Sorry if this questions is inconsistent with plugins or forum? Its a great plugins. Now I have a custom taxonomy named “Rent”, unfortunately I need to takes its value as text from frontend, means people can fill their rent amount in frontend for new post.
I don’t know PHP, know something in HTML, I change some code of your taxonomy.php file. I add
elseif( $this->field['field_type'] == 'text' )
{
$output = '<li><label class="selectit"><input type="text" name="' . $this->field['name'] . '" value="" ' . ($selected ? 'readonly="readonly"' : '') . ' autocomplete="off" /> </label></li>';
}
with "function start_el ()" and add
'text' => __('Text', 'acf')
with option choices.
that take input for tags from frontend, but not for custom taxonomy “Rent”.
Is it possible ?
I am very very pleased if you answer me.
Hi @shatilarefin,
Can you please wrap your code in backticks so it is formatted and easier to read.
I am not 100% sure what you are asking here but it sound like you want to be able to let your customers input their own data. This is not a simple change and you will need to be confident with PHP to achieve this functionality.
Here is a good place to start => http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/getting-started/displaying-custom-field-values-in-your-theme/
Good luck. 🙂
I know how to display “custom fields” or “custom taxonomy”, question about how to insert data into “custom taxonomy” from frontend. Their is any javascript function or anything. Its too complex, …
Hi @shatilarefin
ACF provides some basic support for submitting data from the front end. You can read about it here:
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/tutorials/using-acf_form-to-create-a-new-post/
If you wish to code this manually, you can use the update_field function:
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/functions/update_field/
There is no JS function to get, or update a value. Only PHP functions are available.
Thanks

I add bellow code to the theme function.php
$post = array(
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_title' => $_POST["fields"]['field_52e6af7f6f4b8'] ,
'post_content' => $_POST["fields"]['field_52e6af906f4b9'],
'post_type' => 'post'
);
// insert the post
$post_id = wp_insert_post( $post );
update_field('field_52e6afd36f4bc', $_POST['field_52e6afd36f4bc'], $post_id);
// update $_POST['return']
$_POST['return'] = add_query_arg( array('post_id' => $post_id), $_POST['return'] );
// return the new ID
return $post_id;
}
where “field_52e6afd36f4bc” is the field key of custom taxonomy “rent”. I don’t understand what is update_field()’s $value for frontend new post, where user insert a value, not like the example- $value=”some string”.
And where I put update_field(), into function.php or templete.php.
Hi @shatilarefin
I have a few questions regarindg your code:
1. The code should be wrapped in a filter for acf/pre_save_post
2. This is a filter for the acf_form function
3. Are you using the acf_form function?
4. If so, what $options are you using in the acf_form function?
5. Have you debugged your code?
6. There is an issue with your code: $_POST['field_52e6afd36f4bc'] should be $_POST['fields']['field_52e6afd36f4bc']
Thanks

1. don’t understand
2. understand
3. yes
4. in attachment
5. yes
6. understand
Its complicated, I have a second thought, its easily define title of a post by using 'post_title' => $_POST["fields"]['field_52e6af7f6f4b8']
As like this, can I define field for custom taxonomy “rent”, 'rent' => $_POST["fields"]['field_52e6afd36f4bc'] or for post Tags 'post_tag' => $_POST["fields"]['field_52ee3572071cd']
where field_52e6afd36f4bc or field_52ee3572071cd is custom text field.
If second thought is possible, first is dismissed.
Thanks for holiday replay.
Hi @shatilarefin
Your field key for ‘rent’ is different to the code you have posted above. Please double check that your field keys are correct.
To better understand that acf/pre_save_post filter, you can read this tutorial:
