Hello,
Im using ACF to create new posts in my custom post type. I also want users to be able to edit posts that they have submitted. Creating new posts works fine and content is passed through successfully. When I attempt to edit a submitted post from the front end, the form shows completely blank, including the post title field. So If I Submit it after editing it creates a new blank post.
I need the form to show the data that was previously entered including the post title, and when I hit submit I need it to update the content.
Right now im including this on both my add-page.php and my edit-page.php
Custom Template:
—
<?php
$new_post= array(
'post_id' => 'firm-profile', // Unique identifier for the form
// PUT IN YOUR OWN FIELD GROUP ID(s)
'field_groups' => array(594), // Create post field group ID(s)
'form' => true,
'html_before_fields' => '',
'html_after_fields' => '',
'submit_value' => 'Submit Post',
'updated_message' => 'This Post Was Saved, Please Add A New Firm',
'return' => '%post_url%',
);
acf_form( $new_post);
?>
<?php acf_form(); ?>
Functions.php
—
add_filter('acf/pre_save_post', 'save_post_from_frontend');
function save_post_from_frontend( $post_id) {
//Check if user loggin or can publish post
if( ! ( is_user_logged_in() || current_user_can('publish_posts') ) ) {
return;
}
// check if this is to be a new post
if( $post_id!= 'firm-profile') {
return $post_id;
}
$post= array(
'post_type' => 'providers', // Your post type ( post, page, custom post type )
'post_status' => 'publish', // (publish, draft, private, etc.)
'post_title' => $_POST['acf']['field_5e0b90db10390'],
'return' => '%post_url',
);
// insert the post
$post_id= wp_insert_post( $post);
$_POST['return'] = add_query_arg( array('post_id' => $post_id), $_POST['return'] );
return $post_id;
}
