Problem:
I have a Post Relationship (O2M) where a Toolset Post Form creating new M-Posts offers a Parent Post Selector where the user can set the O-Post to which the new post will belong to.
I want to retrieve the value of that Select2 in $_POST and use it in a cred_save_data() to populate other items with it.
How to go about it?
Solution:
A Select2 Parent Post Field in a Toolset Form, assuming a relationship between pages and posts (O2M) can be retrieved with
$_POST["@post-page_parent"]
Note that the HTML input name of the Select2 will have a dot as in
@post-page.parent
But the $_POST will listen to the key with an underscore instead of dot, as in @post-page_parent
So you can get the proper name of the $_POST Select2 input with this process:
- either open the console and find the HTML input name, replace the dot with an underscore and use that
- or, simply var_dump() the $_POST in the Form and see the precise name of all and every $_POST items
Problem:
I cannot add the class attribute to radio and other fields in forms.
What's the solution?
Solution:
You can set classes only to fields that render with simple HTML tags: Native Toolset form fields:
post title field, input textfield for flat taxonomies.
Types and Generic fields:
Single Line, Multiple Line, Date (only the main input, the dropdowns for hours and minutes do not add it), Number, URL, Select, the parent selector field.
To suggest adding the class attribute to other fields such as radio please submit your voice for the feature at https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/ mentioning you would like to see support for the class attribute on radios and checboxes in Form fields
The code above is the basic way to do a redirect based on the custom field value. What you need to do is to replace the 'wpcf-custom-field' with the slug of your custom field keeping the wpcf- prefix.
How do I filter a relationship in a front end form, by the post author?
Solution:
It is possible within Toolset form, for example, you can try these:
Edit the "Return" Post Form, find and edit the "Product Registration" relationship field, there is an option, enable option "Get only options by the current author"
