Hey guys, I’m trying to build a custom post title using ACF custom fields. I’m almost there. Code below.
The one area that’s holding me up is I’m grabbing the $location variable from a relationship field (location_relationship) to include in the slug string.
It should look like: /location-start-date-end-date. However, it’s returning /start-date-end-date on “Publish”. On “Update” it then adds /location- to the slug string.
Any ideas on what I should look into to get the location into the slug upon post publish?
Thank so much!
Josh
// Auto-populate post title with Event dates.
function loud_update_postdata( $value, $post_id, $field ) {
$date_start = strtotime(get_field('trip_departure_date', $post_id));
$date_end = strtotime(get_field('date', $post_id));
$location_relationship = get_field('location_relationship', $post_id);
$location = $location_relationship[0]->post_title;
if( $date_start == $date_end ) {
$start = date_i18n('M d Y', $date_start);
$title = $start;
} else {
$start = date_i18n('M d Y', $date_start);
$end = date_i18n('M d Y', $date_end);
$title = $location .' - '. $start .' - '. $end;
}
$slug = sanitize_title( $title );
$postdata = array(
'ID' => $post_id,
'post_title' => $title,
'post_type' => 'short_term_trips',
'post_name' => $slug
);
wp_update_post( $postdata );
return $value;
}
add_filter('acf/update_value/name=trip_departure_date', 'loud_update_postdata', 10, 3);
add_filter('acf/update_value/name=date', 'loud_update_postdata', 10, 3);
add_filter('acf/update_value/name=location_relationship', 'loud_update_postdata', 10, 3);
