Hi,
ok, I want a form in a regular page (cpt), set a field as hidden, set the current page_id as value, and dont let the user change the value.
But you can always change the val i code on page.
Been trying everything, it works when i use static numbers, but I cant seem to get current page id to save programmaticly without findind a way so the user cant change value in code.
Its because i want to save current page id as a relation to in new created page with page link.
Is the only way to set like $_SESSION value and then when saving fetch it?
Hi @mr-dan
I believe you can add a hidden input file using the “html_after_fields” option. These pages should give you more idea about it: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf_form/, http://www.w3schools.com/TAGs/att_input_type.asp. After that, you can use the $_POST variable to get the data. This page should give you more idea about it: http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.post.php.
I hope this helps 🙂
Hi, @acf-support thanx for quick answer.
Thats what I’ve done, but u can always edit values in html code, I need to set the ID in code, not from hidden input field, because you can always change value=”old” to value=”new”.
Somehow i need to get the page_id from the page that has acf_form included in it, and user cant be able to change it.
Well, if any one finds a better way to do this, let us know here.
My solution to the problem:
* Start session on the page with included form in it.
* Set $_SESSION variable data with get_the_ID().
* In acf/pre_save_post start session, and sett field val with Session data.
ie. $_POST[‘acf’][‘field’] = $_SESSION[‘static_page_id’];
Hi @mr-dan
I think you can use the HTTP referrer to get the current page URL and then use the url_to_postid() function to convert the URL to the page/post ID. Unfortunately, I haven’t fully tested this method.
Hope this helps 🙂
Thanks @acf-support !
You info let me to use REQUEST_URI instead 🙂
Referer did return the prev url when visiting, or nothing if directly visited.
Referer return:
http://www.domain.com/old_path/
Request return:
/current_real_path/
url_to_postid the return:
id: 48
id: 115 (correct)
