Hi E,
I have one more question pls, here is my js code: http://pastebin.com/hejnDsgg
What I do here is:
1. I have 3 different post types where I want to use this auto populate
2. Every post type has different id for select menu, so I have put their id into variables to make life easier
3. I get selected value from ‘Select Country’
4. I do AJAX to get list of areas and cities for that country
5. I get response as comma seperated (eg: city1,city2,city3)
6. I do with jquery each:
$( '#' + selector_area ).append( $('<option></option>').val(text).html(text) )
This is how I append values as options under my select menu.
Now everything here works fine, but problem is that saved value is not selected or displayed.
Every time I refresh ‘Edit posts’ area is not correct so I need to select area every time I edit and save post.
Any advice please?

Hi,
I’m not quite sure how to do this correct.
– I have function that returns me list of Areas: http://pastebin.com/Y0Z1YPwQ
Function accepts 1 param (Selected country) and that param is passed via ajax, so function returns me array of areas
– Can I somehow now call ‘acf/load_field/’ filter or should I use jquery to populate ‘Areas’ select field?
Thanks in advanced

Hi,
I’m not able to make this work.
I have added:
function my_acf_load_field2( $field )
{
$field['choices'] = array(
'custom' => 'My Custom Choice'
);
return $field;
}
// acf_load_field-{$field_key} - filter for a specific field based on it's key
add_filter('acf_load_field-field_520fa5c4c3ce6', 'my_acf_load_field2');
to my functions.php, but it doesn’t work.
I’m trying to populate select field:
<select id="acf-field-reserve_country" class="select" name="fields[field_520fa5c4c3ce6]">
I use ACF as a plugin.
Doing something wrong?
Hi,
Sorry for late reply.
I’m kind of to busy to think on anything else.
Anyway I have simplified things a little bit I will create special page for areas and special for cities.
Hi elliot,
Everything is on backend, I have this custom post types with 30 custom fields.
If it’s to complicated I will remove city from it and make it input field, then i would have only Country and Area.
I always try to make more user friendly but then I put myself in trouble 😛

Ok, thanks will check it out.
For now I have found my way
Cheers
Hi,
This helps but I don’t see a value user selected, only field info.
Or am I doing something wrong?
Hi,
I have added my custom CSS for now, and it looks better: http://imgur.com/qx6Gw5e and it’s more user friendly.
I think 33% option would do fine.
