Hi,
i would like to create a new custom field type “phonenumber”.
A field type with 4 input fields (country-prefix, area-code, number, direct-dialing).
My create_field-Function:
function create_field( $field )
{
global $post;
$field = array_merge($this->defaults, $field);
?>
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td><div class="acf-input-prepend"><?= $field['country-prefix']; ?></div></td>
<td><div class="acf-input-wrap"><input type="text" id="<?php echo $field['key']; ?>" class="<?php echo $field['class']; ?> acf-is-prepended" name="<?php echo $field['name']."['country-prefix']"; ?>" value="" placeholder="Landesvorwahl" /></div></td>
<td><?= $field['seperator'] ?></td>
<td><div class="acf-input-wrap"><input type="text" id="<?php echo $field['key']; ?>" class="<?php echo $field['class']; ?>" name="<?php echo $field['name']."['area-code']"; ?>" value="" placeholder="Ortsvorwahl" /></div></td>
<td><?= $field['seperator'] ?></td>
<td><div class="acf-input-wrap"><input type="text" id="<?php echo $field['key']; ?>" class="<?php echo $field['class']; ?>" name="<?php echo $field['name']."['phone-number']"; ?>" value="" placeholder="Nummer" /></div></td>
<td><?= $field['seperator'] ?></td>
<td><div class="acf-input-wrap"><input type="text" id="<?php echo $field['key']; ?>" class="<?php echo $field['class']; ?>" name="<?php echo $field['name']."['direct-dialing']"; ?>" value="" placeholder="Durchwahl" /></div></td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php
}
Unfortunately, nothing is saved…
Has anybody a tip for me?
Now I have managed to store the data.
But now, there is a problem to get the value from the db.
The saved data looks like:
a:4:{s:14:"country_prefix";s:2:"43";s:9:"area_code";s:1:"1";s:12:"phone_number";s:6:"666666";s:14:"direct_dialing";s:4:"0111";}
But, when i debug the $field var at the backend output i only get this data:
Array
(
[seperator] => -
[country-prefix] => +
[key] => field_54848f4ff3185
[label] => test
[name] => fields[field_54848f4ff3185]
[_name] => test
[type] => phonenumber
[order_no] => 26
[instructions] =>
[required] => 0
[id] => acf-field-test
[class] => phonenumber
[conditional_logic] => Array
(
[status] => 0
[rules] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[field] => field_545fc78e1d45a
[operator] => ==
[value] => 0
)
)
[allorany] => all
)
[field_group] => 137
[value] =>
)
The value is missing…
…also in the frontend
Hi @hcmedia
Did you find a solution for this?
Where did you place the debug code to output $field?
Also, what version of ACF are you using?
Thanks
