This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The issue here is that the user wanted to automatically send notification to his parent cpt.
Solution:
What you can do is to create a cpt called Jobs, and Job Application.
Set the Job CPT as the Parent of the Job Application. Now on the Jobs CPT you can create an email field so that the recruiter can post a Job and the email that the Job applications should be sent to.
Then Create a CRED form for your Job Applications and then add the CRED form child post link to your Jobs, if you are using a content template then you can simply just add the child post form link to the there.
On your child post form you can add a generic field like this.
[cred_generic_field field='parent-email' type='email' class='parent-field-replacement' urlparam='']
{
"required":0,
"validate_format":0,
"persist":1,
"default":""
}
[/cred_generic_field]
Then create a notification for this field in CRED.
Finally you will need to add this hook to your functions.php which will copy the Email from the Parent Job into the child post being created so that the notification will be sent to the person who created the job.
add_action('cred_before_save_data', 'my_before_save_data_action',10,1);
function my_before_save_data_action($form_data)
{
// if a specific form
if ($form_data['id']==2981)
{
if(isset($_POST['_wpcf_belongs_job_id']) and $_POST['_wpcf_belongs_job_id']!=""){
$parent_post_id = $_POST['_wpcf_belongs_job_id'];
$x = get_post_meta($parent_post_id,'wpcf-job-email',true);
$_POST['parent-email'] = $x;
}
}
}
In the code above I create 3 things: 1. CPT called Jobs with the slug job, you can see i'm getting the ID of the parent Job by referencing is with "_wpcf_belongs_job_id" If you're using a different slug you will need to replace all instance of "_wpcf_belongs_job_id" with "_wpcf_belongs_{parent-cpt_slug}_id" where you will replace the {parent-cpt_slug} with the slug of your CPT
2. I made a custom field on the Job CPT called "Job Email" which gets a slug "job-email". I referenced this field with "wpcf-job-email". In your case when you create the field you will reference it by add the "wpcf-" prefix to the slug and replaceing all instances of "wpcf-job-email"
3. Finally I made the generic field "parent-email". If you use the generic field code that I sent then you can leave this as is.

Hi Shane,
sorry if I was unclear, I will give you more details.
Here is what I am trying to do
NB : I set up a relationship where CPT "Offres d'emploi" (jobs) is parent and "réponses offres" (applications) is child.
1- When candidates click on a specific job they should see the job details and see an apply button (postuler)
Jobs are listed on this page : hidden link using a view called "recherche emploi" and I have a content template for the job details called "Modèle pour Offres d'emploi"
--> This works fine
2- when candidates click on apply/postuler, they access another page with the job name (post name) they want to apply and their resume or a link to their resume is automatically embedded in the application form. They simply have to click the submit button to send their application.
I used a CRED form called "Repondre-a-offre" to apply. It is displayed on page hidden link.
Candidates can create a resume using a CRED form called "Publier_candidature" linked to the CPT "candidatures".
--> This does not work : I don't know how to get the parent post name + this candidates' resume on the application form
3- the job author (recruiter) is notified by email and he can see the application
I added the following in my child post to get the parent email
[cred_generic_field field='parent-email' type='email' class='parent-field-replacement' urlparam='']
{
"required":0,
"validate_format":0,
"persist":1,
"default":""
}
[/cred_generic_field]
and I also added this code you provided in my functions.php file :
add_action('cred_before_save_data', 'my_before_save_data_action',10,1);
function my_before_save_data_action($form_data)
{
// if a specific form
if ($form_data['id']==2981)
{
if(isset($_POST['_wpcf_belongs_job_id']) and $_POST['_wpcf_belongs_job_id']!=""){
$parent_post_id = $_POST['_wpcf_belongs_job_id'];
$x = get_post_meta($parent_post_id,'wpcf-job-email',true);
$_POST['parent-email'] = $x;
}
}
}
--> This does not work, I only have the code shown on the page (see file attached) and the parent post author (recruiter) receives nothing.
4- I would need the number of resumes to be limited to one per candidate. I tried your suggested plugin (hidden link) with no success. Would you have another solution.
Thanks in advance for your help
Eric
