Spent some time trying to figure this out and here’s what I have
create a script and enqueue it in the admin
add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', 'extend_acf_datepicker');
function extend_acf_datepicker() {
$handle = 'extend-acf-datepicker';
$src = get_template_directory_uri().'/extend-acf-datepicker.js';
$depends = array('acf-field-group');
wp_enqueue_script($handle, $src, $depends);
}
here’s the script, not much for explanation, hopefully it works.
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
// extend acf's datepicker field
var extended_datepicker = acf.fields.date_picker.extend({
events: {
'change input[type="text"]': 'change',
},
change: function() {
// get the ID of the field that triggered function
var $hidden_id = this.$hidden.attr('id');
if ($hidden_id == 'acf-field_571fdefeea8fd') {
// this runs on the field you want to copy from
// put the value of this field into the other field
$('#acf-field_571fdf12ea8fe').val(this.$hidden.val());
// this triggers change on the field you want to copy to
// where the value will be formatted for display
$('div[data-key="field_571fdf12ea8fe"] input').trigger('change');
} else if ($hidden_id == 'acf-field_571fdf12ea8fe') {
// this runs on the field you want to copy to
var value = this.$hidden.val();
value = value.substr(0,4)+'-'+value.substr(4,2)+'-'+value.substr(6,2);
var date = new Date(value);
value = $.datepicker.formatDate(this.o.display_format, date);
this.$input.val(value);
}
}, // end change
}) // end extent
}); // ene ready
There is a lot of trial and error when working with the JS side of ACF. You’ve basically got to dig into the js files in ACF and start making mistakes.
