Hey there!
Somehow i don’t get the „parse attributes“ to the URL.

I try this to build:
User can create a cpt via a form.
In the form the user should have the ability (field) to
Bring in a custom attribute to the cpt type url.

E.g. the custom post types url is hidden link
User decides to take 1234 as an url attribute
The url should be like
hidden link

Thanjs for your help

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - do you want to override the post-slug for the new post which is created using Types plugin.

So, for example:
- I'm creating a new post with title "This is my post" and for this the slug will be "this-is-my-post".

Do you want a way to override "this-is-my-post" to a custom value which user will input in custom field?

Hey minesh,

No actually i don’t want to change the slug or the title.

I just want to add an additional attribute to the url which the user defines via the form of the cpt.

Like this: "this-is-my-post/additional-attribute“

Thank you

No - there is no such feature exists.

That needs custom programming which is beyond the scope of our support policy, If you need custom programming for your project, please feel free to contact our certified partners.

hey minesh,

thanks for your reply.
1. But for what are the 'urlparam=' in the form fields shortcodes for? (screenshot)
2. When this is not possible - is there a way to check the title of the post is unique?
3. A user creates the cpt. can he secure his post type from user?
e.g. user B wants to see the cpt from user A. user B has to put in a code or password to see the post

Thanks for your help

1. But for what are the 'urlparam=' in the form fields shortcodes for? (screenshot)
==> The 'urlparam=' in forms fields is used to fill the values of fields using urlparam.

2. When this is not possible - is there a way to check the title of the post is unique?
I think you should check following link to check for duplicate post titleL
==> hidden link

3. A user creates the cpt. can he secure his post type from user?
e.g. user B wants to see the cpt from user A. user B has to put in a code or password to see the post
==> Do you mean private post? See following image: hidden link
