Distinct Page Titles on Virtual Posts

    I set up virtual posts and it’s working great. The one question I have, however, is that the page title is always the name of the template page. How can I change it so the page title changes for each record I send to it (using a slug field in my airtable base)? For example, the page is https://domain.com/restaurants/eat-at-joes/ and I want the page title to be “Eat at Joe’s” instead of “Restaurant Template”. Is there a way to do that with the Virtual Posts option?

    Thanks! Loving this plugin.

    With the latest version of the plugin, yes!

    You can also use braces to specify two fields for the post_title. For example, you can reference other (non-array) fields like this:

    Airtable Field to be used as post_title: {Name} – {Status}

    Also you can use the airpress_virtualpost_setup action in your functions.php file like this:
    (untested, sorry! Let me know if it doesn’t work and I’ll test)

    function my_virtualpost_setup($config){
	global $post;

	if ( ! is_airpress_empty($post->AirpressCollection) ){
														// Field name 		// related table name
		$post->AirpressCollection->populateRelatedField("Good Options For:", "Special Diets");

		// Assuming a single record returned:
		$record = $post->AirpressCollection[0];

		$good_for = $record["Good Options for:"]->getFieldValues("Diet");

		$post->post_title = $record["Name"]." - ".implode(",", $good_for);
	}

}
add_action('airpress_virtualpost_setup','my_virtualpost_setup');
