Hi,
Im working on a new plugin, and for some reason the Select2 select is not showing up.
I didnt find any documentation about how to use Select2 in a plugin I could just read the Post Object field source code. I guess if im turning ui and ajax true it should be working automatically:
$field['ui'] = 1;
$field['ajax'] = 1;
What can be the problem with my code? Its almost the same to Post Object. Should I use css or extra javascript?
Thanks!
Is the select being generated from acf or from your own code? What’s the setup look like? Are there any JS errors in console?
Here is the whole code:
// Change Field into a select
$field['type'] = 'select';
$field['ui'] = 1;
$field['ajax'] = 1;
$field['choices'] = array();
// get sites
$sites = $this->acf_get_sites();
// set choices
if( !empty($sites) ) {
foreach( $sites as $site ) {
//get blog name
$current_blog_details = get_blog_details( array( 'blog_id' => $site['blog_id'] ) );
// append to choices
$field['choices'][ $site["blog_id"] ] = $current_blog_details->blogname;
}
}
// render
acf_render_field( $field );
Its almost the same like the post_object. I have no JS errors. Without ui and ajax its just fine.
@bokorir I’m trying to achieve almost the same result using select2: the main difference is that I’m querying an external source (MongoDB returning json data).
I have copied most of the code from the taxonomy field and I looked at post_object, too.
As you, if I specify
$field['ui'] = 1;
the select field is rendered in the HTML code but it remains hidden.
If I remove the ‘ui’ setting or change it to 0, the select field is shown but it is disabled.
Did you manage to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Roberto
It works by adding this script right after acf.add_action(‘ready append’, function( $el ){}
// field_name
acf.fields.FIELD_NAME = acf.fields.select.extend({
type: 'FIELD_NAME',
});
