Hello,
I want to create user based “read later” list.
I’ve created a ACF relationship field in the user profile – but now I’m not sure how to proceed. Should I create a discrete PHP file which will be called via AJAX ? I think that in this case the WP enviroment is not loaded and I cant use the WP oder ACF functions ? Or should I write a PHP function in functions.php ?
I think I will need something like this:
$user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_id = $user->ID;
$readlater = get_field('user_readlater', "user_{$user_id}", false);
// see if the value is already added, if not add it
if (!in_array($post_id, $downloads)) {
$readlater[] = $post_id;
// and update the field
update_field('user_readlater', $readlater, "user_{$user_id}");
}
Cloud anone give me a hint?
