Define menu_order on Creation of New Custom Post? in WordPress

Hi @fxfuture :

I think what you are looking for is the wp_insert_post_data hook. You can add this code to the bottom of your theme's functions.php file and/or you can add it to a plugin:

add_filter('wp_insert_post_data','my_wp_insert_post_data',10,2);
function my_wp_insert_post_data($data, $postarr) { $post_type = 'video'; if ($data['post_type']==$post_type && get_post($postarr['ID'])->
post_status=='draft') { global $wpdb; $data['menu_order'] = $wpdb->
get_var("SELECT MAX(menu_order)+1 AS menu_order FROM {$wpdb->
posts} WHERE post_type='{$post_type}'"); } return $data;
}
