Hi John,
acf_form() code looks like this:
<?php $options = array(
'id' => 'data-subsection',
'post_id' => $submission_post->ID,
'fields' => array(
'field_55b1208a40b0e',
'field_5595c1f4a3e3a',
'field_5595c20aa3e3b',
'field_5595c26fa3e3c',
),
'submit_value' => 'Save',
'updated_message' => '',
);
?>
<?php acf_form( $options ); ?>
Form tag always has id=’post’, which is not what docs say, so bug/ or doc issue there. Rendered HTML looks like this:
<form id="post" class="acf-form" action="" method="post">
In file api-tmeplate.php starting around line 1277 ( I have been messing w/ this file for testing of ajax submit form, so lines probably don’t exactly match what is in un altered code base) looks like this:
// defaults
$args = wp_parse_args( $args, array(
'id' => 'acf-form',
'post_id' => false,
'new_post' => false,
'field_groups' => false,
'fields' => false,
'post_title' => false,
'post_content' => false,
'form' => true,
'form_attributes' => array(),
'return' => add_query_arg( 'updated', 'true', $url ),
'html_before_fields' => '',
'html_after_fields' => '',
'submit_value' => __("Update", 'acf'),
'updated_message' => __("Post updated", 'acf'),
'label_placement' => 'top',
'instruction_placement' => 'label',
'field_el' => 'div',
'uploader' => 'wp'
));
$args['form_attributes'] = wp_parse_args( $args['form_attributes'], array(
'id' => 'post',
'class' => '',
'action' => '',
'method' => 'post',
));
I was able to get my $args id to appear by changing:
$args['form_attributes'] = wp_parse_args( $args['form_attributes'], array(
'id' => 'post',
'class' => '',
'action' => '',
'method' => 'post',
));
to
$args['form_attributes'] = wp_parse_args( $args['form_attributes'], array(
'id' => $args['id'],
'class' => '',
'action' => '',
'method' => 'post',
));
And if no id is supplied in the $args list, then ‘acf-form’ is the form ID, like the docs say it should be.
