Hello everyone,
I recently try to use acf_form() to create a front-end submission (using this tutorial: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/tutorials/using-acf_form-to-create-a-new-post/), but when I put 'post_id' => 'new' in the $args array(), it’s just don’t work…and the front-end form disappear.
Here’s my code:
function formation_pre_save_post($post_id) {
if($post_id != 'new')
return $post_id;
$post = array(
'post_status' => 'draft',
'post_title' => 'FTF',
'post_type' => 'formation',
);
$post_id = wp_insert_post($post);
$_POST['return'] = add_query_arg(array('post_id' => $post_id), $_POST['return']);
return $post_id;
}
add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'formation_pre_save_post');
acf_form_head();
get_header();
the_post();
$args = array(
// 'post_id' => 'new',
'submit_value' => __('Create post', 'textdomain'),
'updated_message' => __('Post created', 'textdomain'),
);
acf_form($args);
Thanks 🙂
Edit: And when I’m try to use 'fields_group' => array(2213), it’s just output Warning: array_merge(): Argument #1 is not an array in C:\XAMPP\htdocs\communicacteurs\wp-content\plugins\advanced-custom-fields\core\api.php on line 1185
i have the same problem here.
i created a custom post type “datensatz” and also used the scripts from this site: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/tutorials/using-acf_form-to-create-a-new-post/
i created a page with a template like this:
<?php acf_form_head();
get_header(); ?>
<div id="primary" class="content-area">
<div id="content" class="site-content" role="main">
<?php /* The loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php acf_form(array(
'post_id' => 'new',
'submit_value' => 'Neuen Datensatz erstellen'
)); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #primary -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
and added the following code in my functions.php:
function my_pre_save_post( $post_id ) {
// check if this is to be a new post
if( $post_id != 'new' )
{
return $post_id;
}
// Create a new post
$post = array(
'post_status' => 'draft',
'post_title' => 'Test',
'post_type' => 'datensatz',
);
// insert the post
$post_id = wp_insert_post( $post );
// update $_POST['return']
$_POST['return'] = add_query_arg( array('post_id' => $post_id), $_POST['return'] );
// return the new ID
return $post_id;
}
add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'my_pre_save_post' );
on the page in the frontend just the submit button with my custom text shows up, but the form is missing.
i would really appreciate your support. thank you!
I am having the same problem when trying to show a form for creating a new post. I only see the submission button, nothing else. Editing a specific form works.
I have copied the code exactly as is shown on this page: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/functions/acf_form/
I get this error:
Notice: Undefined index: new_post in /wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/core/api.php on line 1185 Warning: array_merge(): Argument #1 is not an array in /wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/core/api.php on line 1185
Update:
Using the fix in this post – http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/functions/acf_form/ the error message is removed, but my form is still not showing. Any ideas?
UPDATE 2!
I was using the documentation for V5… So I had the wrong code!
For v4 and below, you’d need to add in:
'field_groups' => array(ACF_POST_NUMBER),
to the ‘acf_form’ array, making sure to check what your ACF post number is and replacing ACF_POST_NUMBER with it.
Eg.
<?php acf_form(array(
'field_groups' => array(5),
'post_id' => 'new',
'submit_value' => 'Neuen Datensatz erstellen'
)); ?>
My mistake, it’s still not function.
$args = array(
'fields_group' => array(2213),
'post_id' => 'new',
'submit_value' => __('Submit formation', 'communic'),
'updated_message' => __('Formation submited', 'communic'),
);
acf_form($args);
Hello, I love this front end submission form, but the one thing that I am having a hard time with is making the post title = a field from my form. So I have a custom field – “title” and would like to have this as my title of the post. Right now I am just using the default code found here: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/tutorials/using-acf_form-to-create-a-new-post/
I would greatly appreciate it if you can help! Thanks!
@m3ndi3
you need to add id of your title field in $post array like this.
'post_title' => $_POST['fields']['field_53b5105fc69e0'],
you can find the field id by checking the element in firebug.
FYI, Version 5 has this functionality built in via the acf_form function now. You can create new posts, including title and content, from the front-end without custom functions.
Check it: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/functions/acf_form/
With acf pro it’s [‘acf’] instead of [‘fields’]
