    Hello Sir,

    First I want to thank you Sir,
    This is my first topic on this forum.

    Am using your plugin since many weeks.
    Its a boon for my beginner mind, to use such a great and intuitive plugin.

    I browsed whole WordPress plugin repository and found best plugin.
    Its a Robust plugin on WordPress.

    Sir I want to make default entries in advert add form.
    Ex: Contact information like email, user name, phone number.

    And I have made some custom fields, which my users want fill only one time.

    1. User shouldn’t enter phone number every time.
    2. User shouldn’t enter custom fields every time.

    THANKS

    Hi, you can set default values for email and phone number fields by adding the code below to your theme functions.php file

    
add_filter( "adverts_form_bind", "set_defaults_in_adverts_add", 10, 2 );
function set_defaults_in_adverts_add( $form, $data ) {
    $current_user_id = get_current_user_id();

    if( ! $current_user_id ) {
        return $form;
    }

    if( adverts_request( "adverts_email", null ) === null ) {
        $form->set_value( "adverts_email", wp_get_current_user()->user_email );
    }

    if( adverts_request( "adverts_phone", null ) === null ) {
        $form->set_value( "adverts_phone", get_user_meta( $current_user_id,'phone_number',true ) );
    }

    // more default values here ...

    return $form;
}

    To set values for some custom fields as well you would need to use the $form->set_value(...); function on them as i did in the code snippet.

    Hi Sir,
    Now checked everything once again both { Contact Person } and { Phone Number } is not showing default value everytime.

    Only { Email } is displaying.

    1. the phone number will be automatically filled only if n the user profile you are storing the phone number in user meta field named phone_number. Out of box WP does not save phone_number in wp-admin / Users panel so you need to first add it there.

    2. to fill the contact name you can add inside the function i pasted in last message this code

    
    if( adverts_request( "adverts_person", null ) === null ) {
        $form->set_value( "adverts_person", wp_get_current_user()->display_name );
    }

    3. creating autocomplete and suggestions in the search form is waaay beyond the free support offered here i am afraid, if you need this you will need to hire some developer to do that for you.

    wp_get_current_user

    For custom fields also I have to assign this function(wp_get_current_user)???

    No, for custom fields you should use get_user_meta( ), please see the WP Codex for more information
