OK. I have created a post form OMREN Registration in post type OMRENS, (Check the test site). I have added 3 fields (Name and email ) are in the Post fields group and Civil ID under the User Field group. I don't know how to add the Civil Id field in the Post form. I can add only the two fields Name and Email.
From what I see, you have created the Civil ID as a user field, so, you can't add it to a Post Form. Instead, you can add it to a User Form.
Before going further, I suggest that we agree first on what is to be done. Can you explain why would you add the field to a Post Form? Can you elaborate more on what you intend to build?
I did not want to create a User form. We want all the fields in Post form. I have created Civil ID on the User Fields as per your advice before. I think it should be in the post fields. The idea is that I don't want the user to register two times using the same civil ID
The idea is that I don't want the user to register two times using the same civil ID
Users are created using User Forms. Posts are created using Post Forms.
The form that you have created in the test site is for creating new posts in the OMRENS post type hidden link
If you want to register new users, you need to create a User form. The Civil ID should be a user field, instead of a post field. Unless you want to have ONE post in OMRENS per Civil ID, in that case, we can manage it using a post field.
Check chapter 5 in our tutorial for building a membership site. hidden link

As soon as you build the User Form I'll check it and test the custom code to make the Civil ID unique.
No, I don't want a user form. I want only a post form. I don't want the users to have accounts on our website. I want them to post their details only.
Any update on this issue ?..
As you don't need to create users with unique Civil ID and what you are looking for is creating OMREN posts with unique Civil ID. I was able to prepare it on the test site with the following steps:
- Added a custom field Civil ID (with slug cid) to the post fields group.
- Added the field to the form.
- Added the following code as a custom code snippet in Toolset settings and activated it. hidden link
add_filter( 'cred_form_validate', 'uni_identifier' ,10,2);
function uni_identifier( $error_fields, $form_data) {
$unique_field = 'cid'; // Toolset uses the prefix 'wpcf-' at the database level
$cid = $_POST['wpcf-' . $unique_field]; // Gets value from form
$form_ids = array( 15 ); // Edit IDs of CRED forms
list( $fields,$errors ) = $error_fields;
if ( in_array($form_data['id'], $form_ids ) ) {
// Get existing posts with unique field
$args = array(
'meta_key' => 'wpcf-' . $unique_field,
'meta_value' => $cid,
'meta_compare' => '=' ,
);
$posts = get_posts( array( 'meta_query' => $args ) );
if ( count($posts) > 0 ) {
$errors[ $unique_field ] = $cid . ' is already in use.';
}
}
return array($fields,$errors);
};

I have tried it on your test site. When I enter any Number it shows (Already Exist).
I have also tried the code in my form. Same, but without an error message I am not able to click submit, the form is not loading.
Make sure that you use the correct field slug at line 3 and the correct form(s) IDs at line 5. If it still does not work, take a Duplicator copy, or an All In One Migration export and let me download it and work on it. Please exclude the uploads folder to reduce the size of the copy.

Let me know what form we are talking about and in what URL I can see it.
The code is correct. But the form does not include the form messages element. You need to add the following shortcode to the form:
[cred_field field='form_messages' class='alert alert-warning']

Then make sure that the custom code snippet is active. Check this screenshot hidden link
Hi Jamal,
Sorry for the late reply, We have changed the idea of the form to give the user account in our application. The scenario will be now :
the user will access using his Civil ID and card reader. and a hidden page should check from DB before access the application page.
If the user does not exist --> redirect him to the registration page.
if the user exists --> login him directly and redirects him to his profile.
How can I do that?
