This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have a CRED form that allows users to clone a post by clicking the "Submit" button. This works, but I want the post's URL to change. I want the URL to be the same as the original post, but I want to append "-" and the post ID at the end.
Solution: Use the cred_save_data hook to modify the post after it's created. Tweak the slug, update the post, and copy any postmeta over into the duplicated post.
add_action('cred_save_data_22086', 'duplicate_post', 10, 2);
function duplicate_post($post_id, $form_data) {
// get data of original post
$post = get_post( $_POST['wpcf-container_id'] );
$orig_slug = $post->post_name;
$orig_id = $post->ID;
$pos = strpos( $orig_slug, '-' . $orig_id);
if ( $pos > -1 ) {
// the -ID is part of the slug, so we need to get rid of that
$orig_slug = substr( $orig_slug, 0, $pos);
}
$new_slug = $orig_slug . '-' . $post_id;
// update the new post ID and slug
$post->ID = $post_id;
$post->post_name = $new_slug;
wp_update_post( $post );
// get fields of original post
$fields = get_post_custom( $_POST['wpcf-container_id'] );
// update the new post with these fields
foreach ($fields as $key => $values) {
foreach ($values as $value) {
add_post_meta($post_id, $key, $value, false);
}
}
}
