Update:
@jonathan in my DB ACF is saving the datetime as a UNIX timestamp. I have edited the code to use update_field() and it still isn’t saving to the database, using the field name or field key.
function updateSeminarTime($post_id)
{
// bail early if no ACF data
if (empty($_POST['acf'])) {
return;
}
// array of field values
//$fields = $_POST['acf'];
// specific field value
$post = get_post($post_id);
$expertId = $post->post_author;
$userTimeZone = getTimeZone($expertId);
$userTimeZoneOffset = get_timezone_offset($userTimeZone, 'UTC');
$seminarDate = $_POST['acf']['seminar_date'];
$seminarDate = strtotime($seminarDate);
$seminarDate = $seminarDate + $userTimeZoneOffset;
//$seminarDate = date('m/d/y h:mm tt', $seminarDate);
echo $seminarDate;
echo $userTimeZoneOffset;
echo $post_id;
update_field('field_552cb019acd87',$seminarDate,$post_id);
}
// run before ACF saves the $_POST['acf'] data
add_action('acf/save_post', 'updateSeminarTime', 20);
When I save the post, it automatically takes me to the new post. How can I debug this and see any echo’d values etc?
