On a WordPress website I would like to have a form where users can submit data about courses they are offering, but some offer more and different courses than others. Therefor, I would like to give them an option to add another field to the form, so it would look a bit like the following. The basic form would look like this:
Course name (text field) - language (dropdown) - date (date picker or text field)
But if a user offers 2 courses, they would be able to press a button like ‘add row’ and it would give them the same row of three fields again. Looking like
Course name 1 - language - date [add row]
Course name 2 - language - date [add row]
But also, if a user offers 1 course, but in 2 languages and on 3 dates, they should be able to enter that, looking like
Course 1 - language 1 [add language]- date 1[add date][add row]
language 2 [add language]- date 2[add date][add row]
date 3[add date][add row]
Course 2 - language 1 [add language]- date 1[add date][add row]
language 2 [add language]- date 2[add date][add row]
language 3 [add language]
And so on and so forth…
Would it be possible to do this with ACF and how?
Purchase ACF Pro and use the repeater field. http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/pro
Ok, thank you for that.
Could you give me some directions on how to use this repeater fields and how to make them frontend facing?
See acf_form for adding forms on the front of your site https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf_form/ The repeater is documented here https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/repeater/ If you have any specific question about either let us know.
So, I went to this page:
https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/create-a-front-end-form/
And copied the acf_form_head and the acf_form codes in the example to my single.php file. Reloaded my page. Nothing happened.
Could you give me a somewhat more ‘for dummies’ guide on how to start on this?
