Has anyone used acf/load_value to pre-populate a bunch of values to a field (in this case, a repeater) on an Options page? I can’t get this to work. No errors thrown, but no magic happening either.
This happens to be a Network install.
I’ve checked that the key names are correct, and now I’m stumped! My best guess here is that because we need to pass the post_id and this is not a post/page, it’s not going to work … ?
Current (failing) code below.
add_filter('acf/load_value/key=field_59e3c01dff5d3', 'ek_option_defaults', 10, 3);
function ek_option_defaults($value, $post_id, $field) {
if ($value === false) {
$value = array(
array(
'field_59e3c02cff5d4' => 'FCCLA',
'field_59e3c031ff5d5' => 'Family, Career and Community Leaders of America',
);
}
return $value;
}
Hi
the filter ‘acf/load_value’ is used when you are calling ‘get_field’ in the frontend i believed. The proper filter you are looking for is ‘acf/prepare_field’.
https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf-prepare_field/
So, your code would look something like:
add_filter('acf/prepare_field/key=field_5a17b5c21950f', 'ek_option_defaults');
function ek_option_defaults($field) {
if ($field['value'] === false) {
$field['value'] = [
[
'field_59e3c02cff5d4' => 'a',
'field_59e3c031ff5d5' => 'a'
],
[
'field_59e3c02cff5d4' => 'b',
'field_59e3c031ff5d5' => 'b'
],
];
}
return $field;
}
Cheers. 😁
