Hi Elliot,

I’ve been having a look and don’t know if I’ve got something wrong with it but can’t access the global $current_screen, get_current_screen() returns null and the $_GET array is empty when I run them from within the filter. The $post term passed to the filter is also null.

I’m going round in circles a bit here.

function mo_acf_available_posts( $args, $field, $post )
{
	global $wp_query;
	global $page_now;
	$term = '1'; // WORK OUT HOW TO GET ACTIVE TERM
    $args['client'] = $term;
	var_dump($args);
	echo "<hr>";
	var_dump($field);
	echo "<hr>";
	var_dump($wp_query);
	echo "<hr>";
	var_dump($page_now);
	echo "<hr>";
	var_dump($_GET);
	echo "<hr>";
    return $args;
}
//add_filter('acf/fields/post_object/query/name=excluded_projects', 'mo_acf_available_posts', 10, 3);

This filters the posts by the client term id=1, I just need to get the current term ID and exchange the hard-coded 1 in.

Here’s the vars dumped by the server for each:

$args:
array(7) { ["numberposts"]=> int(-1) ["post_type"]=> string(7) "project" ["orderby"]=> string(5) "title" ["order"]=> string(3) "ASC" ["post_status"]=> array(5) { [0]=> string(7) "publish" [1]=> string(7) "private" [2]=> string(5) "draft" [3]=> string(7) "inherit" [4]=> string(6) "future" } ["suppress_filters"]=> bool(false) ["client"]=> string(1) "1" }

$field:
array(18) { ["key"]=> string(19) "field_52f3bb5c778f0" ["label"]=> string(17) "Excluded Projects" ["name"]=> string(27) "fields[field_52f3bb5c778f0]" ["_name"]=> string(17) "excluded_projects" ["type"]=> string(6) "select" ["order_no"]=> int(1) ["instructions"]=> string(0) "" ["required"]=> int(1) ["id"]=> string(27) "acf-field-excluded_projects" ["class"]=> string(11) "post_object" ["conditional_logic"]=> array(3) { ["status"]=> int(1) ["rules"]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(3) { ["field"]=> string(19) "field_52f3b64ed5d5c" ["operator"]=> string(2) "==" ["value"]=> string(1) "1" } } ["allorany"]=> string(3) "all" } ["post_type"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(7) "project" } ["taxonomy"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(3) "all" } ["allow_null"]=> int(0) ["multiple"]=> int(1) ["field_group"]=> int(149) ["value"]=> string(0) "" ["choices"]=> array(0) { } }

$wp_query:
object(WP_Query)#158 (51) { ["query"]=> NULL ["query_vars"]=> array(0) { } ["tax_query"]=> NULL ["meta_query"]=> bool(false) ["date_query"]=> bool(false) ["queried_object"]=> NULL ["queried_object_id"]=> NULL ["request"]=> NULL ["posts"]=> NULL ["post_count"]=> int(0) ["current_post"]=> int(-1) ["in_the_loop"]=> bool(false) ["post"]=> NULL ["comments"]=> NULL ["comment_count"]=> int(0) ["current_comment"]=> int(-1) ["comment"]=> NULL ["found_posts"]=> int(0) ["max_num_pages"]=> int(0) ["max_num_comment_pages"]=> int(0) ["is_single"]=> bool(false) ["is_preview"]=> bool(false) ["is_page"]=> bool(false) ["is_archive"]=> bool(false) ["is_date"]=> bool(false) ["is_year"]=> bool(false) ["is_month"]=> bool(false) ["is_day"]=> bool(false) ["is_time"]=> bool(false) ["is_author"]=> bool(false) ["is_category"]=> bool(false) ["is_tag"]=> bool(false) ["is_tax"]=> bool(false) ["is_search"]=> bool(false) ["is_feed"]=> bool(false) ["is_comment_feed"]=> bool(false) ["is_trackback"]=> bool(false) ["is_home"]=> bool(false) ["is_404"]=> bool(false) ["is_comments_popup"]=> bool(false) ["is_paged"]=> bool(false) ["is_admin"]=> bool(false) ["is_attachment"]=> bool(false) ["is_singular"]=> bool(false) ["is_robots"]=> bool(false) ["is_posts_page"]=> bool(false) ["is_post_type_archive"]=> bool(false) ["query_vars_hash"]=> bool(false) ["query_vars_changed"]=> bool(true) ["thumbnails_cached"]=> bool(false) ["stopwords":"WP_Query":private]=> NULL }
This doesn’t look right, lots of false values and no information, think this might be why I can’t get the $_GET var.

$pagenow:
NULL

$_GET:
array(0) { }

I may well be doing something stupid here but thought I’d post up the code in case someone else can see what I need to do, any advice would be great. Thanks,
Danny
