Hello, I try to create a simple contact form with ACF and send a mail, here is my code in the page:
<?php acf_form_head(); ?>
<?php acf_form(); ?>
and in function.php:
add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_save_post');
function my_save_post() {
if( is_admin() ) {
return;
}
$name = get_field('name');
$email = get_field('email');
// email data
$to = '[email protected]';
$headers = 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $email . '>' . "\r\n";
$subject = 'answer';
$body = 'general text';
wp_mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers );
}
It works fine but I want to add a select field with values from database in the form (I mean a non-ACF field, I want to add it with code), but I don’t find a way to do that, any ideas?
Thanks a lot!
You would need to use a select field and you can populate the field https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/dynamically-populate-a-select-fields-choices/
You can also have ACF output the form without form tags
<!-- you need to supply the form tags with all correct attributes -->
<form><!-- add correct attributes to this tags -->
<!-- add a field before or after acf fields -->
<input type="text" name="my-field" value="" />
<?php
// call acf form
acf_form('form' => false);
?>
</form>
That’s great, thanks a lot for your help !
John what if we only want to include custom fields and no fields from acf_form, how can we do that?
Really great John. Thank you. Just what I needed and works perfectly! Love ACF!!
