Also, it’s creating an endless loop of these “articles” instead of just grabbing the ones selected in the Repeater Field (currently there are only 5 selected)

Ahhhhhh!!! Thank you!
So, now I don’t get an error, but I’m also not getting any bits of the object. I thought I was grabbing the page ID and title with that code.

I don’t *think* I still have the errant acf/save_post you mention. But I concede that I simply may not be seeing it.

Ok. I’ve gotten rid of the error message (there was one $vbs_post_ey that I’d forgotten to change).
BUT, now I’m getting the slug writing correctly, but it’s not including the post type in order to reference the correct single post template. In other words, for an ‘en’ submission it’s giving a path like this: http://www.website.com/stripped-slug instead of http://www.website.com/en/stripped-slug
That said, it now works fine for the ‘ey’ post type. Not sure why it works for one but not the other…
-
(my apologies…when I first responded, I wasn’t getting the errors. Then I realized I hadn’t copied the top portion of the code you’d provided. After adding that, I got the errors)
-
This *feels* like it’s getting close. I’d started something similar that was doing pretty much exactly this. It’s still creating the posts in the backend though.
I’d been doing the if statements using “church_name” and “church_name2” fields. Exactly the same results though. Yours, using the post type itself, is more elegant I think, though.
The one thing from your code above that I changed was $vbs_ey_post to $vbs_post – and I kept it that way in both form pages as well.
BUT, this is the error I wind up with: Warning: array_merge(): Argument #2 is not an array in /home/ccharacternew/public_html/childmin/wp-includes/post.php on line 3592
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/path/wp-includes/post.php:3592) in /home/path/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1167

All was working sooooo swimmingly! I was thrilled! Until…
The client has asked for several related custom post types. They require different types of titles. I thought I could just duplicate the functions used above making minor modifications so they were unique, but it breaks the whole thing. There’s gotta be some sort of syntax I’m missing here to make it happen.
Here’s what I’ve got:
Functions.php
//Auto add and update Title field for English/Yes form: function vbs_post_title_updater( $post_id ) { // get the church name $new_title_church_name = get_field('church_name', $post_id); // get the selected date and the current date $new_title_date = get_field('start_date', $post_id); $new_title_date = new DateTime($new_title_date); // set the title $new_title = $new_title_church_name . ' - ' . $new_title_date->format('M j, Y'); $new_slug = sanitize_title( $new_title ); // create the update data holder $vbs_ey_post = array(); $vbs_ey_post['ID'] = $post_id; $vbs_ey_post['post_title'] = $new_title; $vbs_ey_post['post_name'] = wp_strip_all_tags($new_slug); //Unhook function to prevent infitnite looping remove_action('acf/save_post', 'vbs_post_title_updater', 20); // Update the post into the database wp_update_post( $vbs_ey_post ); //Rehook function to prevent infitnite looping add_filter('acf/save_post', 'vbs_post_title_updater', 20); } // run after ACF saves the $_POST['fields'] data add_action('acf/save_post', 'vbs_post_title_updater', 20); //Auto add and update Title field for English/No form: function vbs_post_title_updater2( $post_id2 ) { // get the church name $new_title_church_name2 = get_field('church_name2', $post_id2); // set the title $new_title2 = $new_title_church_name2; $new_slug2 = sanitize_title( $new_title2 ); // create the update data holder $vbs_en_post = array(); $vbs_en_post['ID'] = $post_id2; $vbs_en_post['post_title'] = $new_title2; $vbs_en_post['post_name'] = wp_strip_all_tags($new_slug2); //Unhook function to prevent infinite looping remove_action('acf/save_post', 'vbs_post_title_updater2', 20); // Update the post into the database wp_update_post( $vbs_ey_post ); //Rehook function to prevent infitnite looping add_filter('acf/save_post', 'vbs_post_title_updater2', 20); } // run after ACF saves the $_POST['fields'] data add_action('acf/save_post', 'vbs_post_title_updater2', 20);Page – English/Yes
$vbs_ey_post = array( 'post_id' => 'new_post', 'post_title' => wp_strip_all_tags($new_title), 'post_content' => false, 'form' => true, 'new_post' => array( 'post_type' => 'ey', 'post_status' => 'publish' ), 'field_groups' => array(2793), 'return' => '%post_url%', 'submit_value' => 'Submit VBS Event', 'updated_message' => 'Saved!' ); acf_form( $vbs_ey_post ); ?>Page – English/No
$vbs_en_post = array( 'post_id' => 'new_post', 'post_title' => wp_strip_all_tags($new_title2), 'post_content' => false, 'form' => true, 'new_post' => array( 'post_type' => 'en', 'post_status' => 'publish' ), 'field_groups' => array(3052), 'return' => '%post_url%', 'submit_value' => 'Submit', 'updated_message' => 'Saved!', 'post_title' => wp_strip_all_tags($new_slug2), ); acf_form( $vbs_en_post ); ?>As long as I only have the first function running, the one form works great. It saves the title, redirects, all of it. If I add the one for English/No, Neither one of them redirect or save titles properly.
Note: I have reflushed permalinks several times through this process.
It just occurred to me that it might be helpful to see the custom post type functions as well, since *maybe* something about them is part of the issue?

