Problem: I have a Form that creates new posts. I would like to automatically add a specific term to the new post using the Forms API, but the update_post_meta function isn't working as expected.
Solution: Try the wp_set_object_terms function with the Forms API cred_save_data:
Problem: I would like to add some custom validation to a Form with two custom date fields. I would like to validate it such that the start date is before the end date. How can I access the date value in the $error_fields parameter?
Solution: Use the following syntax to access the Unix timestamp for a datepicker field:
add_filter('cred_form_validate','start_end_date',10,2);
function start_end_date($error_fields, $form_data)
{
//field data are field values and errors
list($fields,$errors)=$error_fields;
...
$fields['wpcf-date-start']['value']['datepicker']
Problem: I would like to display more general map markers so my locations aren't public.
Solution: There is no accuracy setting on maps, so you can use two map markers instead. One marker should be the accurate address, and another marker can be a nearby, more generic address.
Problem: I am using the Real Estate reference site as an example. When creating a House post, I would like to select a State, then select a City from a list of Cities in that State.
Solution:
In wp-admin, there's no built-in way to do this. There is no "grandparent" post selection in post relationships, only parent selection. You could add the state abbreviation to each duplicate city post title:
City - "Kansas City, KS"
City - "Kansas City, MO"
In Forms, there is a more complex solution:
- Create a generic select field that includes an option for each State. The value of each option should be the State post ID. You can use a View of States to create the options for the generic field.
- Next create one generic select field for each State. Add options for each City in that State. You can use a View of Cities filtered by post relationship to create the options for the generic fields.
- Use Conditional Field Groups to show and hide the City select fields based on the selected State.
- Then capture the selected City post ID using the Forms API, and use the Post Relationships API to link the House and the City.
