      How can I programatically set or change the permalink of a CPT that doesn’t support ‘title’? I don’t care to have the users mess with it. Right now it saves all the entries with the title ‘Auto Draft’ and the slug ‘auto-draft-{n}’

      Piklist has a filter, piklist_empty_post_title, that may help you. Check out this support ticket >

      Let us know if that helps.

      Well, that’s cool. I set the title to [user_login]-[time()] … but, the permalink is still auto-draft-{n} .. any way to hook it before the permalink gets created?

      This should work. Place it in your main plugin file or your themes functions.php file:

      add_filter('piklist_empty_post_title', 'my_empty_post_title', 10, 2);
function my_empty_post_title($data, $post_array)
{
  global $current_user;

  get_currentuserinfo();

  return $post_array['post_type'] == 'YOUR-POST-TYPE' ? $current_user->user_login . '-' . time() : $post_array['post_title'];
}

      That’s basically what I have, Steve.

      function set_cm_post_title($data, $post_array)
{
  if ($post_array['post_type'] == 'cm-post')
  { 
      //set the title to [user_login]_[time()]
      global $current_user;
      get_currentuserinfo();  
      
      $post_name = $current_user->user_login . '-' . time();
      
      return $post_name;
  }
  else
  {
    return $post_array['post_title'];
  }

}
add_filter('piklist_empty_post_title', 'set_cm_post_title', 10, 2);

      This changes the title, but, the slug in the permalink is still ‘auto-draft-{n}’

      @gospelnerd– It’s working fine for me… permalink is user_login-time.

      -Make sure all other custom code is disabled.
      -Disable ‘title’ in your supports parameter when registering post type.
      -Save your permalink structure again… just to flush them.

      Let me know if that helps.

      Aww.. sweet! It was the permalink flush I needed. Apparently just pressing ‘save’ on the Permalinks settings page didn’t do it? I had to change the link structure, then I just changed it back. Works now! Thanks again, Steve!

      Glad it worked! That’s one of my favorite Piklist filters… so awesome.
