Okay, I have one I can’t seem to find any hints on.

I have a two step process I am building, both steps having end users commit entries via safecracker.

Step 1)  User submits entry to Channel_A
Step 2)  User submits entry to Channel_B, that has a custom field named Channel_A_entry_id

The core issue is that at Step 2 I need to know what the entry_id created in Step 1 was.  To further compound this problem, there is a pathway that will allow a guest-user to make these postings.  Because of this it would be possible for two guests to post at the same time, so I can’t just get the one most recent entry from Channel_A.

Is there a way to pass forward the entry_id of the posting just submitted via safecracker to another template?

TacomaWeekly,

Is there a way to pass forward the entry_id of the posting just submitted via SC to another template?

Have look at your return parameter

return="channel_name/edit/ENTRY_ID"

Specify a path to redirect the user to after an entry submission. You may use the constants ENTRY_ID and URL_TITLE, which will be replaced with the entry’s entry_id or url_title, respectively. This is a required parameter.

EPIC!

I had seen that somewhere, however I misunderstood the meaning.  I thought the ENTRY_ID meant for me to manually substitute the value in, not use it as a variable.

Problem = Solved!  Thanks John!

Glad John was able to help. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
