Hello,
I am planning on running a Mother's Day contest next month where a user comes to my site and nominates a local mom to win the grand prize. and then using a 2nd form, users will vote on moms based upon the nominations... Setting up the form is easy enough, creating the post from the form is easy enough but I wanted to know if there is a way to add some kind of Unique Auto Incrementing ID number into each post. In theory, the voting form would say "Please enter the name of the mom you are voting for" but to avoid any duplicates or user errors, I'd rather just say "Please enter the unique # of the mom you are voting for".
So instead of Jane Smith, they would have to enter #20120328 into the 2nd voting form.
Is there a way to automatically create and display these unique IDs on the post page (after they've submitted the first form)?
