First of all I want to thank Elliot for this awesome plugin and all devs on this forum for the plenty answers I found here and used in my work. But for now I ran into problem I can’t resolve. Please give an advice.
I need two forms in one with two actions. Guest creates post through form and register himself.
I got two groups of ACF “Company representative registration” with 2 fields: email(which is login too) and password and “Company description”.
I tried to combine this thread for creating user with existing form for creating post, but could not get it work together.
I guess I need smth like, but how?
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
if ( email_exists( $author_email ) ) {
// email has an account
require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/ms-functions.php');
$userid = get_user_id_from_string( $author_email );
}
else {
// create an account with acf_form #1
) ;
wp_set_password($last_name, $user_id);
}
}
else {
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
}
// create custom post type "company" with acf_form #2
}
//SAVE THE POST
$pid = wp_insert_post($new_post, true);
//POST THE POST YO
do_action('wp_insert_post', 'wp_insert_post');
and just 1 button for both actions.
Hi @sabrinaze,
Thanks for the post.
I believe the logic to check if the email has an account should be added to your template where you are calling the acf_form() function.
You can then leave the wp_insert_post() action to the acf/pre_save_post so that the post data can be added to the database once the user passed the validation.
