Oke, I am little bit further. I managed to create a post and a user but I am not yet there.
This is what I use in my template:
while (have_posts()) {
the_post();
acf_form(array(
'post_id' => 'new_post',
'submit_value' => 'Register user',
'uploader' => 'basic',
'updated_message' => 'Well done! You made an account and a post.',
'html_updated_message' => '<div style="background: rgba(31,205,80,.2); padding: 10px 20px; border-radius: 4px;" class="updated"><p>%s</p></div>',
'new_post' => array(
'post_type' => 'my-cpt',
'post_status' => 'publish'
),
));
}
This is what I have now in my functions.php:
function create_user_via_acf($post_id) {
$username = get_field('username',$post_id);
$password = get_field('password',$post_id);
$email = get_field('email',$post_id);
$categories = get_field('categories',$post_id);
// creating the user
$userdata = array (
'user_login' => $username .'-'. generate_random_user_number(),
'user_email' => $email,
'user_pass' => $password,
'post_category' => $categories
);
$user_id = wp_insert_user($userdata);
// overwriting the post I created with acf_form()
$arg = array(
'ID' => $post_id,
'post_author' => $user_id,
'post_title' => $username .'-'. generate_random_user_number(),
'post_content' => 'content overwritten',
);
wp_update_post($arg);
return $post_id;
//wp_delete_post($post_id); //this does not delete the second post
}
add_action('acf/save_post', 'create_user_via_acf', 20);
In the function above, I try to delete the extra post, wich does not work. I do not know why. Further more, I also see there are 2 posts being created, this should be one. Also the title of the post should be the same as the user I am trying to create.
I created a function wich returns a random integer of 3 numers (generate_random_user_number()) wich I append to the username and post. But it creates one user with e.g. username-123 and 2 posts with post-456 and post-789. Just an example to point out the digits aren’t the same. For different reasons I use the a number wich is called upon 3 times since it generates 3 different numbers.
It should be post-123 and username-123. Username-123 should automaticly the post_author of post-123. But I just can’t get my head around this.
I also used add_filter(‘acf/pre_save_post’) but that did not work either.
Does anybody have any thoughts on this? A lot of thanks in advance.
