  • Hi Elliot,

    Voila! That was a very good catch. I hope this thread will be useful to others looking for similar solution and I guess this will be helpful to you too while integrating Frontend forms for ACF 5.xx.

    Thanks once again.

  • Here is my HTML markup:

    <form id="post" class="acf-form" action="" method="post" >
               <div style="display:none">
                  <script type="text/javascript">
                     acf.o.post_id = "new";
                  </script>
                  <input type="hidden" name="acf_nonce" value="4ceed66667" />
                  <input type="hidden" name="post_id" value="new" />
                  <input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://localhost:8888/product/submit-product?updated=true" />
                  <div id="wp-acf_settings-wrap" class="wp-core-ui wp-editor-wrap tmce-active">
                     <div id="wp-acf_settings-editor-tools" class="wp-editor-tools hide-if-no-js">
                        <a id="acf_settings-html" class="wp-switch-editor switch-html" onclick="switchEditors.switchto(this);">Text</a>
                        <a id="acf_settings-tmce" class="wp-switch-editor switch-tmce" onclick="switchEditors.switchto(this);">Visual</a>
                        <div id="wp-acf_settings-media-buttons" class="wp-media-buttons"><a href="#" id="insert-media-button" class="button insert-media add_media" data-editor="acf_settings" title="Add Media"><span class="wp-media-buttons-icon"></span> Add Media</a></div>
                     </div>
                     <div id="wp-acf_settings-editor-container" class="wp-editor-container"><textarea class="wp-editor-area" rows="20" cols="40" name="acf_settings" id="acf_settings"></textarea></div>
                  </div>
               </div>
               <div id="poststuff">
                  <div id="titlediv">
                     <div id="titlewrap"><label class="screen-reader-text" id="title-prompt-text" for="title">Enter title here</label><input type="text" name="post_title" size="30" id="title" placeholder="Enter product title here" autocomplete="off"></div>
                  </div>
                  <div id="wp-frontendform-wrap" class="wp-core-ui wp-editor-wrap html-active">......
                  </div>
                  <div id="acf_75" class="postbox acf_postbox default">......
                  </div>
                  <div><input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="products" /></div>
                  <!-- Submit -->
                  <div class="field">
                     <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
                  </div>
                  <!-- / Submit -->
               </div>
               <!-- <div id="poststuff"> -->
            </form>

    The html_after field is <div><input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="products" /></div>

    Thanks.

  • Hi Elliot,

    There is no error in the source except

    <script type='text/javascript'>
/* <![CDATA[ */
var pluploadL10n = {"queue_limit_exceeded":"You have attempted to queue too many files.","file_exceeds_size_limit":"%s exceeds the maximum upload size for this site."........

    .

  • Hi Elliot,

    This is weird. If I set the 'html_after_fields' => '<input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="products"> then it does not invoke the filter acf/pre_save_post. When it is set to empty, it calls the filter properly. Do you have any insights?

    Thanks.

  • Ok. Here is the debug output:

    array(
	'acf_nonce' => '665cc6ffdb',
	'post_id' => 'new',
	'return' => 'http://localhost:8888/product/submit-product?updated=true',
	'acf_settings' => '',
	'post_title' => 'New Product',
	'post_content' => 'New Product details',
	'fields' => array(

		'field_51feea779fcb7' => '',
		'field_520f04f1c58d1' => '',
	) ,
	'post_type' => 'products',
)

    Now I am wondering what’s going wrong. Because it seems the post_type is being set properly. Let me debug some more.

    Thanks.

  • I did a var dump of $_POST like so:

    $post_type = $_POST['post_type'];
    echo 'post type: ' . $post_type . '<br/>';
    echo "<pre>";
    var_dump($_POST);
    echo "</pre>";

    exit();

    but it seems it never reaches here and throws a 404. The only thing that causes this problem is the hidden field. I have the plugin Debug Objects but am not sure how to catch the error here. A little advice would definitely help me debug and tell you the output.

  • Hi Elliot,

    Did you get a chance to look at this post?

    http://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/differentiate-between-post-types-on-acfpre_save_post/

  • Hi Elliot,

    I have set 'html_after_fields' => '<input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="products">' in the form to the options array. In the functions.php, I have $post_type = $_POST['post_type']; to reuse the same form for posting different post types.

    But this is breaking and after submission, it redirects to 404. I think this is because the hidden field is nested inside <div id="poststuff">.

    Is there any way I can move it outside the poststuff div?

    I tried looking at the source in api.php but did not find any way to directly set the post type into the $options array. I think it would be great to have an option to set post_type in the options array and if it is not set, then default it to “post”.

    Thanks.

  • Resolved by using ob_start() and ob_get_clean().

    ob_start();
wp_editor( $content, 'frontendform', $settings );
$editor_contents = ob_get_clean();
