Problem: I would like to use a custom shortcode to supply the value for my View's custom field filter but it doesn't seem to be filtering as expected.
Solution: Both the custom shortcode and the shortcode attribute must be added to the View shortcode in order for the Query Filter to respond to the dynamic value.
Problem:
limit parent drop down by author on Toolset child form with parent field
Solution:
You can use the attribute author="$current" so that the select dropdown only includes parent posts authored by the current user for your parent dropdown select.
I'm using the 'cred_before_save_data' hook to update several values for related posts prior to the update taking place. The hook does not appear to be firing as those values are not updating when the form is submitted.
Problem: I would like to know how to calculate values based on Form submissions, and update values in related posts. For example, I will have a Products post type that includes an inventory count custom field to store the quantity of inventory on hand. When someone submits a transaction to purchase a Product, I want to update the inventory count to reflect the number of remaining inventory.
Solution: Use the Forms API cred_save_data to hook into a Form submission, inspect the custom field values, calculate the correct new values, and save the updated values on the corresponding Product.
