I am using the code below to get the ID of the parent post. However, each time I submit the form, the ID is shown as "0" ... which is incorrect.

//Create a dynamic post title by the CRED form. New listing.
add_action('cred_submit_complete','func_custom_post_title',10,2);
function func_custom_post_title($post_id,$form_data) {
    if ($form_data['id']==5268) {
        $make = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-listing-make', true);
        $model = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-listing-model', true);
		$dealer_id = toolset_get_related_post( $post_id, '$dealer-listing', 'parent' );
        $title= $make. ' ' .$model;
		$slugurl= $dealer_id. '-' .$make. '-' .$model. '-' .$post_id;
        $args = array('ID' => $post_id, 'post_title' => $title, 'post_name' => $slugurl);
        wp_update_post($args);
    }
}

How can I get the ID of the parent (Dealer) in the slug of the child (Listing) when I submit a new listing?

Thanks in advance!

You mean $post_id or $dealer_id is shown as 0?
You should var_dump() the variables and the data you use to build it so you can see why it's 0.

I think the slug of the toolset_get_related_post is wrong, it cannot be $dealer-listing
Slugs do not permit special signs like $
The example here should help you to get started with the Toolset API for Relationships:
https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/post-relationships-api/#toolset_get_related_post

$writer = toolset_get_related_post( $book_id, array( 'writer', 'book' ) );

As you see we have either an array of post types in the relationship or we pass it as a relationship slug (some-slug). Latter is to use when the relationship is not migrated but new.

Hence, you need to make sure your relationship is not an M2M and make sure you use the right Relationship URL in the code.
Then, if the post of $post_id has a related post, it'll return that ID - otherwise, 0.

Please let me know if with this the issue could be solved on your end!

Hi Beda.

I'm sorry, but that didn't help. I am not a programmer, so I don't understand what you explained.

I simply need to place the ID of the parent post (Dealer) into the slug when the cred form is submitted.

Here's the code i'm using. Can you please modify it to fix any errors I may have?

//Create a dynamic post title by the CRED form. New listing.
add_action('cred_submit_complete','func_custom_post_title',10,2);
function func_custom_post_title($post_id,$form_data) {
    if ($form_data['id']==5268) {
        $make = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-listing-make', true);
        $model = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-listing-model', true);
		$dealer_id = toolset_get_related_post( $post_id, 'dealer-listing', 'parent' );
		$title= $make. ' ' .$model;
		$slugurl= $dealer_id. '-' .$make. '-' .$model. '-' .$post_id;
        $args = array('ID' => $post_id, 'post_title' => $title, 'post_name' => $slugurl);
        wp_update_post($args);
    }
}

We do not modify or fix the code in the forum so it's ready to use, we explain this here https://toolset.com/toolset-support-policy/

I can help you build the code explaining the Toolset API and usage, as well as inform about generic use of PHP or the WordPress API, as above.

The 2 possibilities are to get the selected parent post ID from the select2 input in the form, or to get it with the Toolset Relationships API as you attempt in the code sample.

To get data when the form saves data and interact with it you can use the cred_save_data hook, to update the Post Title, you will need to apply the WordPress API wp_update_post(), and to get the related post as mentioned you can use the value set in the $_POST or per Toolset relationships API.
In case when working with the Toolset Relationships and API you should hook in when the form completed all operations, so you do it correctly at cred_submit_complete.

An example using cred_submit_complete and the relationships API, which will need to be adapated to your install:

//Hook our custom code to cred_submit_complete 
add_action('cred_submit_complete', 'ts_support_example',10,2);

function ts_support_example($post_id, $form_data)
{
    // if a specific form, change the form ID to which you want this code to apply to
    if ($form_data['id']==5)
    {
        
      //Get the ONE related post to the one we submitted. This works ONLY in a O2M relation
      $related_post = toolset_get_related_post( $post_id, 'page-post', 'parent' );

      //Join whatever values needed
      $title = "String " . $related_post; 

      //Few debug steps     
   		// var_dump($post_id);
   		// var_dump($related_post);
   		
      //Update our post with the WP API
      $my_post = array(
        'ID'           => $post_id,
        'post_title'   => $title,
  	  );
      wp_update_post( $my_post );
      
    }
}

This example works with a Page-Post One To Many Relationship. It will not work in a Many To Many relation or on the end of the "MANY" posts in the relationship

This code is a working example from a existing relationship, which you'd need to edit to match your relationship, and also eventually adapt the code.
If that does not work, I'll likely need a duplicate of the site to debug it locally, I attach below informations about how you can provide this.
