You were actually wonderfully helpful. You helped me realize that I needed to just add another meta query field for the different series’. Now I’ve got it working perfectly! Thank you!

Since you are using the layout custom field, you should probably also take a look at this post…

php-input-variables-exceeded-1000

On complex field groups it is possible for the number of form variables submitted to exceed your web server’s maximum number of allowed variables per post. This happened to me on what seemed like a field group that wasn’t all that big. But once you start repeating layouts, the number of inputs can become quite large.

Until the developers start using a different method of saving data (like I suggested in my post) you will either have to change the configuration of your web server (not always possible on shared web hosting) or figure out a different way to do it.

• In reply to WooCommerce Attribute Image to Single Product

• September 10, 2018 at 4:58 am

Sorry I just realized I should have added it as a code

add_action('woocommerce_single_product_summary',"finish_image",22);

function finish_image() {

$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'pa_metal-finish' );
if($terms) {
   foreach( $terms as $term ) {

  echo '<b>Finish:</b>'. '<img src= '<?php get_field('finish_img', 'pa_metal-finish'. '_' .$term->term_id);' ?>' />'
}
}
}

I am so close, keep coming up with a parce error. What am I doing wrong here? I know it has something to do with the IMG SRC and quotes

add_action(‘woocommerce_single_product_summary’,”finish_image”,22);

function finish_image() {

$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , ‘pa_metal-finish’ );
if($terms) {
foreach( $terms as $term ) {

echo ‘<b>Finish:</b>’. ‘term_id);’ ?>’ />’
}
}
}

• In reply to WooCommerce Attribute Image to Single Product

• September 10, 2018 at 1:47 am

I have gotten the image url to show back up if I give the full path to a single Attribute.

add_action(‘woocommerce_single_product_summary’,”finish_image”,22);

function finish_image() {
echo ‘<b>Finish:</b>’. get_field(‘finish_img’, ‘pa_metal-finish_79’);
}

But I need the code to search though the metal finish attributes to find the one that applies to that Item.

I know its something like the post found here.

but I cant seem to quite figure it out, do you have any insite?

• In reply to Create a new WYSIWYG toolbar

• September 9, 2018 at 5:26 pm

It too confused me at first since the filter kind of sounds like it’s editing the active toolbar but in the documentation of the hook it says:

Once a new toolbar is added to the list, it will then appear in the WYSIWYG field’s options when editing the field group.

So I added the code in your question and sure enough if I go back to edit the Field Group in Custom Fields there’s a new radio button on the WYSIWYG Field labeled ‘Very Simple’ and when selected will only display a toolbar with bold, italic, and underline buttons on it.

• In reply to Hiding elements based on Radio Button selection

• September 9, 2018 at 4:34 pm

A couple questions:

1) Do you mean on the front-end, you’re unsure how to check against the selected radio button?

IF you’re asking questions about the Admin Panel…

2) Are these things ( radio buttons, images ) all part of the same Field Group?

• In reply to Query the same loop in multiple columns

• September 9, 2018 at 4:11 pm

I get what you’re trying to do, and I’ll post the code below with how to do it using a flat array but it’s unclear what the_query is or how it relates to Advanced Custom Fields. Until the actual code you’re using is posted the below may be a good starting point for you:

<?php
$image_array = query(); // Whatever you're using to query the images

// Ensure have an image array to work with
if( ! empty( $image_array ) ) { 
	
	$per_block   = 4;
	$total_items = count( $image_array );
	
	foreach( $image_array as $index => $image_id ) {
		
		$nice_index = $index + 1;		// Arrays start at 0 but count and per block start at 1. Calculate once.
		$start = ( 0 == $index % 4 );	// Calculate if we're at the start
		$end   = ( $nice_index == $per_block || $nice_index == $total_items );	// Check if we've hit the end
		
		// Display Opening Tag
		if( $start ) {
			print( '<div class="col-md-3">' );	
		}

			// Display image by ID
			wp_get_attachment_image( $image_id, 'full' );
		
		// Display Closing Tag
		if( $end ) {
			print( '</div>' );
		}
		
	} // END Foreach
	
} // END Conditional

• In reply to Date-Formatting using 2 Dates

• September 9, 2018 at 3:48 pm

You should be able to hook into the admin footer and add in any kind of datepicker option as you need by field ID:

/**
 * Modify ACF Datepicker Formatted Field
 *
 * @return void
 */
function theme_prefix_admin_footer() {

	?>

		<script>

			jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) {
		
				let $datepicker = $( '#acf-field_5b16a9d5df47c + .hasDatepicker' );
				
				$datepicker.datepicker( 'option', {
					altFormat: 'dd. M yy'
				} );
				
			} );

		</script>

	<?php

}
add_action( 'admin_footer', 'theme_prefix_admin_footer' );

• In reply to Structuring Data for later comparison

• September 9, 2018 at 2:37 pm

I’m not sure if ACF has a field like this ( not that I could see in the basic version anyway ) but this type of thing would work best as a Non Hierarchical Taxonomy with a Select2 type field. Think post tags: it’s searchable, you can assign multiple, and it’s listed out in a formatted easily manageable input for the user to digest. You can control whether the user will be able to create new terms or only select from existing terms. You can populate with AJAX and give them a populated list of options. It seems to make sense for the usecase described.

Terms is pretty efficient when querying because of the relational tables already setup. A custom table and query may be more efficient but would also be more work to setup.

• In reply to Author page to include Post where in User array custom field

• September 9, 2018 at 3:43 am

Thanks John.

