We are needing a way to extend/modify the existing field and view shortcodes.
Solution:
Toolset View/Types shortcodes are also registered with WP function add_shortcode(), so you can use WP built-in filter hook do_shortcode_tag to apply your custom codes
Problem: I would like Users to be able to choose certain posts as favorites. They should also be able to remove them from favorites.
Solution:
Create a repeating numeric field on your post type called "favorites". This field will be updated to add the current User's ID when they select a favorite. When they unfavorite a post, this field will be updated to remove their ID.
Create a CRED form that allows you to modify the posts that can be favorited. Remove all the content from the CRED form and replace it with the following code:
Problem: I would like to display a number from a custom field in my post with at least 3 digits. If necessary, I would like to pad the number with leading zeros.
Solution: Display the custom field using a custom shortcode. This shortcode will append leading zeros if necessary to the display without affecting the value stored in the database. This is helpful because it can be used in various places on the site and it does not break numeric sorting, calculations, or comparisons.
Problem: I would like to include a custom field value on my Project post type that begins at zero and is incremented for each new post. When I modify an existing post, I do not want the existing auto increment value to change.
Solution:
Use the "save_post" action to read the latest increment number, as well as any existing post increment number. If no increment number exists for the post, add to the latest increment number and insert that value in your custom field. If an increment number already exists, do not change it.
