Problem:
There are fields in group existing:
A
B
C
For each field created I need something like Ax and Ay in other field group.
Is it possible to make this process automatic?
I mean, when I add some field to one fields group (D) and for example some filter usage would add new fields (Dx and Dy)into other group.
Hi @razider
I believe you can use the acf/update_field_group and acf_update_field() function to do that. Here’s a simple example you can try:
add_action('acf/update_field_group', 'my_acf_add_custom_field');
function my_acf_add_custom_field($field_group){
// set ID of field groups you want to update
$field_group_ids = array(4002);
// loop through the IDs
foreach( $field_group_ids as $field_group_id ){
// set the new field data
$field = array(
'key' => 'field_1',
'label' => 'Sub Title',
'name' => 'sub_title',
'type' => 'text',
'parent' => $field_group_id
);
// add the field
$field_id = acf_update_field($field);
}
}
I hope this helps 🙂
I will check this tommorow, but I’m pretty sure it will work. Thank you (thank you thank you thank you) very much.
One more question.
This $field array, where can I find how (for example)integer field is built?
I mean those labels, types etc.
Hi @razider
You can check the field data by using the field group ID like this:
echo "<pre>";
// get the field group data by using the ID
$fields = acf_get_fields(99);
// loop and print the fields data
foreach( $fields as $field ){
// print it
print_r($field);
}
echo "</pre>";
Where “99” is the field group ID.
I hope this helps 🙂
Meh. Thats logical. 😀 I should came up with this solution.
Now I should be fine. Thank you for support don James!
