Hi All,
I would like to create an Employee Information form. This form would contain a whole range of questions with a number of different sections. I would then like to be able to filter by section. E.g.
–Personal Info–
Name:
Address:
–Licences–
Drivers Licence:
Crane Licence:
–Resume–
Resume Attachment:
At the moment I have setup Field Groups for each section and created corresponding Post Types. This works but is cumbersome as it means I need add a separate post for each section. What I would like to do is have a single post with all the questions but be able to assign certain fields to their corresponding category that way I can run a filter to just display the licences of all staff.
Is this possible?
Cheers,
Dan
Hi @hexardan
Hmm… It may not be possible to assign a category to a field. ACF does not have such a functionality.
May be you could consider a different implementation: Attach all the field groups to a single post, then use meta_query to query the fields and get_field(…) or the_field(…) to display the fields’ value on your templates.
Have a look at this tutorial for more info on this: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/query-posts-custom-fields/
Hope this helps 🙂
Thanks James.
That sounds like a possible work around.
The problem I then have is with filtering.
Here’s a link to what i’ve created so far (it’s rough):

I’m using the Search & Filter plugin.
