Auto-Generate Post Title

Author: Kev Quirk |  Hook: on_filter_post

For any post using the notes layout with no title set, this hook generates one from the current date and time in your site's configured timezone, prepended with a note emoji. For example:

📝 2026-05-11 11:28

Useful for notes or microblog-style setups where you don't want to manually title every notes post.

function on_filter_post(array $post): array
{
    $post['layout'] = trim($post['layout'] ?? '', '"\'');

    if (($post['layout'] ?? '') === 'notes' && trim($post['title'] ?? '') === '') {
        $config = load_config();
        $post['title'] = '📝 ' . current_site_datetime_for_storage($config);
    }
    return $post;
}
