Marko,
The solution I eventually came up with was to export my base set of fields as a json file. In my plugin I can then import that set of json fields, then edit them in the admin at will. Here is a chunk of my code that you may find useful:
<?php
function update_fields_from_json(){
// Find local JSON directory named 'fields'
$dir = new DirectoryIterator( dirname(__FILE__) . '/fields' );
// there should only be one json file in the fields folder (in my case)
foreach( $dir as $file ) {
if ( !$file->isDot() && 'json' == $file->getExtension() ) {
$json = json_decode( file_get_contents( $file->getPathname() ), true );
// if importing an auto-json, wrap field group in array
if( isset($json['key']) ) {
$json = array( $json );
}
foreach( $json as $field_group ) {
// group key is in the json file
$existing_fields = _acf_get_field_group_by_key("group_57796a3bdfb15");
// if the fields don't exist in the db import them now
if(!$existing_fields){
new jvp_acf_admin_notice('Adding All JVP ACF Fields');
acf_import_field_group($field_group);
}
}
}
}
}
?>
