    Hi

    First of all thanks for this great plugin. I am using a form to create entries for a CPT. On this form I have 2 actions:
    – first is Create user
    – second is Create post

    I am unable to affect the newly created post to author created on first action.

    Any help would be appreciated
    Greg

    Hello,

    Thanks for the feedback. You have to set an “Action name” in your “Create: User Action”. For example: my-user-action. Then, enable the “Query Var” setting.

    Once you’ve done that, you’ll able to set the previously created user as post author in your “Post Action” using the following template tag: {query_var:my-user-action:ID}

    Here is a screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/WT2V8jy.png

    Please refer to the “Cheatsheet” tab for a list of template tags.

    Have a nice day!

    Regards.

    Hello,

    Thanks for you quick answer. I follow your step by step and get well user and post created but no author is set for the new post.

    Here is the screenshot https://imgur.com/a/0vTGTt6

    Not sure this is related but I get Notice: Array to string conversion in wp-content/plugins/acf-extended/includes/modules/form/admin.php on line 2916
    on form submit

    Do I miss something?

    ACF version 5.8.9
    ACFE version 0.8.5.5

    Thanks a lot

    Hello,

    Okay the problem come from the predefined template tag {query_var:my-user-action:id} which is available in the list. It should be {query_var:my-user-action:ID} (with capital ID).

    Go in the file /acf-extended/includes/modules/form/admin.php line:816, and replace the line:

    "{query_var:$alias:id}" => 'User ID',

    with:

    "{query_var:$alias:ID}" => 'User ID',

    Then refresh your form admin, and reset the Post Action author, to the correct {query_var:my-user-action:ID} like in this screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/ypteIdI.png

    I’ve added the fix in Trello, it will be patched in the next update.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Regards.
