First off, my coding skills are upper white belt at best.
I’m trying to allow only certain users to edit a pages content that essentially has no set author per say via front page AFC form.
I’ve created a repeater “content_editors” that is made up of users that the admin can add to a given post/page.
So I’m thinking of a way to do something like the following:
If current user ID matches an ID in the “content_editors” repeater,
Show the front end form.
Any recommendations on whats the best way to accomplish this?
I’ve gotten as far as getting the ID’s from the repeater.
<?php
// check if the repeater field has rows of data
if( have_rows('content_editors') ):
// loop through the rows of data
while ( have_rows('content_editors') ) : the_row();
$user_id = get_sub_field('editor_user')[ID];
// display a sub field value
print_r($user_id);
endwhile;
else :
// no rows found
echo 'nada';
endif;
?>
Also I’ve been able to show the form based on is author or custom role.
The issue is using a role(s) isn’t granular enough.
<?php
// set vars
$postAuthor = $post->post_author;
$currentUserID = get_current_user_id();
// if user is match
if ( $postAuthor == $currentUserID OR current_user_can('administrator') OR in_array( 'site_contributor', (array) $current_user->roles ) ) {
acf_form(array(
'post_title' => true,
'post_content' => true,
//'field_groups' => array('group_576d54e22b7bb'),
'fields' => array('year','pub_date','pub_type','pub_keywords','pub_url','pub_publisher','published_meta','pub_authors','pub_contact','pub_contacts','local_file','pub_gallery','afc_featuredImage'),
'submit_value' => 'Save Changes'
));
}
?>
Any information is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
