Hi,

I have a custom post type. I have a CRED form to add posts to the custom post type. I'd like to automatically insert the publish date and username as the post title and post slug.

Thanks,
Eric

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

You can use "cred_save_data" hook to generate automated post title.

For example:

add_action("cred_save_data", "my_save_data_action",10,2);
function my_save_data_action($post_id, $form_data)
{   

global $current_user;

    // if a specific form
    if ($form_data["id"]==77)
    {
  
                 $username = $current_user->user_nicename;
		 $date = get_the_date(); 

        $title = $username."--".$date;
           
            // Update the post into the database
            $my_post = array(
                'ID'           => $post_id,
                'post_title' => $title
            );
            wp_update_post( $my_post ); 
       
    }
}

Where:
77 => Please replace "86" with your original form CRED ID.

Hope this helps and resolve your issue. Please let me know your feedback.

Thank you Minesh!

The title part works great! Can we also set the post slug at the same time? Currently it defaults to /auto-draft-(number). I'd like the slug to also use the username and date, kind of like /username-####-##-##

I'll look at your reference docs and see if I can figure it out. If I do I'll come back and mark as "resolved," but if not, let me know please.

Thanks again,
Eric

I've added "post_name" column that sets the slug for the post. Please try following code:

add_action("cred_save_data", "my_save_data_action",10,2);
function my_save_data_action($post_id, $form_data)
{   
 
global $current_user;
 
    // if a specific form
    if ($form_data["id"]==77)
    {
   
                 $username = $current_user->user_nicename;
         $date = get_the_date(); 
 
        $title = $username."--".$date;
            
            // Update the post into the database
            $my_post = array(
                'ID'           => $post_id,
                'post_title' => $title,
                'post_name' => $title

            );
            wp_update_post( $my_post ); 
        
    }
}

Where:
77 => Please replace "86" with your original form CRED ID.
