Hi @d_alinus2004
Yes, you can do it by using the acf/save_post hook. In this hook, you can check if there’s data in the dummy form or not and then create a new post by using the wp_insert_post() function. It should be something like this:
function my_acf_save_post( $post_id ) {
// Only do this for "task" post type
if( get_post_type($post_id) != 'task' ){
return;
}
// Get the posted value
$company_title = get_field('dummy_company_title_name');
$company_custom_field = get_field('dummy_company_custom_field_name');
// Check if there's posted data
if( !$company_title ){
return;
}
// Build the post data
$the_post = array(
'post_status' => 'publish' ,
'post_title' => $company_title ,
'post_type' => 'company' ,
);
// insert the post
$company_post_id = wp_insert_post( $the_post );
// Update the custom field
// "field_1234567890abc" is the field key of the fields in the company post
update_field('field_1234567890abc', $company_custom_field, $company_post_id);
// Remove the saved custom field value in the task post
// "field_abcdefghijk123" is the field key of "dummy_company_title_name"
// and "field_asdfghjklzx123" is the field
// key of the "dummy_company_title_name" field
update_field('field_asdfghjklzx123', '', $post_id);
update_field('field_abcdefghijk123', '', $post_id);
}
// run after ACF saves the $_POST['acf'] data
add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_acf_save_post', 20);
If you don’t know how to code, I suggest you hire a developer to help you out with it, and I’d recommend looking for one on https://studio.envato.com/, https://www.upwork.com/, or https://codeable.io/.
Hope this helps 🙂
