This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to use CRED to create a post. In that CRED form, I would like to include a checkbox that the user can check to make this a "sticky" post. If the checkbox is not checked, the post should not be "sticky".
Solution:
You need to add a generic "checkbox" field to this form. Give it a name like "stick-post" and save the value "1" when it's checked. See the attached screenshot.
Then, update this code to work with this new checkbox field's slug and form ID:
add_action('cred_save_data', 'custom_set_sticky_post',10,2);
function custom_set_sticky_post($post_id, $form_data)
{
//update this with your form ID
if ($form_data['id']==12345)
{
if (isset($_POST['stick-post']) && $_POST['stick-post']==1)
{
stick_post($post_id);
}
}
}

if (isset($_POST['stick-post']) && $_POST['stick-post']==1)
Finally make sure you have set the correct CRED form ID here:
//update this with your form ID if ($form_data['id']==12)
That should give you the ability to make a new post sticky. If you create another CRED form that edits this post, you will need additional custom code to determine whether or not the sticky checkbox should be checked when the form loads. You will also need additional custom code to "unstick" a previously sticky post if the User unchecks the sticky box.
