To make things clearer:

wordpress version:4.4.2
piklist version: 0.9.9.7

code used for empty post title:

add_filter('piklist_empty_post_title', 'my_new_title', 10, 2);
  function my_new_title($data, $post_array)
  {

    // Grab the new title from the custom field. Replace my_custom_field with your own
    $new_title = $post_array['_post_meta']['naam'][0];
	
print_r($post_array); // output
    die();
	

    // Only filter on your custom post type. Replace my_custom_cpt with your own.
    return $post_array['post_type'] == 'hond' ? $new_title : $post_array['post_title'];
  }	

output print:

Last time I did not ask you why this was happening, you told what but not the why. I need to understand the why.

Hello Steve,
Maybe I could use that…
Thinking and re-thinking…
Hope I can explain…
I have 2 cpt’s
1. Dogs
2. Litters
In the Dogs CPT all dogs are entered (bitches, dogs and pups with category male ore female
In the Litters cpt, create a new litter => Choose dam, from dogs-cpt, category female
Choose sire, from dogs-cpt, category male
These 2 form the parents.
Then below that the pups (children, need to be related to dam and sire, and are siblings. These pups are also coming from Dogs cpt- resp, female or male….

I can not find anywhere if when I use an add more the items chosen are directly related to the post.
New to all this but willing to learn 🙂
Hope you can follow me and if you can advise me on how to achieve this…

Thanks,
Irene

Hi Steve,
Thanks for all the trouble you took to help me out but[‘geregistreerde_naam’], is just what I used… So that can not be it. I have tried to change the name of the custom field but that did not help. I am going to reconstruct everything from base and maybe I will then find out what I did change/misspelled…
I will let you know what I found if you would like so…
Thanks,
Irene

I get just the first letter of the word!

Steve: 🙂
Thank you!!!!!
Got it! Now figure out the rest 🙂

Hallo Steve,
What I would like to do is:
Create a custom post type with show_ui => false with piklist (have already done that), create a new admin page (blanco) with menu on top level and create a custom edit post page for this cpt.
I would like to have the user post layout, tried using the user post at first but I just want to input dog names, b-day etc… for later use, no need for log-in, password, e-mail etc…

Recapitulating:

Is there is a way where i can create my own edit.php page from scratch for my custom post type with the use of Piklist?
I Understand I need to create a cpt and set show_ui to false and construct an interface for the CPT just as for an plugin admin page. But I do not understand how I can than refer to the cpt inside this admin page, make the metaboxes and workflow’s appear on this new admin page and save the meta data to the cpt….

Very Grateful if you could help me…

Irene

Hello Steve!
