Hello
I was just thinking it could be useful if I was able to store a different dataset for each post contributor.
For group edition, you could add a “multi-value” checkbox, for the full group or a single field for instance.
Then for the frontend, you could return an array of values (instead of a single value) for each field, allowing to calculate average, min, max, most used taxonomy, etc… well for user ratting.
It’s just an idea.
Hi @clickpanic
I get what you want.. but I don’t get why?
What kind of data do you want to save from each contributor on a post? Or am I misunderstanding you?
I interpret your idea that you want to let different users add different values to a post in the same field (like user specific inputs).
This is a good interpretation 🙂 (sorry I’m dyslexic)
In fact, I try to make a product review website.
I can of course write specs myself but I’d like that each contributor give their advices / measures / etc… about different points of a product.
For instance
– Is it cheap / stylish / etc … (a score from 0 to 5)
– A verified packed size / weight (a number)
– A short review about reliability (text)
– Best qualities (terms)
– etc…
Then I will display a average score (number fields), the minimum and maximun for weight (number), a list of reviews (text fields), the most used terms, etc…
ACF would become a kind of multi-stars rating plugin, but much more polyvalent.
No problem!
Hmm okay.. Don’t you think you could use comments for this? You can extend comments with ACF to add your own fields as well 🙂
