[Resolved] Trying to access relationship value when saving CRED form..

I have 2 CPTs:
* Student Profile
* Grades

I have a Post Form that uses a relationship between the 2 CPTs above.
It allows people with the Manager role to enter a grade for a student.

In the form, the student is selected using this:
<div class="form-group col-md-12">
<label>Student's Name</label>
[cred_field field='@profile-grade.parent' class='form-control' output='bootstrap' select_text='Select Student Name...']
</div>

That grade, once entered by a manager, SHOULD be saved having the Student as author.

Its title should be made up of the first/last name of the student + 2 more fields .

The code I have so far is this:

// Form to add grades from the My Admin page for Managers
if ($form_data['id']==826)
{

list($fields,$errors)=$form_data; // I forget why I use this, but seems required!! 🙂

//uncomment this if you want to print the field values
//print_r($fields);

// Replace the source below with the
$first_name = get_the_author_meta('user_firstname'); // Needs to be from Parent post
$last_name = get_the_author_meta('user_lastname'); // Needs to be from Parent post
$session = $_POST['wpcf-session'];
$year = $_POST['wpcf-year'];
// $my_author = new WP_Query('author');

//$parent_post_id = $_POST['@relationship-slug_parent'];
//$parent_author_id = get_post_field ('post_author', $parent_post_id);

$my_post = array(
'ID' => $post_id, //?????
// 'post_author' => $parent_author_id,
'post_author' => $profile_id,
'post_title' => $last_name . ', ' . $first_name . "-" . $session . "-" . $year,
'post_name' => $last_name . ', ' . $first_name . "-" . $session . "-" . $year
);

wp_update_post( $my_post );
}
}

add_action('cred_save_data', 'gg_save_data_action', 999, 2);

So, my goal is to capture the First/Lastname values from the Profile CPT in the relationship, as well as the profile’s author, in order to save this new grade entered by a manager.

How do I access the profile CPT from functions.php?

I hope the above makes sense?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

As I understand "Student Profile" is your parent post type and you want to get the fields/title of your parent post type "Student Profile" when you submit the form for the post type "Grades".

If this is correct - as the parent field is added to your form:

[cred_field field='@profile-grade.parent' class='form-control' output='bootstrap' select_text='Select Student Name...']

So, you can access the selected parent (student) using the following line of code:

$parent_post_id = $_POST['@profile-grade_parent'];

Now, based on the $parent_post_id you should try to get the parent field information and get the value and adjust your code to build the post title.

I hope this is clear and please let me know if you will require further assistance.

Please correct me if I misunderstood your query.

I think you understood. I'm back at it now, trying to work it out 🙂

The goal is to extract the proper details to save a post, which ar the Profile owner, first and last name.

Profile owner to save this current post as THEM.
The first-last name I use in the title..

I got it done! Woohoo!

Thanks for that Minesh 🙂
