Hi, I’m wondering if there is an API function where I can update the default value for a particular field object.
The scenario is that a user will choose their stylesheet from an options page, and based on their choice I want to update the color picker field objects default values. I have all of the field keys.
Any help would be appreciated! Also, this is a spectacular plugin. Thanks!
I managed to do it by using the method below, but would like to know if there is a better way to do this.
function acf_load_red_color($field) {
$field['default_value'] = '#EA2830';
return $field;
}
function acf_load_green_color($field) {
$field['default_value'] = '#219BA6';
return $field;
}
function acf_load_blue_color($field) {
$field['default_value'] = '#000000';
return $field;
}
$style = get_field('base_style', 'option');
if($style == 'red') {
add_filter( 'acf/load_field/key=field_53bd8ce3bfc22', 'acf_load_red_color' );
add_filter( 'acf/load_field/key=field_53bbfc499145f', 'acf_load_red_color' );
} elseif ($style == 'green') {
add_filter( 'acf/load_field/key=field_53bd8ce3bfc22', 'acf_load_green_color' );
add_filter( 'acf/load_field/key=field_53bbfc499145f', 'acf_load_green_color' );
} elseif ($style == 'blue') {
add_filter( 'acf/load_field/key=field_53bd8ce3bfc22', 'acf_load_blue_color' );
add_filter( 'acf/load_field/key=field_53bbfc499145f', 'acf_load_blue_color' );
}
Hi guys.
The above solution is good, and the other way to do it is to update the field’s setting using the acf_update_field function.
First use acf_get_field(‘field_key’) to load the field, modify the settings and then use acf_update_field($field) to update it back into the DB
