I want a form on the front end for creating a Custom Post Type using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin.
I’m using code from the tutorial Create A Front End Form combined with code I found on Stack Overflow that defines the $options
for <?php acf_form(); ?>
.
The code I have so far is:
<?php acf_form_head(); ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="primary">
<div id="content" role="main">
<?php /* The loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php
$options = array(
'post_id' => $post->ID, // post id to get field groups from and save data to
'field_groups' => array(), // this will find the field groups for this post (post ID's of the acf post objects)
'form' => true, // set this to false to prevent the <form> tag from being created
'form_attributes' => array( // attributes will be added to the form element
'id' => 'post',
'class' => '',
'action' => 'submit',
'method' => 'post',
),
'return' => add_query_arg( 'updated', 'true', get_permalink() ), // return url
'html_before_fields' => '', // html inside form before fields
'html_after_fields' => '', // html inside form after fields
'submit_value' => 'Submit', // value for submit field
'updated_message' => 'Post updated.', // default updated message. Can be false to show no message
);
acf_form( $options );
?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #primary -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
I’m not sure how to make this work:
- How do I specify the post ID?
- How/where do I specify the connection to the Custom Post Type and the custom fields I want to show?
Can you please tell me where in the code can I get specific information like my field IDs, etc?
Have you tried like (set
88
to your field group ID)maybe this can help
