Hi,
I would like to generate a title when submitting a form. A static text, and the post ID.
Like this: Form number: 1009
*****
I have tried using this code:
function my_save_data_action($post_id, $form_data){
// Change your CRED Form "ID" accordingly below
if ($form_data['id']==1179){
//Declare the content of your variables, change "your_custom_field_slug" accordingly
$custom_title = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-bh-1', true );
//collect data and define new title
$my_post = array(
'ID' => $post_id,
'post_title' => $custom_title,
'post_name' => $custom_title,
);
// Update the post into the database
wp_update_post( $my_post );
}
}
add_action('cred_save_data', 'my_save_data_action',10,2);
***
I am able to pull the value from that custom field, but I have no ide how to make a static text and how to pull the post ID into this form and render page.
Hello,
Please elaborate the questions with more details:

What kind of static text do you need?
You can get the post ID value from variable $post_id, it is the post ID value.
Hi Luo,
I will try to explain better.
I have made a form for frontend posting. The form does not have a field to create a title, because this title should not be typed in by user but generated from wordpress / toolset
The generated title should be the word: Form number:, and then the ID of the post created.
Like this: Form number 10023
****
1: The title field is not visible in form
2: The generated title is visible in single post view, archive and others.

I was hoping a minor tweek to this approach could solve this.

Thanks for the details, you can modify this line from:
$custom_title = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-bh-1', true );
To:
$custom_title = 'Form number ' . $post_id;
And test again.
Great, it now works!
My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
