Hi I have tried to set a title for an acf_form I have in a page template but no title is showing in the admin, this is my code:
<?php
$args = array(
'post_id' => "new_post",
'field_groups' => array(62),
'updated_message' => false,
'new_post' => array(
'post_title' => $_POST['acf']['field_5ff5921bc7f1c'] . " - " . $_POST['acf']['field_5ff59276c7f1d'] . "Date:" . $_POST['acf']['field_5ff5869624818'] . "-" . $_POST['acf']['field_5ff586ba24819'],
'post_type' => 'loads',
'post_status' => 'draft'
),
'submit_value' => __("Register", 'acf')
);
acf_form($args); ?>
The only part being set as the title is ‘Date:’ which is hard coded. Can anyone help.
As an example, this will set the post title on save or update from input fields.
<?php // SET TITLE ON SAVE & UPDATE
function my_post_title_updater($post_id) {
if ( get_post_type( $post_id ) == 'account' ) {
$my_post = array(
'ID' => $post_id,
'post_title' => get_field( 'last_name', $post_id ) . ', ' . get_field( 'first_name', $post_id ),
);
wp_update_post( $my_post );
}
}
add_action('acf/save_post', 'my_post_title_updater', 20); // run after ACF saves the $_POST['fields'] data
?>
$_POST[‘acf’][‘field_5ff5921bc7f1c’] has no value when acf_form() is called. If you want to set the post title based on fields that are being submitted then you need to do this after the post is created using an acf/save_post action.
