Title: Adding Fields Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Adding Fields * [dlopeman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlopeman/) * (@dlopeman) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-fields/) * I’m finding it rather difficult to add fields to functions.php for P2. * Really, all I want to do is add a TITLE input… So users can put a title on their posting. I see that P2 figures out the TITLE for you. * I also saw the other post where someone makes it the first line in your post. This isn’t good enough for me. I don’t want to have to “teach” my subscribers anything! It’s also funny to me that the title function in P2 checks to see if your post is a IMAGE or VIDEO… when you don’t have the capability to upload either!!( well, I do, now… but not in P2 Original) * Once I can figure this out, I want to have other fields, too. * Hmmmmmm – I just thought of something while typing this… I removed the TAGs fields… I would if I can figure it out by looking at that……..

I now have a TITLE field. * Wow – so what did I do… holy moly – let’s see………… * I hope CutNPaste work good here! * So first: /inc/p2.js * function newPost(trigger) { var thisForm = $(trigger.target); var thisFormElements = $(‘#posttext, #tags, **#my_title**, :input’,thisForm).not(‘input[type=hidden]’); var submitProgress = thisForm.find(‘span.progress’); var posttext = $.trim($(‘# posttext’).val()); * if(jQuery(‘.no-posts’)) jQuery(‘.no-posts’).hide(); * if (“” == posttext) { $(“label#posttext_error”).text(‘All fields are required’). show().focus(); return false; } **var my_title = $.trim($(‘#my_title’).val()); if (“” == my_title) { $(“label#posttext_error”).text(‘You need to add a TITLE’). show().focus(); return false; } toggleUpdates(‘unewposts’); if (typeof ajaxCheckPosts! = “undefined”) ajaxCheckPosts.abort(); $(“label#posttext_error”).hide(); * thisFormElements.attr(‘disabled’, true); thisFormElements.addClass(‘disabled’); * submitProgress.show(); var tags = $(‘#tags’).val(); if (tags == p2txt.tagit) tags = ”; var args = {action: ‘prologue_new_post’, _ajax_post:nonce, posttext: posttext, **my_title: my_title**, tags: tags}; var errorMessage = ”; $.ajax({ type: “POST”, url: ajaxUrl, data: args, success: function(result) { if (“0” = = result) errorMessage = p2txt.not_posted_error; * $(‘#posttext’).val(”); **$(‘#my_title’).val(”);** $(‘#tags’).val(p2txt.tagit); * Thread Starter [dlopeman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlopeman/) * (@dlopeman) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-fields/#post-1251855) * Well – every where you see “my_title” * I also did the functions.php and added stuff: * ``` function prologue_new_post() { if( 'POST' != $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] || empty( $_POST['action'] ) || $_POST['action'] != 'prologue_new_post' ) { die(); } if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) { die('

'); } if( !current_user_can( 'publish_posts' ) ) { die('

'.__('Error: not allowed to post.', 'p2').'

'); } check_ajax_referer( 'ajaxnonce', '_ajax_post' ); $user_id = $current_user->user_id; $post_content = $_POST['posttext']; $post_title = trim( $_POST['my_title'] ); //$tags = trim( $_POST['tags'] ); //if ( $tags == __('Tag it', 'p2') || $tags == 'Tag it' ) $tags = ''; //$post_title = prologue_title_from_content( $post_content ); $post_id = wp_insert_post( array( 'post_author' => $user_id, 'post_title' => $post_title, 'post_content' => $post_content, 'post_status' => 'publish' ) ); echo $post_id? $post_id : '0'; exit; } ``` * There’s only one line here. And Comment out the part where it’s derived from the Content… * OH, I disabled TAGs, BTW… so be sure you uncomment that above if you want it… I may have deleted some lines, too… * Make a BACKUP!! * Thread Starter [dlopeman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlopeman/) * (@dlopeman) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-fields/#post-1251856) * Don’t you love when people solve their own crap!?!?!

I began this post in the P2 Theme area and I assumed ( and you know what they say about those who assume) it would post to the same “ current” location by default. * Not very intuitive, IMHO… * Is there a moderator who can move this to the right location? * Thread Starter [dlopeman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlopeman/) * (@dlopeman) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-fields/#post-1251865) * ok – weird, still… I’m in this: [http://wordpress.org/tags/p2](http://wordpress.org/tags/p2) * and I see my post there… as a tag??… * This whole concept of tags is strange to me, which is why I removed TAGs from my P2 themed site! HAHA * Thread Starter [dlopeman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlopeman/) * (@dlopeman) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-fields/#post-1251874) * well – back to the topic – even if it IS in the wrong place (which probably because I actually ADDED tags…) * Be sure to limit the number of characters. P2 already had for the other function, because it would strip 40 characters off the $content… Well – I’ll figure out how to apply that to my mods. * It’s something I wanted to do to the content, too, anyway!!! I don’t need long- winded descriptions of the women drinking beer pix!!! * If you are curious, then join in the fun!
