Hi,
Thanks so much for the response. I apologize I am not very advanced with using php.
This is what my current form looks like:
<?php acf_form_head(); ?>
<?php /* The loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php
acf_form(array(
'post_id' => 'new_post',
'post_title' => true,
'new_post' => array(
'post_type' => 'shareable',
'post_status' => 'future' ,
),
'submit_value' => 'Create post'
)); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
I am unclear on how to use the function acf-pre_save_post to set the post date variable.
I have a datepicker field added formatted like Y-m-d. Would the below code work with my form added above <?php acf_form_head(); ?> at the top of my template?
<?php
function my_pre_save_post( $post_id ) {
// check if this is to be a new post
if( $post_id != 'new' ) {
return $post_id
}
// The date picker field
$postdate = get_field('schedule_post');
// Create a new post
$post = array(
'post_status' => 'future' ,
'post_date' => '$postdate' ,
'edit_date' => 'true'
);
// insert the post
$post_id = wp_insert_post( $post );
// return the new ID
return $post_id;
}
add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'my_pre_save_post', 10, 1 );
?>