This didn’t seem to work for me, but I didn’t spend much time looking through the link you provided. I had, in the meantime, cobbled together another solution that may work for someone else as well:
Goes below your single-post display, within the post loop
<div class="edit-form">Edit this submission</div> <div class="form-off"><?php acf_form(); ?></div> <script> $ = jQuery; $(".edit-form").click(function(){ $(".form-off").toggleClass("form-on"); $(this).toggleClass("form-on"); }, function() { $(".form-off").toggleClass("form-on"); }); </script>In your stylesheet
.form-off { visibility: hidden; } .form-on { visibility: visible; }This may not be the most elegant way to do things, but it worked for me.

I’m feeling pretty dense right about now. Honestly, I’m trying to get this figured out, and have looked at the links you’ve sent and tried a ridiculous number of combinations of things. But now the title isn’t working at all.
I removed the section from functions that you said was no longer necessary. Replaced it with what’s below.
The new title shows properly in the body of the resulting post page, but it isn’t reflected as either the title or the slug. So, for instance, the latest new post from this form resulted in a slug of “vbsform/3024-2/”, instead of “vbsform/title-start_date/”
Functions.php

Hi there,
I apologize for the delay. The long weekend got away from me.Ok, here’s where I’m at right now. I’m not sure what I had before our last go-around and what’s been since, so here’s all of it.

I’m afraid the https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf_form/ page really isn’t helping me much with my last issues.
There are no examples of how to set up a custom layout with the ‘fields’ option (from what I can tell, it’s just a way to call certain fields from within the field group instead of all fields?), and, while I have my redirect page set up nicely, I’m not sure how to display what the user just submitted there. Should I be setting it up with some sort of custom loop? If so, I’m not sure how to grab the newly-created $post_id for the “single” template for that custom post type in my redirect.
I suspect these things are obvious on the overview page to a guru such as yourself. I apologize in advance that the answers are not leaping out at me.

Hi James,
Thanks again for your help here. Client did upgrade to Pro (solving issue #3) and I believe I’ve gotten the appropriate codes modified now so I’m not having issues #1 anymore. YAY!I’m still having trouble with item #2 however. I get the first part of the title working properly, but the date it’s adding is today’s date, not the date entered in the start_date date picker field.
Here’s what I have for that area. Perhaps you’ll see what I’m doing wrong:
function vbsform_update_title( $value, $post_id, $field ) { $new_title_church_name = get_field( 'church_name', $post_id) . ' ' . $value; $new_title_date = get_field('start_date', $post_id); // make date object $new_title_date = new DateTime($new_title_date); $new_title = $new_title_church_name . '-' . $new_title_date->format('M j, Y'); $new_slug = sanitize_title( $new_title ); // update post $vbs_postdata = array( 'ID' => $post_id, 'post_title' => $new_title, 'post_name' => $new_slug, ); if ( ! wp_is_post_revision( $post_id ) ){ // unhook this function so it doesn't loop infinitely remove_action('save_post', 'vbs_update_title'); // update the post, which calls save_post again wp_update_post( $vbs_postdata ); // re-hook this function add_action('save_post', 'vbs_update_title'); } return $value; }Still working on items #4 & #5. Hopefully I’ll get those figured out in the meantime 🙂

