I have two functions to process a frontend form. These functions used to properly process my form as expected until v4.2.0.
The pre_save function:
/**
* ACF Pre Save Post
*
* @return int $post_id The ID of the new post;
*/
function my_acf_pre_save_post( $post_id ) {
if( $post_id != 'new' ) return $post_id;
$post_data = array(
'post_title' => 'Draft Post',
'post_status' => 'draft',
'post_author' => get_current_user_id()
);
$post_id = wp_insert_post( $post_data );
return $post_id;
}
add_filter( 'acf/pre_save_post' , 'my_acf_pre_save_post', 10, 2 );
… And the save_post function:
/**
* Add Post Data to ACF Form Post
*
* @return void
*/
function my_acf_save_post( $post_id ) {
// Don't do this on the ACF post type
if ( get_post_type( $post_id ) == 'acf' ) return;
// Get the Fields
$fields = get_field_objects( $post_id );
// Get the Post Type in the Hidden Field Default Value
$cpt = $fields["form_field_key_post_type"]['value'];
// Prevent Infinite Looping...
remove_action( 'acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post' );
// Grab Post Data from the Form
$post = array(
'ID' => $post_id,
'post_type' => $cpt
'post_title' => $fields['form_field_key_post_title']['value'],
'post_content' => $fields['form_field_key_post_content']['value'],
'post_status' => $fields['form_field_key_post_status']['value']
);
// Update the Post
wp_update_post( $post );
// Continue save action
add_action( 'acf/save_post', 'my_save_post' );
// Set the Return URL in Case of 'new' Post
$_POST['return'] = add_query_arg( 'updated', 'true', get_permalink( $post_id ) );
}
add_action( 'acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post', 10, 1 );
Adding these debugging statements into the pre_save_post produced unexpected results considering acf_form_head sets $post_id to the value of $_POST['post_id'].
See line 1012
/**
* ACF Pre Save Post
*
* @return int $post_id The ID of the new post;
*/
function my_acf_pre_save_post( $post_id ) {
var_dump( $post_id ); // OUTPUT: NULL
var_dump( $_POST['post_id'] ); // OUTPUT: string(3) "new"
die();
if( $post_id != 'new' ) return $post_id;
$post_data = array(
'post_title' => 'Draft Listing',
'post_status' => 'draft',
'post_author' => get_current_user_id()
);
$post_id = wp_insert_post( $post_data );
return $post_id;
}
add_filter( 'acf/pre_save_post' , 'mri_jb_acf_pre_save_post', 10, 2 );
