I am using ACF to allow logged-in users to use a front-end version of the back-end form.
The ‘value’ fields used to load on the front end just fine but now they do not as of Jan 18, 2016.
I’m using acf load_value to modify the value into a dynamic value, but the code cannot even reach the default value to begin with anymore.
I can still see the value in my back-end forms just not my front-end.
Was something changed recently?
Here is my current modification code:
function my_acf_load_value_title( $value, $post_id, $field ) {
if ( $value = 'Default title' ) {
$value = 'test';
}
return $value;
}
add_filter( 'acf/load_value/key=field_xxx', 'my_acf_load_value_title', 10, 3 );
I am using this within my post_form code to modify the value on the page when it loads and then the form submits the field ‘readonly’ with the value I set for the user.
Any ideas?
Still not sure why the values aren’t loading but I solved the issue.
I was also, in conjunction with the code snippet above using the following ‘prepare_field’ hooks:
function my_acf_prepare( $field ) {
/* this was added to fix above */
$field['value'] = htmlspecialchars($_GET["xxx"]);
/* this was always here */
$field['readonly'] = true;
return $field;
}
add_filter('acf/prepare_field/name=zzz', 'my_acf_prepare');
I just added a ‘value’ $field object into the prepare field code above that just assigns a value to the field during the prepare_field action instead of using ‘load_value’ from above in cojunction with the ‘prepare_field’ hook.
Hope this helps someone else.