Thank you so much for the reply. It’s about 1:30am for me right now so I only worked on Item 2 from your suggestion. It’s showing the *current* date now, but not the date selected in the date selector field. However, I wonder if Item #1 may be partially to blame.
Better than a screenshot, here’s a link to the dev page. Maybe that’ll show you what’s going on. The first time you visit the page, you *should* have no fields pre-filled. And you *shouldn’t* have them pre-filled at *any* point you visit the page. But at least for me (I’m using FF), ever since the first time I filled out the form for testing purposes it remains filled out, and when I try to change a field (for instance, Church Name, which is part of the modified custom post type title), it saves in admin as the original entry I made, but when I click to edit/view, it shows the correct entry in the form itself – it’s just not saving it to the title properly.
The other items I’ll look at when I’m up again. Thanks again.

I did a print_r of the field group, if that helps?
array(1) { [0]=> string(7) "speight" }And that does make sense about the pagination. Thank you.

I tried that. It doesn’t work. It still outputs all items in the custom post type instead of only the items that meet that particular condition.
btw, the field group is a checkbox – not yes/no. They have specific selections: “speight” & “embassy”. I need to only display items that have “speight” selected.
I can get the right plans to display properly by using the following code, but it doesn’t fix the $paged issue (it still shows the count of *all* items in that post-type instead of just the ones in my query args.
<?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; $total_posts = $wp_query->found_posts; $start_post = ($paged - 1) * $posts_per_page + 1; $end_post = min($start_post + $posts_per_page - 1, $total_posts); $args = array( 'post_type' => 'speight_home_plans', 'orderby'=> 'title', 'order' => 'ASC', 'paged' => $paged ); $query = new WP_Query( $args ); if ($query->have_posts()) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); $selected = get_field('display_where'); if( in_array('speight', $selected) ) { get_template_part( 'template-parts/plan-archive-loop', get_post_format() ); } endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); endif;I’m wondering if the issue is that the ACF field isn’t somehow specified before the arg the same way it’s called in the loop itself? I mean, if all I’m telling it is “display_where” (the name of the field within the post type), without doing the whole get_field(‘display_where’) part of it, does it know how to see it? but I’ve tried calling it that way and it doesn’t make a difference.

Sorry…that just went over my head (of course, it’s almost 2:30am too, so…).

- March 24, 2016 at 6:32 am
I have my sections grouped. What I’m talking about is, for instance, I have two input fields, each for a short number. Ideally these 2 items could appear next to each other instead of full width stacked. No way to do this?

