I have a custom dropdown field that I would like to pre-populate within options from the admin Customizer, I am using the Kirki Toolkit to create the options in the Customizer adding them into a single textarea field/variable each option separated by a comma like;
option_1,option_2,option_3
I then have access to this as a single variable, how can I use this to populate a custom field, I have seen this article
https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/dynamically-populate-a-select-fields-choices/
but it is in reference to the options page created by ACF, so I am not sure how to add for example choice_1 as;
choice1 => Choice 1
Any help is greatly appreciated.
It would work the same say, but you’ll need to convert the value returned from the other plugins textarea to an array of choices. This is a basic example of the code you’d use in the load field filter:
$values = get_value_from_kirki_toolkit(); // get the text value
$values = explode(',', $values); // split the string into an array
$values = array_map('trim', $values); // trim all the values
foreach ($values as $value) {
$field['choices'][$value] = $value;
}
return $field;
