Integrate with Post Expirator

The Toolset Community Forum is closed, for technical support questions, please head on to our Toolset Professional Support (for paid clients), with any pre-sale or admin question please contact us here.

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
Set Post Expirator value from CRED.
Solution:
To do this you will need to create a Date field in types and then add that Date field to CRED.

What you can do is to copy the value from the cred field to the _expiration_date custom field.

You can use our CRED Hook to do this. Have a look at the link below.

Then you can update the post meta with the following function.

I am trying to: Integrate CRED with the Post Expirator Plugin

My first thought was to access the hidden field used by Post Expirator and add to the CRED add post form but this failed to show anythibg(possibly because a new post that has not been saved ha no value for _expiration_Date).
My next thought wat to add my own custom field (Expiration Date) and prior to saving the post add a hook function to update the Post Expirator meta data with the value in my custom post. Does this sound like the right approach? Does anyone have an example of this?
