Text fields from front end form, Ben.
How do I combine multiple fields in the title? What is the syntax for concatenate?
‘post_title’ => $_POST[‘acf’][‘field_5481ab2cdda13’] [‘field_54814faa2f090’], //NOT work
For example of title- NAME+CITY+DATE –> DMITRY::MOSCOW::22.11.2014 (:: – separator).

Help me, plz

My front-end form –

<?php 
/**
 * Template Name: Page with ACF form
 */
acf_form_head();
get_header(); 
the_post(); 
?>
	<div id="primary">
		<div id="content" role="main">
			<?php 
			$args = array(
				'post_id' => 'new',
				'field_groups' => array( 5 ),
				'updated_message'	=> 'Up the post!'
			);
			acf_form( $args ); 
			?>

 ?>

		</div><!-- #content -->
	</div><!-- #primary -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Plugin –

 
/**
* ACF Frontend Form
*/

function my_pre_save_post( $post_id )
{
    // check if this is to be a new post
    if( $post_id != 'new' )
    {
        return $post_id;
    }

    // Create a new post
    $post = array(
        'post_status'  => 'publish' ,
        'post_title'  => $_POST['acf']['field_5481ab2cdda13'],
        'post_type'  => 'testimonials' ,
        'post_category'=>array(4),
    );  

    // insert the post
    $post_id = wp_insert_post( $post ); 

    // update $_POST['return']
    $_POST['return'] = add_query_arg( array('post_id' => $post_id), $_POST['return'] );    

    // return the new ID
    return $post_id;
}

add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'my_pre_save_post' );
