So, dear guys, I have implemented form wit have progress and data are saved in scope ‘user’.

Questions:
1) Need custom statues for record like draft, on pending, declined, and so on.

2) I need button in form “Submit for checking”, after pressing on it, record status changed to “on pending” and block any user edit.

3) Manu user fill up this form. And after saving first time (click button “save” on form), this recording will add to special table in admin panel (like showing posts, pages in wordpress admin) with default status “draft”.

Thanks a lot.

OK. And how to save fields ?

Steve, good afternoon!

I have one more questions:

1) I got the latest record for user via WP_Query, and also added ‘object_id’ => $post_id for each field in my front-end form.

And after I press submit button for saving data (like in /forms example), it creates new record for custom type, but not edit current record. What’s wrong with this ?

2) In which section and moment I should generate unique number(for my custom field, like unique ticket number) for new record ?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks.

I did this, Steve.

Look at this, please:
I have custom post type:

post_types['my_forms'] = array(
        'labels' => piklist('post_type_labels', 'Forms')
        ,'title' => 'My Forms'
        ,'public' => true
        ,'rewrite' => array(
                'slug' => 'my_forms'
            )
        ,'supports' => array(
            'title'
            ,'post-formats'
            )

        ,'capability_type' => 'post'
        ,'edit_columns' => array(
            'title' => 'Forms'
            , 'status' => 'Status'
            , 'author' => 'User'
            )

        ,'hide_meta_box' => array(
            'slug'
            ,'author'
            ,'revisions'
            ,'comments'
            ,'commentstatus'
            , 'wpseo_meta'
            )

        ,'status' => array(

            'new' => array(
                'label' => 'New'
            )
               ,'status_one' => array(
                    'label' => 'Status One'
                )

            ,'accepted' => array(
                    'label' => 'Accepted'
                )

            ,'declined' => array(
                    'label' => 'Declined'
                )
            )

        ,'form_step' => array(
                'step-1' => array(
                    'label' => 'Form 1'
                ),

                'step-2' => array(
                    'label' => 'Form 2'
                )
            )
        );

    return $post_types;

I have form code

$current_user = wp_get_current_user();

    $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'my_forms'
        , 'author'        =>  $current_user->ID
        , 'orderby'       =>  'post_date'
        , 'order' =>  'DESC'
        ,'posts_per_page' => 1
    );

    $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

    $post_id = '';
    while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) :
            $the_query->the_post();
            $post_id = get_the_ID();
    endwhile;

    echo $post_id;

    echo "<h4>Forms 1</h4>";

        piklist('field', array(
                'type' => 'hidden'
                ,'scope' => 'post'
                ,'field' => 'post_type'
                ,'value' => 'my_forms'
        ));

        piklist('field', array(
                'type' => 'hidden'
                ,'scope' => 'post'
                ,'field' => 'post_title'
                ,'value' => 'Form One'
        ));

        piklist('field', array(
               'type' => 'hidden'
                ,'scope' => 'post'
                ,'field' => 'post_name'
                ,'value' => 'form1'
        ));

        piklist('field', array(
                'type' => 'hidden'
                'scope' => 'post'
                ,'field' => 'post_status'
                ,'value' => 'status_one'
                ,'attributes' => array(
                        'wrapper_class' => 'post_status'
                    ),
            'object_id' => $post_id
        ));

        piklist('field', array(
                'type' => 'hidden'
                ,'scope' => 'post_meta'
                ,'field' => 'form_step'
                ,'value' => 'step-1'
        ));

        piklist('field', array(
                'type' => 'textarea'
                ,'scope' => 'post_meta'
                ,'field' => 'title-form-1'
                ,'label' => 'Name'
                ,'attributes' => array(
                    'placeholder' => 'Enter Name'
                    ,'rows' => 3
                    ,'cols' => 50
                    ,'class' => 'large-text',
                    'style' => 'width: 100%',
                    ),

                'object_id' => $post_id
        ));

        piklist('field', array(
                'type' => 'submit'
                ,'field' => 'submit'
                ,'value' => 'Save'
                ,'template' => 'submit'
                ,'attributes' => array(
                    'class' => 'button button-primary'
                )
        ));

1) I can’t catch: if I press button Submit, it creates new record each time. Please, provide me example of code. I don’t understand.

2) In which section and moment I should generate unique number(for my custom field, like unique ticket number) for new record ?
