Loop on location fields : dynamically creation

Hi,

Is it possible to dynamically set location for custom fields ?

Instead of :

    'location' => array (
        array (
            array (
                'param' => 'page',
                'operator' => '==',
                'value' => '1696',
            ),
        ),
        array (
            array (
                'param' => 'page',
                'operator' => '==',
                'value' => '1762',
            ),
        ),
    ),

something like :

foreach($ids as $id){
    'location' => array (
        array (
            array (
                'param' => 'page',
                'operator' => '==',
                'value' => $id,
            ),
        ),
}

I can’t find how to write it inside PHP field generated code. I want to do that cause I can get ids of my translated pages (Polylang) so I want to affect dynamically my customs fields to these pages.

Maybe can I reaffect location after…? (how…?)

Thanks for any help.

Hi @manhattanjazz

I believe you can do it like this:

if( function_exists('acf_add_local_field_group') ):
    $ids = array('66','691');
    $args = array (
        ...
        ...
        ...
        'location' => array (
            array (
                array (
                    'param' => 'page',
                    'operator' => '==',
                    'value' => '815',
                ),
            ),
        ),
        ...
        ...
        ...
    );

    foreach( $ids as $id ){
        $args['location'][] = array (
            array (
            'param' => 'page',
            'operator' => '==',
            'value' => $id,
            ),
        );
    }

    acf_add_local_field_group($args);

endif;

I hope this helps.

Thanks a lot.
I’ll come later to say if it allows me to perfectly use Polylang with ACF.

So, last but not least :
It works ^^
I can now dynamically assign my ACF custom fields in each Polylang language, thanks to you.
