ACF makes a good combo with Live-Edit

  • Hello,

    Advanced Custom Fields is more useful using it together with your other plugin Live-Edit.

    Live-Edit eases the front-end editing and makes the custom fields editing possible. However, I ever have queries or a support request, I could n’t get reply at the support section at official WordPress repository. May I know if you deal support requests elsewhere?

    Thanks!

  • Hi @sjeev

    I don’t often reply to support on the live edit plugin, as this was a small plugin from some time ago.

    Feel free to ask your question here.

    Thanks

    {
        // must be logged in
if( is_user_logged_in() && current_user_can('author') || current_user_can('administrator'))
        {
            // actions
            add_action('admin_head', array($this,'admin_head'));
            add_action('admin_menu', array($this,'admin_menu'));

            add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', array($this,'wp_enqueue_scripts'));
            add_action('wp_head', array($this,'wp_head'));
            add_action('wp_footer', array($this,'wp_footer'));
            add_action('wp_ajax_live_edit_update_width', array($this, 'ajax_update_width'));
        }
    }

    I tried this code intending to allow authors and admins to edit. But again, the authors have access to all the posts which are not their own.

    So better if you could help me making the plugin work as per the WordPress’s native post access capability. I can also do myself if you guide me through.

  • Hi @sjeev

    The logic above makes sense, so it shouls prevent any of the functionality from running if the user is can not ‘author’.

    Perhaps you need to do some debugging in your code. Perhaps your if statement is not working as intended. You should simplify it and print out some results to make sure the current_user_can function is working correctly.

    Thanks

  • Hi @sjeev

    There is a good topic regarding the current_user_can function here:
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13404284/wordpress-capabilities-and-current-user-can-in-functions-php

    Lets go back to the live edit init function and simplify the code to:

    
<?php 

/*
*  init
*
*  @description: 
*  @created: 7/09/12
*/

function init()
{
	// must be logged in
	if( is_user_logged_in() )
	{
		
		if( current_user_can('author') )
		{
			echo '<pre>';
				print_r('author');
			echo '</pre>';
			die;
		}
		
		
		if( current_user_can('ministrator') )
		{
			echo '<pre>';
				print_r('ministrator');
			echo '</pre>';
			die;
		}
		
		// actions
		add_action('admin_head', array($this,'admin_head'));
		add_action('admin_menu', array($this,'admin_menu'));
		
		
		add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', array($this,'wp_enqueue_scripts'));
		add_action('wp_head', array($this,'wp_head'));
		add_action('wp_footer', array($this,'wp_footer'));
		add_action('wp_ajax_live_edit_update_width', array($this, 'ajax_update_width'));
	}
}

 ?>

    This will now visually display some text so you can see if the if statement is working correctly.

  • I’m guessing the plugin is abandoned? Would be great if it worked with repeaters and layouts. Oh well :/

  • @UnionDesign, not sure if you’re still using ACF, but at least with the current version of ACF5 PRO, I have working Repeater Fields in Live-Edit. I am using some custom code to grab all the fields in a group however, so if vanilla isn’t working out for you (or anyone else who may find this) then you can check out the gist at https://gist.github.com/Daronspence/4ec625d1e371543dfa93

    Hope this helps!

  • @daron, how would I implement this in my template?
    Here’s my template code:

    // check if the repeater field has rows of data
if( have_rows('sections') ):
   				while ( have_rows('sections') ) : the_row();
				//OPEN SECTION
				echo '<section id="' . get_sub_field('section_id') . '">';
					//OPEN CONTAINER
					echo '<div class="container">';
						if( have_rows('rows') ):
   							while ( have_rows('rows') ) : the_row();
								//OPEN ROW
								echo '<div class="row" id="' . get_sub_field("row_id") . '">';
	
									if( have_rows('columns') ):
				
										// loop through the rows of data
										while ( have_rows('columns') ) : the_row();
				
											//OPEN COLUMN
											echo '<div ';
											if(function_exists("live_edit")){ 
												live_edit('column_content');
											};
											echo ' class="'. get_sub_field("column_classes") .'" id="'. get_sub_field("column_id") .'">';
													echo get_sub_field("column_content");
											// Close Column	
											echo '</div>';
										endwhile;
									endif;
							// Close Row
							endwhile;
							echo '</div>';
						//CLose Container
						endif;
					echo '</div>';
				echo '</section>';
			endwhile;
	
  endif;

  • The above template has nested repeater fields.
    I can create sections, which contains rows,which contains columns, with content.
