Well, for anyone wondering, I found a “solution”.
public function add_more_layouts( $field ) {
$add_layouts = array();
$default_layouts = acf_get_field( 'default_layouts' );
if( ! empty( $default_layouts[ 'layouts' ] ) ) {
$add_layouts = $this->merge_blocks_correctly( $add_layouts, $default_layouts[ 'layouts' ] );
}
$user_layouts = acf_get_field( 'user_layouts' );
if( ! empty( $user_layouts[ 'layouts' ] ) ) {
$add_layouts = $this->merge_blocks_correctly( $add_layouts, $user_layouts[ 'layouts' ] );
}
$global_layouts = acf_get_field( 'global_layouts' );
if( ! empty( $global_layouts[ 'layouts' ] ) ) {
$add_layouts = $this->merge_blocks_correctly( $add_layouts, $global_layouts[ 'layouts' ] );
}
$field[ 'layouts' ] = $add_layouts;
return $field;
}
public function merge_blocks_correctly( $layouts_start, $layouts_new ) {
foreach( (array) $layouts_new as $layout_key => $layout_data ) {
if( array_key_exists( $layout_key, $layouts_start ) ) {
unset( $layouts_start[ $layout_key ] );
}
}
$merge = array_merge( $layouts_start, $layouts_new );
return $merge;
}
How it works:
1) I get all default layouts from EMPTY (except first dummy layout) Flexible Content field
2) Then I proceed to load “user” layouts (another Flexible Content field)
3) These I merge BUT remove anything that was previously setup (duplicates)
4) I add more layouts (repetitive point 2 and 3)
5) Overwrite (return) layouts from EMPTY Flexible Content. Each is in seperate Field Group
This way I can modify multiple Flexible Fields separately and they load to the “empty” one.
