Hi James

That’s very kind of you! 🙂

It’s here:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4676147/acf-export-2016-10-25.json

There’s more field groups than just the ones in question; I’m just to trying and avoid missing fields from clones.

– The button field is in ‘Base: Button’
– The flexible layouts are in ‘Hero: Elements’ and is assigned to a ‘Hero’ CPT (but you can reassign this to a page)
– Inside the flex layouts, you’ll find the buttons layout, which is a repeater
– I also included ‘Theme Options: Promo Bar’ – this has a button field too, but isn’t inside a repeater/flex

Any questions, let me know. What I’m trying to do might well not possible – I’m prepared for that eventuality 🙂

Appreciate it,

Hi James

Thank you for the reply!

I think I’m “OK” with the clone field side of things, actually. I was mentioning for context, but I think you’re completely right – it’s irrelevant in this context.

One crucial thing I somehow didn’t mention is that the value I’m trying to get is inside a flexible content layout, nested inside a repeater.

The fields look like:

- Repeater (columns) - attached to a CPT single

	- Flex layout blocks (inside columns)

		- Text field (inside Flex layout)
		- Highlight field (inside Flex layout)

For this reason, get_field('highlight_color', $post_id) can’t retrieve the correct value.

Through the acf/format_value/type=text filter, I am able to get the info as per my initial post, including the parent ID and the parent_layout key.

So in this case, the current field ID is 2126 and it’s parent is 2123.

What I’m therefore trying to do (in pseudo code) is:

Get the value of a field who's parent is 2123 and name is highlight_color

Thanks again

Hey @solverat – just a ‘quickie’ on the Yoast snippet – we had a couple of issues getting it to work (because of Yoast’s documentation, it seems!)

Details in this link: https://github.com/Yoast/YoastSEO.js/issues/181

But now that’s done it works like a charm.

Hope it helps 🙂

Hey @solverat

Great news. Thanks for this.

I’ll need a bit of time to just look around and find the boundaries of the plugin and where it is now, and then I can get in touch with you to discuss what you need help with (if anything), but otherwise will try and get it functional in a non-Themosis environment 🙂

The Yoast/ACF plugin looks great too; it’s something we have had a problem with in the past with V2.x of Yoast, and had to append all meta to the_content so the analysis would displaying *something* – it wasn’t pretty or perfect, so this is great too – thanks for sharing.

@solverat Re: Themosis – super awesome; glad you’re finding some success with it. We’re using the Roots.io stack, which is a great way to build the “more conventional” WordPress themes IMO, but we plan on testing Themosis soon as it looks so nice, and very similar to Laravel.

Re: Page Designer – I would agree with @Markus… (of course I would say that 🙂 ) but perhaps with more contributors, it would be easier to keep on top of the ACF core updates as well as integrate some nice things.

Re: Shortcake – great stuff 🙂

@solverat Very nice; we’re looking to build something exactly like that to make it user-friendly for our clients.

Are you using shortcake as well to render elements (like the button)?

Yes same issue on 5.0.8

If I revert back to 5.0.7, they reappear.
