Hi,

I use geodirectory with buddypress, and I would like that when users submit a listing, it is automatically assigned to the admin.

I saw a topic from 2018:

https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/auto-assign-author-of-listing/

which concerns exactly the same functionality for which you guys provided a snippet. However, I’ve tried this snippet and it doesn’t work anymore. Is it possible for you to help me out or point me in the right direction?

I’ll get a developer to have a look at your question after the weekend.
Thanks

Things work a bit different now so that old snippet likely wont work. The issue is that the post is saved several times, on the add listing page and then when submitted, and if a paid listing then it needs to belong to the user so the invoice is generated correctly and can be paid.

I don’t know your reasoning for this but knowing might help suggest a solution.

You could always set any GD listings to the admin ID on the post publish action, that might be a easy solution that would work for you?

Thanks,

Stiofan

Yes that suggestion would work. I am working on a community in which each member can add and edit places (I changed user role capabilities to let a certain role be able to edit other’s posts), so that information can stay up to date. When they add a listing, it should be assigned to the admin so that no one actually ‘owns’ a listing.

So for ‘gd_places’, I can use the post publish action? Where can I find documentation on this or where can I find this action?

Thanks Stiofan!

I know you guys are very busy, but I was wondering whether any progress has been made on this topic.

Hi,

Please try following PHP snippet.
```
/**
 * Set author to GD listing.
 */
function gd_snippet_190918_wp_insert_post_data( $data, $postarr ) {
	if ( ! empty( $data['post_type'] ) && $data['post_type'] != 'revision' && ! geodir_is_gd_post_type( $data['post_type'] ) ) {
		return $data;
	}

	if ( ! empty( $data['post_status'] ) && $data['post_status'] != 'auto-draft' ) {
		$data['post_author'] = 1;
	}

	return $data;
}
add_filter( 'wp_insert_post_data', 'gd_snippet_190918_wp_insert_post_data', 100, 2 );
```
Regards,
Kiran
