Hi,

how can I automatic set the Post Title as a Custom Fields Concatenation?

For example:
Post Title = post_id + ' : ' + my_custom_field_lastname + ' ' + my_custom_field_name + ' ' + my_custom_field_role
Post title = "12 : Black Jack Manager"

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I would like to know when you want to generate dynamic post title usinng the custom fields value - is it using Toolset form? If yes:
- You can use the Toolset Form's hook "cred_save_data" to generate the dynamic post title based on your custom fields.

For example - You can add the above custom code to "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/

add_action('cred_save_data','func_custom_post_title',10,2);
function func_custom_post_title($post_id,$form_data) {
    if ($form_data['id']==9999) {
        $name = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-name', true);
        $email = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-email', true);
        $title= $name. '-' . $email;
        $args = array('ID' => $post_id, 'post_title' => $title);
        wp_update_post($args);
    }
}

Where:
- Replace 9999 with your original form ID.
- And adjust the code as required.

Hi Minesh,

thank you for you reply.
I mean in admin, when you add a new custom type item.
for example:
I've a Custom Type "MyUser" with 3 Custom Fields (Number, Name, Lastname).
When I add a new "MyUser" I type Number (034), Name (John), Lastname (green) and I need that the "post title" is filled in automatic with "034 - John Green".

I don't know if I'm clear....

Hi Minesh,

thank you for you reply.

I mean in wordpress admin... when i add a new "custom type" record.
For example:
I've a "custom type" called "MyUsers" with 3 "custom type fields": myuser_number, myuser_name, myuser_lastname
When I add a new "MyUser" I need that the "post title" is automatic filled with the concatenation of this 3 custom fields.
myuser_number : 034
myuser_name : John
myuser_lastname : Green
post_title : 034 - John Green

I don't know if I'm clear...

That means you want to generate the post title when you save/publish post on backend.

For that, you will require to uses the WordPress standard hook: save_post

Please check the following related ticket where I shared the related solution. You may have to change the code as per your requirement:
