Hello

I wonder if that can be achieved with Cred.

I'm trying to do the same thing as described here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7375253/add-web-scraper-to-wordpress-site-similar-to-facebook-functionality

I have created a cred form for submitting a new content which contains the fields:

- Title
- Excerpt
- Featured Image
- External Url

So instead of filling all 4 fields manually, user can just paste the "External Url" then "title", "excerpt" and "featured image" will be retrieved and filled automatically.

Any advice?

Thanks

Dear Boris，

There isn't such a feature within CRED form, as that thread you mentioned above:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7375253/add-web-scraper-to-wordpress-site-similar-to-facebook-functionality
It requires custom codes, according to our Support Policy, we do not provide custom codes support:
https://toolset.com/toolset-support-policy/

So I suggest you check out our certified partners for it:

This ticket is now closed. If you're a WPML client and need related help, please open a new support ticket.
