Hi there,

I'm trying to create a contact form that saves posts. Sort of like a in build ticketing system.

I'm using a drop down custom field with the title wpcf-post_title to set the title.

I'm using this code:

function set_custom_post_title( $args, $form_id, $form_data ) {
// Check if the form ID matches the desired form
if ( $form_id === 151341 ) {
// Get the value of the custom field 'wpcf-post_title' from the submitted form data
$custom_title = $form_data['fields']['wpcf-post_title'];

// Set the post title to the value of the custom field
$args['post_title'] = $custom_title;
}

return $args;
}
add_filter( 'cred_save_data', 'set_custom_post_title', 10, 3 );

But it seems to give me an error.

Could you point me in the right direction?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Can you please tell me what you setup as option value for your dropdown select where user can select the post title?

It would be great if you can share problem URL where you added the form and I will get back to you with the possible solution.

Hi Minesh,

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Thought we might ale to start with a screenshot.

The user is already logged in when submitting the form. The subject field decscription, rather than value would be great saved as the post title, maybe with their username next to it. For example; General Support - @username

Best regards
Kyle

You can use the Toolset Form's hook "cred_save_data" as given under:

For example:
- Please try to add the following code to "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/#adding-custom-php-code-using-toolset

add_action('cred_save_data', 'build_post_title', 10, 2);
function build_post_title($post_id, $form_data) {
 
if ($form_data['id']==9999) {
$title =$_POST['wpcf-post_title'];
$username = $_POST['wpcf-username'];
  
$post_title  =   $title .'- Support -'.$username;
$slug = sanitize_title($post_title);
wp_update_post(array('ID'=>$post_id, 'post_title'=>$post_title,'post_name' => $slug));
}
}

Where:
- Replace 9999 with your CRED form ID.
- Adjust the custom field slugs where required for post_title and username
