Hi,
I am creating a CRED form to add posts of a CPT called "Books".
The form works perfectly fine. except that I can't find a "post slug" field.
I need to be able to adjust some of my post slugs.
I tried the following codes, but none of them worked:

<div class="form-group">
		<label>[wpml-string context='cred-form-new books-15973' name='Slug']Slug[/wpml-string]</label>
		[cred_field field='post_name' post='book' value='' urlparam='' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']
	</div>

<div class="form-group">
		<label>[wpml-string context='cred-form-new books-15973' name='Slug']Slug[/wpml-string]</label>
		[cred_field field='post_slug' post='book' value='' urlparam='' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']
	</div>

<div class="form-group">
		<label>[wpml-string context='cred-form-new books-15973' name='Slug']Slug[/wpml-string]</label>
		[cred_field field='slug' post='book' value='' urlparam='' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']
	</div>

can you please help?

thanks

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - I would like to know you want to adjust post slugs while creating new posts your using CRED edit form while editing your post?

Hi,
yes I want to adjust the slug while creating a new post. this form is to create new posts, not to edit current posts.
thanks.

Ok fine - thanks for clarification.

You need to use CRED hook cred_save_data in order to rename the slug for newly added post.

For example - you should adjust the below code as per your need to build your custom slug (post_name):

add_action("cred_save_data", "my_save_data_action",10,2);
function my_save_data_action($post_id, $form_data)
{   
  
global $current_user;
  
    // if a specific form
    if ($form_data["id"]==9999)
    {
    
                 $username = $current_user->user_nicename;
         $date = get_the_date(); 
  
        $title = $username."--".$date;
             
            // Update the post into the database
            $my_post = array(
                'ID'           => $post_id,
                'post_title' => $title,
                'post_name' => $title
 
            );
            wp_update_post( $my_post ); 
         
    }
}

Where:
- Replace 9999 with your original CRED form ID
