Post Data Title: generate from other field

Hi @follaky

I hope you are doing well.

We updated the field IDs so we also need to update the code a bit, can you try this version?

<?php

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'wpmudev_radio_field_auto_selection', 9999 );
function wpmudev_radio_field_auto_selection() {
	global $post;
	if ( is_a( $post, 'WP_Post' ) && !has_shortcode( $post->post_content, 'forminator_form' ) ) {
        return;
    }
	?>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
		setTimeout(function() {
			$('.forminator-custom-form').trigger('after.load.forminator');
		}, 1000);

		$(document).on('after.load.forminator', function(event, form_id) {
			if ( event.target.id == 'forminator-module-433' ) {
				let _title = $('input[name="postdata-1-post-title"]');
				_title.prop("readonly", true);

				let _text = $('input[name="text-1"]');

				$(_text).on("input", function() {
					_title.val( $(this).val() );
				});
			}
		});
	});
	</script>
	<?php
}

Please update the forminator-module-433 and replace the 433 to your form ID https://monosnap.com/file/JgPeElH29MBWMI9BjWErx7ibPgx9ui

Hi @wpmudevsupport12

Thanks for the code! What’s shown in your example is exactly what I’d need. I tried to add a snippet with the code provided (changing the ID to match my form), but it doesn’t seem to work:

Forminator Post Title from Text Field

As you can see, the text from {text-1} isn’t copied over to the post title. However, the new post is created as expected, I’m getting mail notifications and so on.

Am I missing an important point?

Thanks again!

Hi @follaky

Thanks for response!

I just tested this code on my own test site and it worked perfectly fine out of the box.

However, I tested it on a simple setup – with no other plugins active, a basic theme and very simple form. As far as I can see, your form is a bit more complex than mine and also a theme or other plugins (or even some JS optimization tools) may be coming in a way.

Could you check if you are getting any JS errors in browser console (“Ctrl + Shift + J” on Windows and “Cmd + Option + J” if you’re on Mac) when filling-in the form and if yes – let us know what are they?

Also, could you export the form itself and share it with us so we could test it?

To export the form:

– go to “Forminator -> Forms” page
– click on a little “gear” icon next to the form in question
– select “Export” options form the drop-down menu
– copy export code and put it on pastebin.com or your Google Drive/Dropbox/similar
– share direct (publicly accessible) link to it in response here.

Note: form export code will only contain form itself – will not include any submitted data (which we don’t need either).

Hello @follaky ,

We haven’t heard from you for over 2 weeks now, so it looks like you no longer need our assistance.

Feel free to re-open this ticket if needed.

Hi!

Sorry for delayed reply.

The problem was caused from a conflict with my page builder (Nicepage in my specific case). I had to modify the code like this and hope it isn’t unsafe to do it that way:

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'wpmudev_radio_field_auto_selection', 9999 );
function wpmudev_radio_field_auto_selection() {
    global $post;
    if ( is_a( $post, 'WP_Post' ) && !has_shortcode( $post->post_content, 'forminator_form' ) ) {
        return;
    }
    ?>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    (function($) {
        $.noConflict();
        $(document).ready(function() {
            setTimeout(function() {
                $('.forminator-custom-form').trigger('after.load.forminator');
            }, 1000);

            $(document).on('after.load.forminator', function(event, form_id) {
                if ( event.target.id == 'forminator-module-XXX' ) {
                    let _title = $('input[name="postdata-1-post-title"]');
                    _title.prop("readonly", true);

                    let _text = $('input[name="text-1"]');

                    $(_text).on("input", function() {
                        _title.val( $(this).val() );
                    });
                }
            });
        });
    })(jQuery);
    </script>
    <?php
}

Maybe this can help other people facing a similar issue.

Cheers

Hi @follaky

Thanks for updating us!

I think it should be fine as the data saved by the plugin is sanitized anyway.