I ended up using https://github.com/birgire/wp-combine-queries to blend a mostly-normal author posts query with one showing posts where the user is a participant:

function author_include_when_contributor( $query ) {
    if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && is_author() ) {
        $curauth = (get_query_var('author_name')) ? get_user_by('slug', get_query_var('author_name')) : get_userdata(get_query_var('author'));
        $authorArgs = array(
            'post_type'     =>  array('post', 'podcast', 'resources', 'video'),
            'author'        =>  $curauth->ID,
            'orderby'       =>  'post_date',
            'order'         =>  'ASC',
        );
        $contributorArgs = array(
            'post_type' => array('post', 'podcast', 'resources', 'video'),
            'meta_query' => array(
                array(
                    'key'     => 'participants',
                    'value'   => $curauth->ID,
                    'compare' => 'LIKE'
                ),
            ),
            'orderby'       =>  'post_date',
            'order'         =>  'ASC',
        );
        $query->set( 'combined_query', [        
            'args'   => [ $authorArgs, $contributorArgs ],
            'union'  => 'UNION',
        ]);
    }
    return $query;
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'author_include_when_contributor' );

I also presented the participants using this on the post:

<?php
$contributors = get_field('participants'); // array of arrays of user info
if (!empty($contributors)) {
	foreach ($contributors as $contributor)
	{ ?>
		<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-4 col-xs-2 tac contributor-badge">

					<?php } elseif (get_the_author_meta('author_profile_picture', $contributor )) { ?>
						<img data-object-fit src="<?php echo get_the_author_meta('author_profile_picture', $contributor ); ?>" alt="">
					<?php } else { ?>
						<img data-object-fit src="<?php echo get_avatar( $contributor, 512 ) ?>" alt=""/>
					<?php } ?>
					<?php if ( get_field('secondary_picture', 'user_' . $contributor ) ) { ?>

• In reply to a value retrieved via 'acf/validate_value' is double-backslashed.

• September 9, 2018 at 12:58 am

When validating values you need to take the backslashes into account. No it is not happening only to you, but is the way that the values are passed. This can be caused by your php installation and the “Magic Quotes” setting.

• In reply to Retrieve repeater rows that contains a specific sub field value

• September 9, 2018 at 12:39 am

Querying by a repeater row is problematic. There are literally hundreds of topics on this forum on the subject. There is an example of how to do this on this page, but I don’t know if it still works https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/query-posts-custom-fields/

You should read my opinion on this and then decide how you want to go https://acfextras.com/dont-query-repeaters/

• In reply to Query posts by user relationship field

• September 9, 2018 at 12:20 am

@marcusw I don’t see anything wrong with your query that should cause it to not function. The value of the field should have quotes around it, otherwise a value like this would also return posts

a:3:{i:0;s:1:"5";i:1;s:1:"1";i:2;s:1:"3";}

if the user id you are querying for is “2”, without the quotes the array index 2 would return this post.

The only thing I can think of by looking at your query args is that either $post_type or $current_user_id is incorrect.

Another cause of your issue would be if you originally saved values to the field when it was set to only allow a single user and then you changed the field to allow multiple users. In this case the field value will be holding an integer instead of an array.

This change to the meta query might correct for that

'meta_query'     => array(
  'relation' => 'OR',
  array(
    'key'     => 'shift_volunteers',
    'value'   => '"' . $current_user_id . '"',
    'compare' => 'LIKE'
  ),
  array(
    'key'     => 'shift_volunteers',
    'value'   => $current_user_id,
    'compare' => '='
  ),
),

I suspect my naming conventions are conflicting – should the variable be different for each subfield or does the subfield name itself need to be different.

For anyone who comes across this, the best solution that I found was this tool: https://github.com/mcguffin/acf-quick-edit-fields

This saved me an hour or two of manually updating 181 posts. After installing that plugin, I edited the ACF field and checked off the option “Allow editing this field in Bulk edit mode” then I was able to bulk edit the posts and update the field.

@Jeff For some reason, the fields popped back up on their own and included all the original data stored for that page.

I’ve been encountering this quite a bit the last couple of weeks as well.

The latest site was running 5.7.3 and was showing “Automatic update is unavailable for this plugin” on the Plugins page. I went to Dashboard -> Updates and tried running the update there, which failed saying the package was not available. I refreshed the Updates page using the “Check Again” button, then went back to the main Plugins page and the notice was gone. I was able to successfully update at that point.

Will have to give it a try on the various other sites I’m working on to see if that works consistently.

This $date_field_array = get_field('event_the_date'); only gets a single value from a single post.

To get all values from all posts you first need to do a query to get all the posts, then you need to loop though all of those posts and get the field from each post.

$args = array(/* your query args here */);
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if ($my_query->have_posts()) {
  $dates = array();
  while (($my_query->have_posts()) {
    $my_query->the_post();
    $dates[] = get_field('event_the_date');
  }
  // output dates to JS here
}

Basically you need to look at this https://codex.wordpress.org/AJAX_in_Plugins

When you enqueue the script you do it something like this, please note that this is only an example of the values that will be used. You should really look at the document and read about getting the admim ajax url and all of that

wp_enqueue_style('your-handle', '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=my_custom_css_action');

Then you create an action functin that outputs your dynamic php stylesheet.

You can’t enqueue a php file normally as a stylesheet and have it work.

For example, this will not work

wp_enqueue_style('your-handle', 'your-file.php');

the reason for this is not that WP will not enqueue it or add it to your page. This issue is that no WP or plugin function will be available in this file.

Your 2 choices are to put the custom styles inline in the header of your page or to enqueue the style script using admin-ajax.php
