Is it possible to access all values for an ACF Checkbox field available in the ‘Choices’ field settings?
Using get_field_object / get_field etc seem to only return results for a single post and haven’t been able to access settings values via the ‘options’ argument.
Many thanks in advance,
Ryan
You can use like this:
//Get all items from fieldname
$fieldname = get_field('fieldname', $current_user);
$id = get_the_ID();
$field = get_field_objects($current_user);
$field_name = $field["field_name"]["name"];
if( $field ){
foreach ( $field["fieldname"]['choices'] as $key => $value) {
if ( in_array( $key, $newsletter ) ) {
$checked = 'checked';
}else{
$checked = '';
}
echo '<p class="field"><input type="checkbox" '.$checked.' name="'.$field_name.'" value="'.$key.'">'.$value.'</p>';
}
}
Passing in a user ID would lead to the same inconsistencies as using a post ID in my use case. I can’t assume that each author would have used each of the values of the ACF checkbox to populate the filter dropdown.
Additionally, this would fail in the context where a user is not logged in, or is a user without an actual author account – hence why I am hoping to access the ‘Options’ page or DB reference for the field.
