Problem: How can I use repeatable fields and other fields in the same post CRED form?
Solution: It's not currently possible to edit a post's fields and repeating fields in the same CRED form. Instead, you must create a separate form just for the repeating field group.
Problem: I have a new User CRED form that allows guests to register. When they submit the form, I would like to automatically create a custom post that includes information from the form, and I would like to restrict access to that post to the created member only.
Solution: 1. Create a Custom Post Entry for "Band Name" on Member Registration.
This can be accomplished with a bit of custom code using the cred_save_data API.
add_action('cred_save_data', 'my_save_data_action',10,2);
function my_save_data_action($post_id, $form_data)
{
if ($form_data['id']==1234)
{
$my_post = array(
'post_title' => $_POST['some_custom_input'],
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => $post_id,
'post_type' => 'band-post-type-slug'
);
// Insert the post into the database
wp_insert_post( $my_post );
}
}
1234 should be changed to match the numeric ID of your User CRED form, and 'some_custom_input' should be changed to match the name of an input containing the data you would like to use in the Band post title. The data in the $my_post array can be modified according to the wp_insert_post documentation.
2. Only allow the registered Member edit his own Band Page.
In the code I provided above, I have configured the new post's author to be automatically set to the User that was just created during registration. Once this registration form is up and running, you should be able to use Access post and form restrictions based on the post Author (Member can edit own vs Member can edit any).
Solution:
User were using the the wrong funtion to fetch the child posts. You need to usee the Types post-relationship API function toolset_get_related_posts() and wrap with the shortcode.
The issue here is that the user had a Parametric Search view, but wanted to show their sponsored events at the top.
Solution:
It is possible to have 2 views that are controlled by the same filters
This will allow for both views to be filtered.
Ok so what you need to do is select the view that you want to have the filters.
So you will create the search filters in that view.
Secondly on the view that you want to allow the filters to work on you are going to manually add the query filters to that view.
The easiest way to do this is to add the same set of frontend filters to the view and then remove them from the editor section. This will cause the actual query filters to remain. Save your view and then add both views to the same page.
Problem: I would like to organize my Users by Company, and allow the Users in a Company to edit the Company post using Forms.
Solution: Use a User proxy post type or a repeating custom field to link Users and Companies, then use conditional HTML to show and hide the Edit Company Form based on those values.
Problem: I have a custom post type called Companies with a repeating field group (RFG) called Company Locations. One of the fields in that RFG is an address field. On the Companies WordPress Archive page, I would like to show a Map with Markers for of all the Company Location posts. I would like to filter the Companies archive by a field in the RFG, and I would like to show a custom field from the parent Company in the marker popup.
Solution: It's not currently possible to filter a View of a CPT by fields on its RFGs.
To access custom fields from the Company post in a View of the RFG, use the item attribute in the shortcode with the syntax "@relationship-slug.parent".
Problem:
How to add a link to a map marker which will open up the same map in Google Maps itself (for a larger map) and still display a marker in the same location?
Solution:
Output the Types address field as part of a google URL in a format like so:
<a href='https://www.google.com/maps/place/[types field='street-address'][/types]'>View address on Google</a>
Problem: I have a repeating field group that contains address fields. I would like to show all the addresses on a map using markers, and I would also like to show the addresses as text. Some of the markers are not appearing on the map, and some addresses do not show up in text.
Solution: Check the custom field slugs, in this case a slug from a different custom field was used, causing problems.
