Using front-end editor

  • I have a few question about the front-end editor (which is very nice, by the way). Is it possible to include a preview button?
    Is it possible to wrap some of the elements with additional HTML?

    Thanks

  • Hi @koolkatwebdesigns

    preview button
    – This is not a builtin functionality of ACF so the simple answer is no. That said, it is always possible to create custom functionality. So you could create a submit button which uses a custom submit function. This function could create a new autosave and then redirect to a url with the preview ID. This would require a lot of logic and will not be easy.

    additional HTML
    – Yes, please look over the docs for the acf_form function, you will see a before and after argument where you can add to the HTML

    Cheers

  • Thanks for your answer. I realize that I did not put one part of my questions correctly…
    Can I wrap just some of the html elements in a div so that I would have a div as a container for some of the fields. Hope this makes sense

    thanks again.

  • Hi @koolkatwebdesigns

    Unfortunately, this is not possible with the PHP options available. You will have to use jQuery to wrap the selected elements.

    Thanks
