save pos, trigger action and jquery. WordPress
- SOLVED
On WP post editor, I have inserted a metabox containing a div that composes an image from the features image and the title.
It uses Jquery and ajax, all works fine.
I would like it to create this image automatically when we save the post. I am not a programmer and I don't know how to make a function that could do that - ie trigger the jquery to generate the base64 image and so on.
This is inside a little plugin - if you need it, I can send it to you.

Arnav,
Thank you for answering, I am still alive, thank you :-) Hope you are fine too.
Please get this plugin, install it in a WP test: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1hCtE3NYokNWWi8sWxorMR0Dh2LkwqQB6
Once installed, create a post, with title and featured image. You will see in the editor, bottom of page a metabox: "Campaigndot Banner"
It works fine.
1) We "Generate the banner" to save it in media (works with jquery, Ajax)
2) We "Choose Banner" to save the image inside the post.
But I would like this process automatic when we create the post the first time (not on updates).
I don't know how to make that work…
You can find the code you need in the files :
1 - the metabox : /admin/wes_metabox_posts.php
2 - the function : /admin/wes_metabox_posts.php line 272
3 - the js : /js/send_to_canvas.js

Hi,
Which version of wp are you using?
Are you using gutenburg blocks or classic editor?
I installed and activated plugin and I am getting "No user id defined" error and nothing loading for me in admin.

When i publish post i get following erro
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function strptime() in campaigndot\admin\wes_metabox_posts.php:248
The reason is the function strptime() is not compatible with windows platform.
