Hi John, thanks for your answer!
I use only field keys and I use several levels of nested fields, for example:
const ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY = 'field_5d5e603dbfb7b';
const ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_LOGO = 'field_5d5e60cbbfb7d';
const ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_CREATION_YEAR = 'field_5d5e6279bfb80';
const ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_HR_MAIL = 'field_5e022ff49af2b';
const ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_TURNOVER = 'field_5d5e6c44bfb88';
const ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_HEADER_ILLU = 'field_5d5e612abfb7e';
const ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_MAIN_ILLU = 'field_5d5e61e3bfb7f';
const ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_MAIN_ILLU_MEDIA = 'field_5dc95f49358a6' . '_' . ACF_ID_GLOBAL_MEDIA;
const ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_MAIN_ILLU_MEDIA_TYPE = ACF_ID_GLOBAL_MEDIA_TYPE;
const ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_MAIN_ILLU_MEDIA_IMAGE = ACF_ID_GLOBAL_MEDIA_IMAGE;
const ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_MAIN_ILLU_MEDIA_VIDEO = ACF_ID_GLOBAL_MEDIA_VIDEO;
// Logo
if ($company->hasLogo() && $company->getLogo()->hasId()) {
$identity[ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_LOGO] = $company->getLogo()->getId();
}
// Creation Year
if ($company->hasCreationYear()) {
$identity[ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_CREATION_YEAR] = $company->getCreationYear();
}
// Global HR Mail Address
if ($company->hasGlobalHrMailAddress()) {
$identity[ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_HR_MAIL] = $company->getGlobalHrMailAddress();
}
// Turnover
if ($company->hasTurnover()) {
$identity[ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_TURNOVER] = $company->getTurnover();
}
// -- /General
// -- Illustrations
// Header Illustration
if ($company->hasHeaderMedia() && $company->getHeaderMedia()->hasId()) {
$identity[ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_HEADER_ILLU] = $company->getHeaderMedia()->getId();
}
// Main Illustration
if ($company->hasMainMedia() && ($company->getMainMedia()->hasId() || $company->getMainMedia()->hasSrc())) {
$mainMedia = [];
if ($company->getMainMedia()->isImage()) {
$mainMedia[ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_MAIN_ILLU_MEDIA_TYPE] = Media::ACF_IS_IMAGE;
$mainMedia[ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_MAIN_ILLU_MEDIA_IMAGE] = $company->getMainMedia()->getId();
}
if ($company->getMainMedia()->isVideo()) {
$mainMedia[ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_MAIN_ILLU_MEDIA_ TYPE] = Media::ACF_IS_VIDEO;
$mainMedia[ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_MAIN_ILLU_MEDIA_VIDEO] = $company->getMainMedia()->getSrc();
}
$identity[ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_MAIN_ILLU][ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY_MAIN_ILLU_MEDIA] = $mainMedia;
}
// -- /Illustrations
// Update IDENTITY
if (!empty($identity)) {
update_field(ACF_ID_COMPANY_IDENTITY, $identity, $postId);
}
So here what do you think I should do? Use add_row()
instead of arrays? Use update_sub_field()
instead of update_field()
on all $identity variable?
