function change_post( $post, $feed, $entry, $form){
$post['post_content'] = 'This is a test';
return $post;
}
Change the post slug
This example uses merge tags to change the post slug which is taken from the post_name property. This time we have limited the scope of the snippet to form id 1 by adding the form id to the filter name.
add_filter( 'gform_advancedpostcreation_post_1', function ( $post, $feed, $entry, $form ) {
$slug = '{first name:1.3} {last name:1.6} {date:2:year}-{date:2:month}';
$post['post_name'] = sanitize_title( GFCommon::replace_variables( $slug, $form, $entry, false, false, false, 'text' ) );
return $post;
}, 10, 4 );
Change the post excerpt
This examples uses a specific paragraph field to be written to the post excerpt. Be sure to change your code to match the field id which you are using for inputting the excerpt.
add_filter( 'gform_advancedpostcreation_post', 'change_post_excerpt', 10, 4 );
function change_post_excerpt( $post, $feed, $entry, $form){
$post['post_excerpt'] = rgar( $entry, 6 ); // Field 6 is the Excerpt
return $post;
}
