[Resolved] Post Form (CRED) Permalink

Tell us what you are trying to do?

I made a post form, I have a snippet to update the post title from the custom fields (title, name, surname).
Everythings works well, but the permalink still looks like this "specialiste_sps=cred-auto-draft-feb2e5fd3f52612416233352093c51ad"

Is it possible to make the permalink from custom fields?

I´ve read multiple support threads but couldn´t make it work.

I use this snippet for Post form:

add_action('cred_save_data','func_generate_automatic_post_title', 10, 3);
function func_generate_automatic_post_title($post_id,$form_data) {

if ($form_data['id']==4505 or $form_data['id']==4519) {

$types_fields = get_option('wpcf-fields');
$sps_titul = $types_fields['sps_titul']['data']['options'];

$all_opt = array();
foreach($sps_titul as $k=>$v):
$all_opt[$v['value']] = $v['title'];
endforeach;

$name = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-sps_jmeno', true);
$surname = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-sps_prijmeni', true);
$titul = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-sps_titul', true);
$title= $all_opt[$titul]." ".$name." ".$surname;
$args = array('ID' => $post_id, 'post_title' => $title);
wp_update_post($args);
}
}

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Thank you in advance!

Hi David,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Could you let me know what kind of field you are trying to get the post title from ?

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

the post title is made by the post form like this:

wpcf.sps_jmeno (text custom field), wpcf-sps_prijmeni (text custom field) and wpcf-sps_titul (select custom field)

It would be great if the permalink was made from the same fields as the post title, but if it gets the things complicated I would be ok just with the two text custom fields I mentioned above.

Thank you!

Regards

Hi David,

Could you try it simple like this at first then we go from there?

// Neutral Names Autogenerate Post Title
 
function func_generate_automatic_post_title( $post_id, $post ){
 
if ($form_data['id']==4505 or $form_data['id']==4519) {

 
  $name = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-sps_jmeno', true);

$args = array('ID' => $post_id, 'post_title' => $name);
wp_update_post($args);

        wp_update_post( $args );
 
  }
}
add_action( 'cred_save_data', 'func_generate_automatic_post_title', 30, 2 );
//

Try this and let me know if it works.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

Unfortunately, it doesn't.

I tested on demo (clone) site and when adding to functions.php:

Your PHP code changes were rolled back due to an error on line 30 of file wp-content/toolset-customizations/toolset-custom-code.php. Please fix and try saving again.

Cannot redeclare func_generate_automatic_post_title() (previously declared in wp-content/themes/SPSMv02/functions.php:73)

When adding as custom code snippet via Toolset:

"There has been a critical error on your website."

Hi David,

Could you mind allowing me to have admin access to the website so that I can work on this for you?

Please let me know the page where the form is located as well.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

I couldn't find the private message option in my response form.

This is for the test site on a different domain:

I have also one for the edit form and one I use for the administrator to be able to add this custom post as I didn't figure out how to make post titles from custom fields from the back-end as well. 🙂

Thank you!

David

Hi David,

Thank you for the patience,

The code below should provide a suitable example for you.

function func_generate_automatic_post_title( $post_id, $form_data ){
  
if ($form_data['id']==4505 or $form_data['id']==4519) {
 
  
  $name = sanitize_title( get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-sps_jmeno', true));
 
$args = array('ID' => $post_id, 'post_name' => $name);
wp_update_post($args);
   
  }
}
add_action( 'cred_save_data', 'func_generate_automatic_post_title', 30, 2 );

I've tested this and it works fine.

Thanks,
Shane

Thanks for the directions!
You saved me a lot of hours, much appreciated!

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!

Hey Shane,

Can I reopen the ticket?

I didn´t test it properly.

The code updates slug but now the post title is CRED Draft...

I need them both - post title from cred as well as slug from cred.

Thank you

David

Hi David,

Try it like this.

function func_generate_automatic_post_title( $post_id, $form_data ){
   
if ($form_data['id']==4505 or $form_data['id']==4519) {
  
 $surname = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-sps_prijmeni', true);
  $name = sanitize_title( get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-sps_jmeno', true));
  
$args = array('ID' => $post_id,'post_title'=>$surname 'post_name' => $name);
wp_update_post($args);
    
  }
}
add_action( 'cred_save_data', 'func_generate_automatic_post_title', 30, 2 );

This should serve as a suitable example for you.
