Hey guys,
I would like to use ACF to show whether or not a user with the role ‘advisor’ is online. As of now I have a true/false field set up (inside a group) and I can manually switch between the different statuses for each user and see the update reflected on the frontend. However I would like this to function automatically, and this is where I’m lost.
This is the function I have produced so far – but it’s not working.
add_action('wp_loaded', 'itc_assign_advisor_online_status');
function itc_assign_advisor_online_status() {
$online_status = get_field('onlinestatus');
if (is_user_logged_in() && ! current_user_can( 'administrator' )) {
$online_status['is_online'] = 1;
} else {
update_field($online_status['is_online'], 0);
}
}
Am I using the wrong hook, maybe?
For the record, this is my graphical interface code:
<?php
$online_status = get_field('onlinestatus');
$green_status = 'online';
$yellow_fill_status = 'busy--filled';
$red_fill_status = 'offline--filled';
$yellow_border_status = 'busy';
$red_border_status = 'offline';
if ($online_status) { ?>
<div class="card__btn-block">
<a href="#" class="btn rounded <?php
if ($online_status['is_online']) {
echo $green_status;
}
if ($online_status['is_busy']) {
echo $yellow_border_status;
}
if ($online_status['is_offline']) {
echo $red_border_status;
} ?>"><?php
if ($online_status['is_online']) {
echo 'Available';
}
if ($online_status['is_busy']) {
echo 'Busy';
}
if ($online_status['is_offline']) {
echo 'Offline';
}
?></a>
</div>
<?php } ?>
Any help is highly appreciated!

ACF wouldn’t be so widely used in WordPress if it didn’t have some pretty amazing capabilities. In this article, we look at a few of the features we’ll discuss during “7 things you didn’t know you could do with ACF” at #WPEDecode later this month. https://t.co/5lnsTxp81j pic.twitter.com/Yf0ThPG1QG
