Problem:
Client has created a custom shortcode to set the default value for a custom date field in a Toolset Form, but it is not allowing for the time zone.
Solution:
An updated shortcode to show the current date/time adjusted for the time zone that can be used to set the default value of a date field is:
add_shortcode( "now", function(){
// get UTC offset for current WP timezone
$offset = get_option('gmt_offset');
return time() + $offset * 60 * 60;
});
Problem:
How to pre-select a taxonomy term in a post form?
Solution:
For custom fields you can preselect the value using the value attribute of the cred_field shortcode, but it doesn't work for taxonomies.
The client uses JS to automatically check one of the checkboxes. They wanted to get the value to be checked from the taxonomy assigned to the post where this form is displayed, i.e. using the wpv-post-taxonomy shortcode, but shortcodes are not expanded when adding code to the custom JS box.
That can be solved by including the JS in script tags within the form editor, like so:
Problem: I would like to automatically set a post's featured image using the first image in a repeating custom image field.
Solution:
You can use the cred_save_data hook to check the repeating images and get the attachment ID of the first one, then assign that image ID to the _thumbnail_id attribute of the post to set it as the featured image.
Change 123, 456 to be a comma-separated list of Form IDs where you want to apply this code. Then change rept-img to match your repeating image field slug.
Problem: I would like to use Views to display a list of WooCommerce Orders, the Products in each Order, and the prices and quantities of each Product.
Solution: You can use Views to create a list of Orders and the Products in each Order, but prices and quantities of each Product will require custom code.
Problem: I would like to modify the roles associated with a new User when a Form is submitted.
Solution:
Use the cred_save_data API to modify the User's roles.
add_action('cred_save_data', 'my_save_data_action',10,2);
function my_save_data_action($post_id, $form_data)
{
// if a specific form
if ($form_data['id']==290)
{
$current_user_id = $post_id;
$current_user_data = get_userdata( $post_id );
$oldroles = $current_user_data->roles; //here should be just one, as it is the first time you edit this user and it is only one-role
if( !is_array($oldroles) ) {
$oldroles = array($oldroles);
}
//Add new role after you remove old role
$u = new WP_User( $post_id );
foreach( $oldroles as $oldrole ) {
$u->remove_role( $oldrole );
}
$newrole = $_REQUEST['user_select_role'];
$u->add_role( $newrole );
}
}
