Populate hidden field with database value

May be you can make the post title and the post content as a read only field by using jQuery/JavaScript. That way they wouldn’t be able to update those fields.

I haven’t tried it yet, when I do, I’ll post the codes here.

THANK YOU, Tareq! That would be greatly appreciated as I am not familiar with JavaScript coding and and I’ve been struggling to resolve this for about a week…. The ability to allow registered users to add tags to other author’s post/images but no other fields. I feel I am spinning in circles looking for ways to accomplish this. 🙂

Paste this code in your themes functions.php

[php]
function wpufe_lock_post_fields( $form_id ) {
if ( $form_id == ‘6’ ) {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($){
$(‘input#post_title’).attr(‘readonly’, ‘readonly’);
$(‘textarea#post_content’).attr(‘readonly’, ‘readonly’);
});
</script>
<?php
}
}

add_action( ‘wpuf_edit_post_form_bottom’, ‘wpufe_lock_post_fields’ );
[/php]

Change the form ID in that code with your form id.

Note: It’ll not work if the post content field has rich textarea.

Thank you for the javascript snippet. It worked beautifully. One last, unexpected problem with this. I made an assumption that I would be able to lock the image upload and featured image fields the same way but have been unsuccessful. Could you please tell me how to do that? I’ve been trying all day and no luck (except bad) :(.

Many thanks to you again.

I think you can’t disable the image field with this, sorry!
