Home › Forums › General Issues › Trouble adding custom choices to a select
After many attempts to update choices to a select, I cannot get them to show.
I have no trouble getting the values into the array:
Here is my $field array:
Array
(
[ID] => 34249
[key] => field_58780febd3e05
[label] => Away Roster
[name] => away_roster_display
[prefix] => acf
[type] => select
[value] =>
[menu_order] => 7
[instructions] =>
[required] => 0
[id] =>
[class] =>
[conditional_logic] => 0
[parent] => 11510
[wrapper] => Array
(
[width] => 50
[class] =>
[id] =>
)
[_name] => away_roster_display
[_prepare] => 0
[_valid] => 1
[choices] => Array
(
[0] => Bouchard, Kaleb
[1] => Brown, Alex
[2] => Coutts, Jackson
[3] => Dall, Cameron
[4] => Dana, Jayden
[5] => Desisto, Nate
[6] => Farnham, Dylan
[7] => Henderson, Sam
[8] => Kenefic, Evan
[9] => McCluskey, Connor
[10] => Monk, Jacob
[11] => Morrison, Jacob
[12] => Newell, Kaleb
[13] => Parker, Kohle
[14] => Pinto, Zac
[15] => Robertson, Connor
[16] => Shaw, Dustin
[17] => Tozer, Matt
[18] => White, Noah
)
[default_value] => Array
(
)
[allow_null] => 1
[multiple] => 0
[ui] => 0
[ajax] => 0
[return_format] => value
[placeholder] =>
)
Here is my function. I’ve left out the contents of the array $roster_list:
function roster_base_z($field){
$roster_list = array();
$filterByAway = get_field('away_team_2')->post_title;
$filterByHome = get_field('home_team_2')->post_title;
$field['choices'] = array();
$new = array_filter($roster_list, function ($var) use ($filterByAway) {
return ($var['school'] == $filterByAway);
});
$new1 = array_values($new);
$new2 = array();
for($i = 0; $i < count($new1); $i++){
array_push($new2,$new1[$i]['last_name'].", ".$new1[$i]['first_name']);
}
$field['choices'] = $new2;
return $field;
}
add_filter('acf/load_field/name=away_roster_display', 'roster_base_z', 20);
Any help would be appreciated.
