Disable ACF in Backend

Hey there, i’ve recently discovered a backend-error (luckily only on Win XP-IE 8-11). We use the Avia-Template Builder to style the different pages and when we want to insert a image in a text-box, it only responds with a tiny_mce.js error.

Nevertheless we’ve found a dirty workaround: Is it possible to disable all the ACF-Stuff except for a special Post-Type?

I know, you can enable/disable the customfields based on pages, categories… but the backend still loads the js & css – stuff!

Hi @pixelsmart

Is the issue stemming from an ACF field, or is the ‘image insert’ a part of the Avia-Template Builder plugin?

You should be able to hook into the “acf/input/admin_enqueue_scripts” action as documented here http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/actions/acfinputadmin_enqueue_scripts/

and register the ACF scripts.

The ACF scripts are:
‘acf-input’
‘acf-datepicker’

and the styles are
‘acf-global’
‘acf-input’
‘acf-datepicker’

Hope that helps.

P.S. I would also contact the developer of the other plugin to ask that they provide compatibility with ACF

Thanks

Hey Elliot, thanks for your fast reply.

Dequeue-ing the .js files works, but now i get the error
“Uncaught ReferenceError: acf is not defined”

the Admin-Page still loads some .js stuff:

<script type="text/javascript">
(function($) {

	// vars
	acf.post_id = 3590;
	acf.nonce = "341a2fa2dd";
	acf.admin_url = "http://beta.qm-leinerstift.de/wp-admin/";
	acf.ajaxurl = "http://beta.qm-leinerstift.de/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php";
	acf.wp_version = "3.7.1";
	
	
	// new vars
	acf.o = {"post_id":3590,"nonce":"341a2fa2dd","admin_url":"http:\/\/beta.qm-leinerstift.de\/wp-admin\/","ajaxurl":"http:\/\/beta.qm-leinerstift.de\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php","wp_version":"3.7.1"};

})(jQuery);	
</script>

Hi @pixelsmart

Yes, the acf object needs to exist for some variables. Perhaps you can define it like so:

acf = {};

If you put that in your js file or even in an inline script tag on the admin page, ACF should work.

Thanks
