Problem: I have a custom post type "Freelancers" that represents Users. Each User is the author of one Freelancer post. I also have Jobs and Offers as custom post types in a one-to-many post relationship where Jobs is the parent and Offers are the children. Freelancer Users can submit Offers to Jobs. In the Jobs post, I would like to display a list of Offers and a link to the Offer author's Freelancer post.
Solution: Use a nested View setup.
- Create a View of Offers using a post relationship filter, where the parent Job is set by the current post. Insert this View in the Job template.
- Create a View of Freelancer posts, filtered by post author, where the author is the same as the current post in the loop. In the loop output, insert a post link shortcode.
- Insert the View of Freelancer posts in the loop of the View of Offers.
Problem: I would like to automatically create a profile page for each new User who signs up with CRED.
Solution: You can use the cred_save_data API to automatically create a post after registration. Create a "Profile" post type, and add the following custom code to functions.php:
add_action('cred_save_data', 'ts_new_user_profile_action',10,2);
function ts_new_user_profile_action($user_id, $form_data)
{
// if a specific form
if ($form_data['id']==1234)
{
// Create post object
$my_post = array(
'post_title' => $_POST['first_name'] . ' ' . $_POST['last_name'],
'post_content' => '',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => $user_id,
'post_type' => 'profile'
);
// Insert the post into the database
wp_insert_post( $my_post );
}
}
Replace 1234 with the numeric ID of the CRED registration form, replace "profile" with the slug of the post type you want to create, and modify the post_title if you want the title of the post to be anything other than the new User's name.
Problem: I have added some custom code using the CRED API which should modify the notification email recipients list and include the parent post's author email address. It does not seem to be working.
Solution: Check the syntax and be sure your variables are correct. In this case the parent_post_author_id variable was not correctly identified with a $. The corrected code is:
