Hello. I have managed to create custom field types using ACF Pro and used a couple of tutorials to place the form fields on a front-end page to gather user data and store it on the database. The form displays fine and even validates ‘required’ fields if i leave them empty but when i click the submit button nothing happens. no page reload, nothing! i will post my code below. PLEASE HELP. I NEED THIS.
Page_template.PHP
acf_form_head();
add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'tsm_deregister_admin_styles', 999 );
function tsm_deregister_admin_styles() {
// Bail if not logged in or not able to post
if ( ! ( is_user_logged_in() || current_user_can('publish_posts') ) ) {
return;
}
wp_deregister_style( 'wp-admin' );
}
<div class="add_feed_form"><?php
// Bail if not logged in or able to post
if ( ! ( is_user_logged_in()|| current_user_can('publish_posts') ) ) {
echo 'You must be a registered author to post.
';
return;
}
$new_post = array(
'post_id' => 'new', // Create a new post
'field_groups' => array(4195), // Create post field group ID(s)
'form' => true,
'return' => '%post_url%', // Redirect to new post url
'html_before_fields' => '',
'html_after_fields' => '',
'submit_value' => 'Publish feed',
'updated_message' => 'Feed Successfully created!'
);
acf_form( $new_post );
?>
</div> <?php //end citizen form div ?>
functions.php
<?php
/**
* Back-end creation of new candidate post
* @uses Advanced Custom Fields Pro
*/
add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'tsm_do_pre_save_post' );
function tsm_do_pre_save_post( $post_id ) {
// Bail if not logged in or not able to post
if ( ! ( is_user_logged_in() || current_user_can('publish_posts') ) ) {
return;
}
// check if this is to be a new post
if( $post_id != 'new' ) {
return $post_id;
}
// Create a new post
$post = array(
'post_type' => 'citizen_feed', // Your post type ( post, page, custom post type )
'post_status' => 'publish', // (publish, draft, private, etc.)
'post_title' => wp_strip_all_tags($_POST['acf']['field_570e19d9c34b5']), // Post Title ACF field key
'post_content' => $_POST['acf']['field_570e189cc34b4'], // Post Content ACF field key
);
// insert the post
$post_id = wp_insert_post( $post );
// Save the fields to the post
do_action( 'acf/save_post' , $post_id );
return $post_id;
}
?>
