Hello,

I have a Cred form with the following elements :

    	<div class="form-group">
		<label>Date début stage</label>
		[cred_field field="date-debut-stage" force_type="field" class="form-control" output="bootstrap"]
	</div>

	<div class="form-group">
		<label>Lieu du stage</label>
      [cred_field field='@salle-product.parent' class='form-control' output='bootstrap' select_text='Choix de la salle' value='']
	</div>

'date-debut-stage' is a date field
'salle" is a textfield

I'm trying to setup a snippet with a cred_save_data to rewrite the post title after submission.

The salle-product is a types relationship (a salle could have several products)
I need to use the date format 'd,m,Y' in the title for the date and the title of the salle.

I have tried this :

$date_debut = $_POST['date-debut-stage'];
$datedeb = date('d,m,Y',$date_debut);
$lieu = toolset_get_related_post( $post_id, array( 'salle', 'product' ) );

but this is not working. Can you indicate how I could get the need info?

Thanks
Pat

Hi, here are a couple of things to check.

1. Types fields have a wpcf- prefix, so you should update this line:

$date_debut = $_POST['wpcf-date-debut-stage'];

2. The form contains the parent post select field, so there's no need to use the API to get the parent post's ID. You can find the post ID in the $_POST object like this:

//$lieu = toolset_get_related_post( $post_id, array( 'salle', 'product' ) );
$lieu = $_POST['@salle-product.parent'];

I think the date formatting part looks okay. Try these two updates and let me know if the problem is not resolved.

Hi Christian,

Many thanks. All is working fine with this.
I'm currently moving to your relationship feature and I need to continue to learn on it !!
