Problem setting pod title from fields on save

Resolved

(@fortiernor)

Hi,

I need to set the post_title of new pods according to the value entered in other fields. I’ve used the technique described in:

https://docs.pods.io/code-snippets/create-post-title-from-fields-in-the-post-using-pods_api_pre_save/

The title text is generated correctly, however the last step, actually setting the post_title, does not seem to have any effect. The Pod in question does support “Title” (advanced options).

Code:

private function add_filters() {
        add_filter('pods_api_pre_save_pod_item_membre', array($this, 'set_member_title'), 10, 2);
    }
    public function set_member_title(
        array $pod_array, 
        bool $is_new_item) : array {
        
        if (!$is_new_item) {
            return $pod_array;
        }
        // get field values: ok
        $nom_perso = $this->get_custom_text_field_value($pod_array, 'nom_perso');
        $prenom_perso = $this->get_custom_text_field_value($pod_array, 'prenom_perso');
        $nom_org = $this->get_custom_text_field_value($pod_array, 'nom_org');
        
        $titre = '';
        if (!empty($nom_org)) {
            $titre = $nom_org;
        } else {
            $titre = $prenom_perso . ' ' . $nom_perso;
        }
        
        // debug: ok
        \aco\logging\log('titre: ' . $titre);
        
        if (!empty($titre)) {
            $pod_array['object_fields']['post_title']['value'] = $titre;
        }
        return $pod_array;
    }

Hey fortiernor,

You have to make sure post_title is an active field in the pod_array parameter, otherwise it is ignored. Something like this works for example.

add_filter( 'pods_api_pre_save_pod_item_member', 'set_member_title', 10, 2 );

function set_member_title( array $pod_array, bool $is_new_item ): array {

	if ( ! $is_new_item ) {
		return $pod_array;
	}

	// get field values: ok
	$name      = $pod_array['fields']['lastname']['value'];
	$firstname      = $pod_array['fields']['firstname']['value'];
	$org      = $pod_array['fields']['org']['value'];

	if ( ! empty( $org ) ) {
		$title = $org;
	} else {
		$title = $firstname . ' ' . $name;
	}

	//make sure that post_title is active
	if ( ! isset( $pod_array['fields_active'][ 'post_title' ] ) ) {
		$pod_array['fields_active'][] = 'post_title';
	}

	if ( ! empty( $title )) {
		$pod_array['object_fields']['post_title']['value'] = $title;
	}

	return $pod_array;
}