In case anyone else needs similar code, this is for a CSS-only pop-over modal window that grabs the Featured Image of the custom post type, as well as the gallery images.
<?php $args = array( 'post_status' => 'publish', ); $query = new WP_Query( $args ); if ($query->have_posts()) { $id = get_the_ID(); $thumb = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), $size = 'full' ); $url = $thumb['0']; $alt = get_post_meta($thumb_id, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true); $images = get_field('additional_product_images'); ?> <section id="gallery"> <section class="item top"> <a href="#<? echo get_post_thumbnail_id() ?>"> <img src="<?=$url?>"> </a> </section> <?php if( $images ): foreach( $images as $image ): ?> <section class="item"> <a href="#<?php echo $image['id']; ?>"> <img src="<?php echo $image['sizes']['dnf-prod-thumb']; ?>" /> </a> </section> <?php endforeach; endif; ?> </section> <!-- lightbox container hidden with CSS --> <div class="lightbox" id="<? echo get_post_thumbnail_id() ?>"> <div class="box"> <a class="close" href="">X</a> <div class="content"> <img src="<?=$url?>"> <?php if( $images ): ?> <!-- Next Image Button --> <a class="next" href="#<?php echo $images[0]['id'] ?>">next</a> <div class="clear"></div> <?php endif; ?> </div> </div> </div> <?php if( $images ): foreach( $images as $key => $image ): ?> <div class="lightbox" id="<?php echo $image['id']; ?>"> <div class="box"> <a class="close" href="">X</a> <div class="content"> <img src="<?php echo $image['sizes']['large']; ?>" /> <!-- Previous Image Button --> <?php if(isset($images[$key - 1])){ ?> <a class="prev" href="#<?php echo $images[$key - 1]['id'] ?>">prev</a> <?php } else { ?> <a class="prev" href="#<? echo get_post_thumbnail_id() ?>">prev</a> <?php } ?> <!-- Next Image Button --> <?php if(isset($images[$key + 1])){ ?> <a class="next" href="#<?php echo $images[$key + 1]['id'] ?>">next</a> <?php } ?> <div class="clear"></div> </div> </div> </div> <?php endforeach; endif; ?>And the corresponding CSS…
#gallery a { text-decoration: none; } #gallery .item { width: 46%; height: auto; overflow: hidden; float: left; margin: 5px; } #gallery .item.top { width: 96%; } #gallery .item a { overflow: hidden; } #gallery .item a img { height: 100%; align-self: center; } .lightbox { /** Hide the lightbox */ opacity: 0; /** Apply basic lightbox styling */ position: fixed; z-index: 9999; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: -100%; left: 0; color: #333333; -webkit-transition: opacity .5s ease-in-out; -moz-transition: opacity .5s ease-in-out; -o-transition: opacity .5s ease-in-out; transition: opacity .5s ease-in-out; } .lightbox:target { /** Show lightbox when it is target */ opacity: 1; outline: none; top: 15%; } .lightbox .box { width: -webkit-min-content; width: -moz-min-content; width: min-content; max-height: 85%; min-width: 500px; margin: auto; padding: 10px 20px; background-color: #FFF; box-shadow: 0px 1px 26px -3px #777777; } .lightbox .title { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 10px 0px; border-bottom: 1px #ccc solid; font-size: 22px; } .lightbox .content { display: block; position: relative; width: 95%; } .lightbox .close { display: block; float: right; text-decoration: none; font-family: "Lato", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; color: #858585; } .clear { display: block; clear: both; } .lightbox .content .desc { z-index: 99; bottom: 0; position: absolute; padding: 10px; margin: 0 0 4px 0; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8); color: #fff; font-size: 17px; opacity: 0; transition: opacity ease-in-out 0.5s; } .lightbox .content:hover .desc { opacity: 1; } .lightbox .next, .lightbox .prev, .lightbox .close { display: block; text-decoration: none; font-family: "Lato", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; color: #858585; } .prev { float: left; } .next, .close { float: right; } -
This set me on the track I needed. Thank you VERY much!

It is set to ‘File Object’. Using an example from the link you provided, I slightly modified the code, but it still doesn’t work:
<?php // check for rows (parent repeater) if( have_rows('downloads') ): ?> <div id="downloads"> <?php // loop through rows (parent repeater) while( have_rows('downloads') ): the_row(); ?> <div class="downloads-title"> <h3><?php the_sub_field('downloads_title'); ?></h3> <i class="downloads-border"></i> <?php // check for rows (sub repeater) if( have_rows('documents') ): ?> <ul class="fa-ul"> <?php // loop through rows (sub repeater) while( have_rows('documents') ): the_row(); // display each item as a list - with a class of completed ( if completed ) $file = get_sub_field('document_upload'); ?> <li><i class="fa-li fa fa-download"></i><a href="<?php echo $file['url']; ?>"><?php the_sub_field('document_name'); ?></a></li> <?php endwhile; ?> </ul> <?php endif; //if( get_sub_field('documents') ): ?> </div> <?php endwhile; // while( have_rows('downloads') ): ?> </div> <?php endif; // if( have_rows('downloads') ): ?>
