffentlichten Beitrag erstellen
'post_type' => 'bewertung', // Post-Typ 'bewertung'
);

$new_post_id = wp_insert_post($new_post_args);

if (!is_wp_error($new_post_id)) {

update_post_meta($new_post_id, 'wpcf-in-aktivitat-bewertung-a', $bewertung_value);

///connecting parent with child
toolset_connect_posts( 'aktivitat-bewertung', $post_id, $new_post_id );

}
}
}
add_action('cred_submit_complete', 'create_bewertung_post', 10, 2);

Hi Minesh,

this is working, thanks. I also modified the code that now also the field ‘wpcf-bewertung-a' from CPT ‘bewertung’ is updated, see the modified code here:

function create_bewertung_post($post_id, $form_data) {

if ($form_data['id'] == 186) {

$bewertung_value = $_POST['wpcf-in-beitrag-bewertung-a'];

$post_title = 'Bewertung für Aktivität: ' . get_the_title($post_id);

$new_post_args = array(
'post_title' => $post_title,
'post_status' => 'publish', // Veröffentlichten Beitrag erstellen
'post_type' => 'bewertung', // Post-Typ 'bewertung'
);

$new_post_id = wp_insert_post($new_post_args);

if (!is_wp_error($new_post_id)) {

update_post_meta($new_post_id, 'wpcf-in-beitrag-bewertung-a', $bewertung_value);

///connecting parent with child
toolset_connect_posts( 'post-bewertung', $post_id, $new_post_id );

// Kopieren des Feldwerts
$bewertung_a = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-in-beitrag-bewertung-a', true);
update_post_meta($new_post_id, 'wpcf-bewertung-a', $bewertung_a);

}
}
}
add_action('cred_submit_complete', 'create_bewertung_post', 10, 2);

What unfortunately not working is, that when a user creates a ‘bewertung’ (in English a rating) with the CRED form ‘186’ which is for activity posts, the fields 'wpcf-bewertung-aktivitat-a-ds' and 'wpcf-bewertung-aktivitat-a-ttl' of the parent post are not upated. When I submit a ‘bewertung’ with the CRED form ‘320’ which is for directly create ‘bewertung’ then the mentioned fields get updated thanks to the code

function update_posta_review($post_id, $form_data) {
// if specific form, change ID to the CRED "bewertung" ID
if ($form_data['id'] == 320) {
// Get ID of aktivitaten Being Reviewed
$parent_post = $_POST['@post-bewertung_parent'];

$aktivitaten = toolset_get_related_posts($parent_post, 'post-bewertung', 'parent', 999, 0, array(), 'post_object', 'child');

$sum = 0;
$num = 0;
foreach ($aktivitaten as $aktivitat) {
$bewertungen = get_post_meta($aktivitat->ID, 'wpcf-bewertung-a', true);
if ($bewertungen) {
$sum += $bewertungen;
$num++;
}
}
$average = ($num > 0) ? $sum / $num : 0;

// Rundung auf die nächste Zehntelstelle (0,1)
$res = round($average, 1);

update_post_meta($parent_post, 'wpcf-bewertung-aktivitat-a-ds', $res);
update_post_meta($parent_post, 'wpcf-bewertung-aktivitat-a-ttl', $num);
}
}
add_action('cred_submit_complete', 'update_posta_review', 10, 2);

Is there something I can do, that the fields 'wpcf-bewertung-aktivitat-a-ds' and 'wpcf-bewertung-aktivitat-a-ttl' of the parent post are always updated regardless which CRED form I used.

Best whishes
Andreas
