[Plugin: TDO Mini Forms] Title using 3 Custom Fields and Example Codes Not Working

    I have been through this forum and the TDO forum and the code examples are not working for me. I can make a title using one custom field with this code:

    <?php
/* assuming you have called the custom field key "State"... */
$post_title = get_post_meta($post_id, 'State', true);
$postdata = array( "ID" => $post_id, "post_title" => $post_title);
sanitize_post($postdata,"db");
wp_update_post($postdata);
?>

    When I follow the coding examples in the forums and create this code
    all I get is the date and time stamp:

    <?php
$description = get_post_meta($post_id, ‘Description’, true);
$city = get_post_meta($post_id, 'City', true);
$state = get_post_meta($post_id, 'State', true);
$post_content = $description . $city. $state;
$postdata = array(
“ID” => $post_id,“post_title” => $post_content);
sanitize_post($postdata,”db”);
wp_update_post($postdata);
?>

    I have also tried replacing post_content with post_title.

    Any ideas?

    Well, I found out my mistake – curly quotes and changing the = to . equal

    Here is the correct code in case anyone would like to use it:

    <?php
$description = get_post_meta($post_id, 'Description', true);
$city = get_post_meta($post_id, 'City', true);
$state = get_post_meta($post_id, 'State', true);
$post_title .= $description . $city . $state;

$postdata = array("ID"=> $post_id, "post_title" => $post_title);
sanitize_post($postdata,"db");
wp_update_post($postdata);
?>

    Hi

    I am wanting to do the same, and have copied your code as follows, with my 3 field name changes:

    <?php
$name = get_post_meta($post_id, 'Name', true);
$suburb = get_post_meta($post_id, 'Suburb', true);
$phone = get_post_meta($post_id, 'Phone', true);
$post_title .= $name . $suburb . $phone;

$postdata = array("ID"=> $post_id, "post_title" => $post_title);
sanitize_post($postdata,"db");
wp_update_post($postdata);
?>

    My three custom fields are called:

    TDOMF Form #1 Custom Field #Name
TDOMF Form #1 Custom Field #Suburb
TDOMF Form #1 Custom Field #Phone

    Each attempt I make, after finding a few errors each time, have resulted in the “No Post Title” error.

    Can anyone please see what I am doing wrong ?

    I fathomed it out, I got the field names wrong.

    Where my actual field name was “TDOMF Form #1 Custom Field #Name”
    I just used the “#name” part.
