Hi,
I’m looking for a way to edit multiple posts fields in front end using acf_form.
For now I’ve created a front end form and set the form parameters to false as mentioned in this thread : https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/split-up-an-acf_form-into-a/
But only my last post is saving.
Here is my code :
<form id="acf-form" class="acf-form" action="" method="post">
<div class="table-responsive">
<table class="table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Nom</th>
<th class="accreditation">Accréditation</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php $args = array(
'post_type' => array( 'evenement' ),
);
$evenements = new WP_Query( $args );
if ( $evenements->have_posts() ) {
while ( $evenements->have_posts() ) {
$evenements->the_post(); ?>
<tr>
<td><?php the_title(); ?></td>
<td>
<?php $options = array(
'field_groups' => array('group_5aafe1f54cc6c'),
'updated_message' => false,
'post_id' => $post->ID,
'form' => false,
);
acf_form( $options ); ?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php }
}
wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<div class="acf-form-submit">
<input type="submit" class="acf-button button button-primary button-large" value="Mettre à jour">
<span class="acf-spinner"></span>
</div>
</form>
The problem is that all the fields have the same names/keys, so you have multiple input fields with the same name. The later fields of a name overwrite the earlier fields with the same name. For this reason, editing multiple posts with the same fields will not be possible using acf_form().
Ok thanks for the explanation, is there a way to save fields without reloading page ?
Thanks @hube2 !
That topic helped me.
I was wondering if I could automatically update field without clicking on the update button. This way, each time a field is edited, it’s updated by ajax automatically.
This would solve my problem and avoid client to forget pressing button when editing multiple post.
