    Hello,

    I am doing something very similar to this, but using a MB custom table to save the data: https://metabox.io/how-to-create-a-contact-form-with-mb-frontend-submission/

    I am displaying my form on the single pages of a CPT. I want to know which post the form was submitted from, so I am just hooking into rwmb_frontend_after_process and setting $reference_post_id = get_the_ID(); and then saving that value to the database using the MetaBox\CustomTable\API::update feature. That way whenever I look at the new post that is created from the form submit, I know which post that submission came from.

    This was working perfectly until I decided to turn on ajax for the frontend form. Looks like doing this is causing problems with getting the id of post that the form is on. Is there a way to do this while using ajax?

    I already saw this thread, but it also seems to require turning ajax off. Also, I'm not working with relationships.

    Hi Graceson,

    For the post submitted, you can use the passing variable $post_id to get the post ID. For the current post that shows the frontend form, you can use the WP function get_queried_object_id() to get the post ID. For example:

    add_action( 'rwmb_frontend_after_process', function( $config, $post_id ) {
$data = [
    'field_1' => 'value 1',
    'field_2' => 'value 2',
    'field 3' => ['one', 'two', 'three'],
];
// or \MetaBox\CustomTable\API::update( get_queried_object_id(), 'my-custom-table', $data );
\MetaBox\CustomTable\API::update( $post_id, 'my-custom-table', $data );
}, 10, 2 );

    Hi Long,

    I don't think this answer quite gets at the problem I was having (which is still unsolved).

    What I was trying to say is this. When ajax is turned on, the following no longer works:

    
add_action( 'rwmb_frontend_after_process', function( $config, $post_id ) {
$reference_post_ID = get_queried_object_id();

$data = [
    'reference_post_ID' => $reference_post_ID,
    'field_2' => 'value 2',
    'field 3' => ['one', 'two', 'three'],
];

\MetaBox\CustomTable\API::update( $post_id, 'my-custom-table', $data );
}, 10, 2 );

    The idea is that I want to save the ID of the current post where the form is displayed to the post that is being submitted by the user. That way, I can track which post each submission came from. This works with [mb_frontend_form id="field-group-id" ajax="false"] but it fails when [mb_frontend_form id="field-group-id" ajax="true"]

    Thanks,
    Graceson

    Hi,

    Thanks for your feedback.

    I see the field value is updated as well but somehow the function get_queried_object_id() does not return the correct post/page ID that displays the frontend form. I will inform the development team to check this issue and get back to you later.
