Problem:
error 500 when cred updated to 2.21 on wprdpress 5
Solution:
User somehow do not able to update the plugins correctly. To resolve this issue, delete the existing Toolset plugins and upload it manually using the plugins page.
Problem: I would like to loop over several posts and display information from each post, including the URL of each file in a repeating file field.
Solution: Set up the View to display the proper posts, then add a wpv-for-each shortcode to loop over the repeating field. Make sure your slugs are matched up inside the wpv-for-each.
Problem:
A form to publish posts is supposed to show the published post after submission, but does not redirect.
Solution:
The issue was that a redirect delay was included in the form, and a bug meant that anything other than a delay of zero broke the redirection.
The user wanted to create a parametric search for users.
Solution:
Users cannot have a parametric search. So what I would recommend that once the users are created then they are allowed to create a Profile with all the required information that can be filtered.
This way you can filter for their profiles rather than the actual user.
Problem: I would like to add custom validation to a Form that tests to see if any other post has the same custom field value. If so, an error should be displayed.
Solution: Use the Forms validation API to query posts by meta key and value:
add_filter( 'cred_form_validate', 'require_unique_doc_num_validation', 10, 2 );
function require_unique_doc_num_validation( $data, $form_data ) {
$forms = array( 63, 456 ); // a comma-separated list of form IDs you want to validate
$post_type_slug = 'document-master-list'; // your document cpt slug
$field_slug = 'document-number'; // the field slug of the unique number from wp-admin
$error_message = 'Unique document number is required'; // the error message you want to display
// you should not edit anything below this line
list($fields,$errors)=$data;
if ( in_array( $form_data['id'], $forms ) ) {
if ( !isset($fields['wpcf-' . $field_slug]['value'])) {
$errors[$field_slug] = $error_message;
} else {
$doc_args = array(
'post_type' => $post_type_slug,
'numberposts' => -1,
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'wpcf-' . $field_slug,
'value' => $fields['wpcf-' . $field_slug]['value']
)
),
);
$matching_docs = get_posts( $doc_args );
if ( count($matching_docs) > 0 ) {
$errors[$field_slug] = $error_message;
}
}
}
$data =array($fields,$errors);
return $data;
}
Problem:
How to add a form to publish child posts to a form that publishes parent posts?
Solution:
In HTML you cannot nest forms.
The expected workflow would be something like a form to publish the parent CPTs is inserted on one page, which displays the post after submission.
The template for that post type includes a link to an edit form for the post, and also includes the form to add child posts (either directly, or linking to the form).
