The customer asked how the 'wpt_field_options' filter can be used to dynamically generate a long and alphabetically ordered list of options for a select type field.
Solution:
Shared some details and a code snippet example to show how this filter can be used to generate options from a custom post type:
add_filter( 'wpt_field_options', 'func_to_dynamically_populate_shop_locations', 10, 3);
function func_to_dynamically_populate_shop_locations( $options, $title, $type ){
switch( $title ){
case 'Book Shop Locations':
$options = array();
// add first empty value
$options[] = array('#value' => '', '#title' => '---');
// get all tmna-location post items
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'shop-location', 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'post_status' => 'publish','orderby' => 'title' );
$results = get_posts( $args );
if ( $results ) {
foreach ( $results as $post ) {
$options[] = array('#value' => $post->ID, '#title' => $post->post_title);
}
}
break;
}
return $options;
}
Problem:
Set post author dynamically as current loggedin user when you submit the toolset form and generate post title
Solution:
You can use the Toolset Form's hook "cred_save_data" to set the post author and generate the post title dynamically after you submit the form.
Solution:
Toolset follows the WordPress standards and it does stores the custom fields values you created using Toolset Types plugin to the postmeta table.
Solution:
User wants to order the posts based on custom field. He has added the default value for custom field but adding default value does not reflect to database as it will be only get saved when you save/update the post.
