This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have a Form that is used to create posts. I would like to schedule those posts for future publication, and I would like to set a custom post expiration date based on the future publication date. When the post expires, I would like to modify a custom field value.
Solution:
Add the following code to modify the publication date and post status:
add_action('cred_save_data', 'set_expiration_date',10,2);
function set_expiration_date($post_id, $form_data)
{
$forms = array( 35927 );
if (in_array($form_data['id'], $forms)) {
// update post publish date based on generic date field
$timestamp = $_POST['wpcf-user-note-expiration-date']['datepicker'];
$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $timestamp);
if(isset($timestamp)){
$args = array(
'ID' => $post_id,
);
wp_update_post( $args );
// update post expiration date based on generic date field and time calculation
$expiry_timestamp = $timestamp + ( 6 * 60 * 60 );
update_post_meta($post_id, '_cred_post_expiration_time', $expiry_timestamp );
}
}
}
Add this code to modify the custom field value when the post expires:
function my_custom_expire_actions($custom_actions, $post_id, $form_data) {
$custom_actions[] = array( 'meta_key' => 'wpcf-membership-type', 'meta_value' => 'Charter' );
return $custom_actions;
}
add_filter('cred_post_expiration_custom_actions', 'my_custom_expire_actions', 10, 3);
