Problem:
The client has related posts whereby child posts may be authored by different users than the parent post. The child post authors should be notified whenever the parent post is edited.
Problem: I have a CRED form that allows users to clone a post by clicking the "Submit" button. This works, but I want the post's URL to change. I want the URL to be the same as the original post, but I want to append "-" and the post ID at the end.
Solution: Use the cred_save_data hook to modify the post after it's created. Tweak the slug, update the post, and copy any postmeta over into the duplicated post.
add_action('cred_save_data_22086', 'duplicate_post', 10, 2);
function duplicate_post($post_id, $form_data) {
// get data of original post
$post = get_post( $_POST['wpcf-container_id'] );
$orig_slug = $post->post_name;
$orig_id = $post->ID;
$pos = strpos( $orig_slug, '-' . $orig_id);
if ( $pos > -1 ) {
// the -ID is part of the slug, so we need to get rid of that
$orig_slug = substr( $orig_slug, 0, $pos);
}
$new_slug = $orig_slug . '-' . $post_id;
// update the new post ID and slug
$post->ID = $post_id;
$post->post_name = $new_slug;
wp_update_post( $post );
// get fields of original post
$fields = get_post_custom( $_POST['wpcf-container_id'] );
// update the new post with these fields
foreach ($fields as $key => $values) {
foreach ($values as $value) {
add_post_meta($post_id, $key, $value, false);
}
}
}
