Hello,
I have a front-end form for users to create listings. This works fine however the permalink for the listing is not generated automatically when the listing is created. I have to manually run the "Permalinks > Update Tables" script. See attached.
Is it possible to have the permalinks generate automatically when the user creates their listing? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Greg

Hi Greg,
By default the auto-populate functionality only works on CMSB admin pages, so on front-end user pages, you'll need to add some code to create and save the permalink. Luckily you can use the permalink_generate() function to create it based on your auto-populate rules. Here's its usage:
<?php
$permalinkText = permalink_generate($_REQUEST, $permalinkPrefix);
?>$permalinkPrefix is optional; if you do not use a prefix for your permalinks you can omit it. You can then save $permalinkText as the permalink field for the user's new listing.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks,
