Hi Eliott, and thanks for your plugins !
First of all, i’m a real noob on WP…
I’m trying to use taxonomy fields like categories metaboxes. In other words, i’d like to add a “add new” button under the field, so that users (e.g. autors) can either select values already saved, or add a new value, while creating a new post.
Is it possible with ACF ?
A possible solution (?) : use taxonomy fields and metaboxes together. If a value doesn’t exist, the user adds it to the regular metabox, and the value is added to the taxonomy field. I have tried that way, but there is a update issue (the field is not updated after a new value has been created).
Do you know a trick ? I suppose JS can be very helpfull here
Thanks !
I may have found somehting :
in wp-admin\include\meta-boxes.php, search <p> markup with the class
class="category-add wp-hidden-child"
on <input type="button" add a onclick :
<input type="button" onclick="refresh_taxonomy_field_<?php echo $taxonomy; ?>();"
after this, add a JS :
<?php
echo '<script type="text/javascript">
function refresh_taxonomy_field_'.$taxonomy.'() {
var new_val = document.getElementById("new'.$taxonomy.'").value;
var acf_field = document.getElementById("acf-field-'.$taxonomy.'");
var opt = document.createElement("option");
opt.value = new_val;
opt.innerHTML = new_val;
acf_field.appendChild(opt);
}
</script>';?>
not very clean, but it works !
