Reply To: Same Option page for different CPT

Thanks for bringing me on the right way 🙂

Now I can create a CPT including an options page with a Repeater. That’s super handy for me. Just the field group needs to be linked again from the acf settings to the new option page (is there any easy solution for automation?).
For anyone looking for something similar, here the code from the functions.php. No clue if it’s perfect, but it works well for me.

// CREATES CUSTOM POSTTYPE WITH OPTION PAGES
function instrument_manager() {

if( have_rows('instrument_manager', 'option') ):

    // add specific Option Pages for each CPT
    if( function_exists('acf_add_options_page') ) {
        
    while( have_rows('instrument_manager', 'option') ) : the_row();

        $post_type_title = get_sub_field('instrument_title', 'option'); //can be every title
        $post_type_slug = get_sub_field('instrument_slug', 'option'); //no special chars, no caps

        acf_add_options_sub_page(array(
            'page_title'     => 'Settings ' . $post_type_title,
            'menu_title'     => 'Settings ' . $post_type_title,
            'parent_slug'    => 'edit.php?post_type=' . $post_type_slug,
            'post_id'        => 'options_' . $post_type_slug,
        ));
    endwhile;
    }

    // create Custom Post Types 
    function create_posttype() {
    while( have_rows('instrument_manager', 'option') ) : the_row();

        $post_type_title = get_sub_field('instrument_title', 'option');
        $post_type_slug = get_sub_field('instrument_title', 'option');

        $lables = array('name' => __( $post_type_title ), 'singular_name' => __( $post_type_title ));
        $args = array(
            'labels' => $lables,
            'public'            => true,
            'publicly_queryable' => true,
            'supports'          => array( 'title', 'editor', 'page-attributes' ),
            'taxonomies'        => array( 'category', 'post_tag' ),
        );
        register_post_type( $post_type_slug , $args ); 
    endwhile;
    }

endif;
}
add_action('init', 'instrument_manager');
add_action( 'init', 'create_posttype' );

and to read out the settings in my archive.php I used this line:

    $post_type = 'options_' . get_query_var('post_type');
the_field('field-name', $post_type) ?>
