Hello Team,

Any updates on this one?

Thanks!

Hello @wpmudev-support8,

Thank you for the response! I tried this solution and it kind of worked. So what happens now is that the code executes properly (images are properly uploaded, post is created), however, I receive an error when Submitting the form and hence the Form Redirect doesn’t work. The error messages are:

Error: Your form is not valid, please fix the errors!

And also:

Error saving Form. Failed to read uploaded file.

I tried the exact same code but with AJAX as an option for the Upload Method, form submits successfully (no error message & proper redirect) but the code doesn’t execute and therefore, no new post is created.

I also tried to play with the Behavior Settings and changed the “Method” from Ajax to Page reload, same issue but the page reloads.
Also, I tried to change the validation from On Submit to Server Side, still the same issue.

Hello @wpmudevsupport13,

Thanks for the reply! Are there any updates regarding this one?

Hello @wpmudevsupport14,

Thank you for the response. I tried your solution and I can confirm that the code now works as expected. You can consider this topic resolved and close it.

Thank you for all your support!

Hey @wpmudevsupport15,

Thank you for providing the resources. Unfortunately, after one week of struggling I couldn’t make it work using the provided code snipped. Below, I am providing more information about the ways that I tried and couldn’t achieve my goal:

I tried generating the uid using time() & uniqid() functions. I observed the following results:

$unique_id = uniqid();
$image_filename = $unique_id . '-' . $uploaded_image['name'];

The value of $image_path variable printed in the newly created post is:

image path: /var/www/html/wp-content/uploads/1694693112-Screenshot 2023-07-25 171253.png

However, in the /uploads directory, the file name got overwritten again and hence the same error messages were received:

/uploads$ ll -t
total 188

-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 2052 Sep 14 15:05  uk6YoNXPDZqV-Screenshot-2023-07-25-171253.png

So even the unique id generated by time() & uniqid() functions got overwritten from “1694693112-” to “uk6YoNXPDZqV-“.

I also tried to create a static name for the uploaded file, just for testing purposes and the results were the following:

$image_filename = 'test-file';

Error messages:

[14-Sep-2023 12:00:46 UTC] PHP Warning:  getimagesize(/var/www/html/wp-content/uploads/test-file): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/wp-includes/media.php on line 5307

So my question is: Is there a way to turn off the unique id prefix that Forminator appends to the front of each uploaded file, so I can generate it using other solutions that I can have control on? Whatever I do, Forminator always overwrites the filename with unique prefix + original filename.

Thank you in advance for your support, let me know if I can provide you more information if needed!

Hello Zafer,
Thank you for the swift response!
I tried the code with the modifications that you recommended

237 function create_post_with_image_and_redirect($form_id, $response) {
238     // Check if the form ID matches
239     if ($form_id == 761) {
240         // Get the uploaded image file
241         $uploaded_image = $_POST['upload-1'];
242
243         // Check if an image was uploaded
244         if (!empty($uploaded_image)) {
245             // Define the upload directory
246             $upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
247             $upload_path = $upload_dir['path'] . '/'. basename($uploaded_image);

However, I run into the following warning:

PHP Warning:  Undefined array key "upload-1" in /var/www/html/wp-content/themes/hello-elementor/functions.php on line 241

In addition, no new post was created from the form submission and also the image did not get uploaded to /var/www/html/wp-content/uploads.

Hello,

Thank you for the response!

I managed to resolve my issue with the following modified code:

add_action ( 'forminator_form_after_handle_submit', 'create_post_and_redirect', 10, 2 );
add_action( 'forminator_form_after_save_entry', 'create_post_and_redirect', 10, 2 );

function create_post_and_redirect($form_id, $response) {
    // Check if the form ID matches
    if ( $form_id == 761 ) {
        // Get the submitted textarea value
        $textarea_value = sanitize_text_field($_POST['textarea-1']);

        // Create a new post
        $post_data = array(
            'post_title'    => 'New Test Post',
            'post_content'  => $textarea_value,
            'post_status'   => 'publish',
            'post_type'     => 'post'
        );

        // Insert the post into the database
        $post_id = wp_insert_post($post_data);
    }
}

I also used the Forminator Settings that you previously showed me to fix the redirections, so now when I submit the Forminator Form, a new WordPress is being created with the content taken from the Form. Next, the users gets redirected to a page where he can see all Posts on the Website.

Thank you for your help, feel free to close this topic.

Hello @wpmudevsupport13

Thank you for the response!

Do you have any updates yet? One additional detail that I did not provide in my initial question is that the WordPress Theme that I used is: Hello Elementor
Also, I use a Docker environment (not sure if that will be useful to you).
