Any tips on how to add custom field types to theme’s ACF? I can download https://github.com/elliotcondon/acf-field-type-template and add it as a plugin, but I would prefer to include it into my theme/acf folder
. Adding it to the fields folder seems not the right way either as that directory will be overridden so perhaps elsewhere in the theme, but not sure then how I would load it. Any recommended ways for this?
You just need to include the main file from your new plugin. For example if you added the folder /your-theme/acf/my-cusomt-field-type in functions php you would do something like
indclude (dirname(__FILE__).'/acf/my-cusomt-field-type/acf-my-custom-field-type.php');
Yeah, I thought it would be something like that. Thanks for sharing this @John Huebner!
