Restrict symbols in listing title

[Abe]

Hi, How can I make the titles of the listings have only Alphabets and symbols should be restricted?

Thanks

Hi,

Please use this PHP snippet:

add_filter(
	'hivepress/v1/forms/listing_update',
	function( $form ) {
		if ( isset( $form['fields']['title'] ) ) {
		
			$form['fields']['title']['pattern'] = '([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)';
		}

		return $form;
	},
	1000
);

Also, please note that this is a sample code, and you may need to make additional changes to it.

add_filter(
	'hivepress/v1/forms/listing_update',
	function( $form ) {
		if ( isset( $form['fields']['title'] ) ) {
		
			$form['fields']['title']['pattern'] = '([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)';
		}

		return $form;
	},
	1000
);

Hi there Andrii

Just tested your snippet and I get error “Please match the requested format.”

I then added a space value to the allowed characters, [a-zA-Z0-9_- ] (space after the - character) but then get a different error “Title” field contains an invalid value.

The Listing Title I tried “Test Listing”

Is there maybe something else we’re missing?

@Abe it would be interesting to know if it works on your site.

Hi,

Please try this PHP snippet:

add_filter( 
 'hivepress/v1/models/listing', 
 function( $model  ) { 
  if ( isset($model ['fields']['title'] ) ) { 
   $model['fields']['title']['pattern'] = '([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)';
   $model['fields']['title']['description'] = 'please use alphanumeric characters and numbers only'; 
  }
 
  return $model ; 
 }, 
 1000 
);
