Hi Elliot,
I have a frontend form for posting new content type. The post title and description is added by the default wordpress fields. Now I am able to include the post title textfield, but am unable to include the wp_editor() just after the title field. I guess this is because wp_editor does not return anything and renders the TinyMCE editor. How do I achieve this?
Here is my code below:
$settings = array(
'textarea_name' => 'content',
'media_buttons' => false,
'quicktags' => false,
'tinymce' => array(
'theme_advanced_buttons1' => 'formatselect,|,bold,italic,underline,|,' .
'bullist,blockquote,|,justifyleft,justifycenter' .
',justifyright,justifyfull,|,link,unlink,|' .
',spellchecker,wp_fullscreen,wp_adv'
)
);
$options = array(
'post_id' => 'new', // post id to get field groups from and save data to
'field_groups' => array(75), // this will find the field groups for this post (post ID's of the acf post objects)
'form' => true, // set this to false to prevent the <form> tag from being created
'form_attributes' => array( // attributes will be added to the form element
'id' => 'post',
'class' => '',
'action' => '',
'method' => 'post',
),
'return' => add_query_arg( 'updated', 'true', get_permalink() ), // return url
'html_before_fields' => '<h2>Add New Post</h2><input type="text" name="post_title" size="30" id="title" placeholder="Enter title here" autocomplete="off"><textarea class="wp-editor-area" style="height: 360px; resize: none; display: none;" cols="40" name="content" id="content" aria-hidden="true"></textarea>' . wp_editor( $content, 'frontendform', $settings ), // html inside form before fields
'html_after_fields' => '', // html inside form after fields
'submit_value' => 'Submit', // value for submit field
'updated_message' => 'Post updated.', // default updated message. Can be false to show no message
);
if (is_user_logged_in()) {
acf_form( $options );
}
Resolved by using ob_start() and ob_get_clean().
ob_start();
wp_editor( $content, 'frontendform', $settings );
$editor_contents = ob_get_clean();
Hi @bekar09
Thanks for posting the solution!
yes, for now, this is the only way to accomplish it. I’ll add in some actions so that there is a nicer experience to customize the form elements
Thanks
