    I want to use a pods form to allow users to create/publish posts from the front end, but because the form is displayed on the front end, users cannot enter a post title. I’d like to have a required field on the form become the post title. What solution(s) would work for this?

  • I use this exact setup on my site to create the post title.

    reference here: https://docs.pods.io/code/filter-reference/pods_api_pre_save_pod_item_podname/

    I needed my pods field incident_number to be the post title and slug for the post.

    add_filter( 'pods_api_pre_save_pod_item_incident', 'slug_set_title', 10, 2);

function slug_set_title($pieces, $is_new_item) {
//only for a new post
	if(!$is_new_item){
		return;
	}

  //make sure that all 2 fields are active
  $fields = array( 'post_title', 'incident_number', 'pictometry_url');
  
  foreach( $fields as $field ) {

    if ( ! in_array( $field, $pieces[ 'fields_active'] ) ) {

      $pieces['fields_active'][] = $field;

    }
  }
  
  //set post title using pod field script
  $pieces[ 'object_fields' ][ 'post_title' ][ 'value' ] = $pieces[ 'fields' ][ 'incident_number' ][ 'value' ];
	
  //return $pieces to save
  return $pieces;
}
