Hi @LeffDesign

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, this confirms the issue. Please research how to use the WP native ajax functionality.

This will solve your issue!

• in reply to: Difference between Repeater & Flexible Content field
• July 9, 2013 at 9:36 am

Hi @webmasterID

Basically, both fields allow for ‘repeatable’ sets of data, however, the 2 interfaces are used for 2 different things:

Repeater
This is used for a simple table like interface whenre you define the columns and repeater the rows. A good use for this field is an image gallery

Flexible Content
This is used for more complex content / widget styled data. This field allows you to create multiple[le layouts and each layout contains different sub fields.

This allows the user to populate an area on the site with full control over the layouts and data. Very useful for flexible content solutions and even sidebar widgets!

• July 9, 2013 at 9:33 am

Hi @landitus

Yes, please do re-check this on another install.

Failing that, are you able to do some simple debugging in the taxonomy file?

Take a look in ‘core/fields/taxonomy.php’ in the update_value function.

Use a simple debugging method to check that the wp_set_object_terms function is running

That’s very interesting!

Great debugging my friend.

My bet is that on the ‘problem’ install, there is a server setting or .htaccess setting that is preventing the input.php file to be used as a .js file

If you head back to the old support site, there is a featured post on input.php 404

You may find some useful info there!

Yep, you can jump over to the documentation page to view the actions / filters available.

Or just use the search above for acf/save_post

Totally agree. If I have the time, I would love to add this in.

But for now, it sounds like you have a solid work around. Good work!

• July 8, 2013 at 3:30 pm

Hi @rddesigns

ACF saves the value of ‘term’ custom fields to the wp_options table.
The option_name will have a prefix of $taxonomy_$termID_$fieldName

I hope that helps

• July 8, 2013 at 3:29 pm

Hi @nuresponse

It’s a bit more complicated than that. You will need to take a look at the js/input/image.js file to see how that ‘library’ data variable is used

• Elliot

• in reply to: Taxonomy Field fails to update post categories
• July 8, 2013 at 3:24 pm

Hi @landitus

If you use the native WP checkbox to change the category, does ACF read in the new terms selected?

Perhaps the issue is ACF is not saving the data?

Can you confirm that ACF is saving other custom fields?

• in reply to: Multiple relationships in a query
• July 8, 2013 at 3:22 pm

Hi @guiloviu

Looking at the code you have posted, there is clearly a problem with the way you have nested your arrays.

For example, you have

'relation' => 'AND',

and

'relation' => 'OR',

in the same array.

I think you should take another look at the WP_Query docs and also post this question on stack exchange as it does not involve any ACF specific functions.

• July 8, 2013 at 3:18 pm

Hi @jimmy.aat10

In general, yes, it is possible to filter the posts shown in an ACF field.

This said, I’m quite confused as to what fields you are using.

Is the field a post object or relationship?
Also, where would you want to add a column? TO what interface? Perhaps use a screenshot to demonstrate

• in reply to: Extract year and Month from date picker custom field
• July 8, 2013 at 1:08 pm

Hi @biomedikal

Perhaps you could use the update_value filter to run a custom save function.

The update_value filter is run on every value you save with ACF. It’s native functionality is to save the value to the database, however, you can hook in and do what ever you want.

Jump over to the docs and check out the filter. You will be able to look at the value saving, and extract the month / year (with an explode function) and then use the native update_postmeta function to save the value to the post!

Good luck

• in reply to: Ajax error: Class acf_field not found.
• July 8, 2013 at 1:06 pm

Hi @LeffDesign

In your above code, you have the AJAX call pointing to:

url: "../wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/fields/test.php",

Is this correct? If so, WP will not be loaded correctly, ACF will not be included and your PHP error will make sense.

In your first code however, you write that you are using the native wp_ajax functions.php AJAX solution.

Can you confirm which way you are coding as they dramatically will effect ACF’s usage

• July 8, 2013 at 12:57 pm

Hi @Steve Holland

This is not possible via the get_field function in ACF.

I would encourage you to look at writing a custom sql query to find all these values

Thanks

Reading over your topic again, I may have miss understood the feedback.

I wonder if you could use the save_post action to first check that the values posted are unique. If not, you could then redirect the browser or find another way to abort the save.

Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean by ‘access pin’. Would you mind elaborating more on this and why it would be useful?

• in reply to: Repeater: default fields/data
• July 8, 2013 at 12:51 pm

Hi @Steve Holland

Thanks for the request. This isn’t as easy as you may think to add in.

Would the ‘x’ number of rows contain different default values in the sub fields?

• Elliot

• in reply to: Capabilities for Options Page
• July 8, 2013 at 12:49 pm

Hi @edir

Thanks for the feedback.

Currently this is not possible unless you were to edit the core files of the options page add-on.

I will add this request to the to-do and hopefully see it released in an update soon

Cheers

• in reply to: Include ACF into theme and use translation
• July 8, 2013 at 12:47 pm

Hi @Thomas

Thanks for the bug report. Are you able to do some simple debugging in the acf.php file? Close to the top of the file, you will find the code to register the translation file.

Perhaps this only works if ACF is used as a ‘plugin’.

Maybe with some debugging you can discover what is wrong?

Thanks
Elliot

Hi @franco.pentangeli

The repeater field has alwasy had the ability to sort the order via drag / drop.
Move your mouse over the row number and you should be able to see that the row can now be re-positioned

Hi @mikosworld

You can use this code to test the value. That way you know what you are working with:

<?php 

$lang = get_field('language');

echo '<pre>';
	var_dump( $lang );
echo '</pre>';
die;

?>
