Hi there

I’m trying to populate a select-dropdown with values from an acf text field. My code is this:

function dyr_value() {
$field_key = "field_5698caa683247";
$field = get_field_object($field_key);
$dyr = get_field('dyr');

if ($field) return $field['choices'][ $dyr ];

}

But the result is null, nothing, nada … :/

I have adopted the if ($field) from another function where I fetch data from an acf select field; that works…

What I’m doing wrong ?

Cheers,
Adam

Hi @a42

Please take a look at this page: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/dynamically-populate-a-select-fields-choices/.

I hope this helps.

I have moved away from that ‘solution’ and doing this one right now:

function key_value_select( $key ) {
global $wpdb;
   
   $args = array( 'post_type' => 'post' , 'post_status' => 'publish' , 'post_per_page' => -1);
   $getposts = get_posts( $args );

        foreach($getposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post);
            $themeta = get_post_meta($post->ID, $key ,true);
            
            $meta_value  = $themeta;
            $meta_value .= ' => ';
            $meta_value .= $themeta;
            $meta_value .= ' , ';
            
        endforeach;
        
        return $meta_value;
        
}

and in conjuction with the WP Advanced Search framework I get PHP warning >> PHP Warning: array_reverse() expects parameter 1 to be array, string given in …

I have asked at wpas’ support @ github.
