I’d just like to give this a thumbs up; imho essential functionality that’s missing atm. Perhaps it’s better to move away from using the wp_options table for this?
Common use case for me: make a custom post type archive template editable. We’d have an options page nested under the post type in the CMS where the user can change certain variables. Now we have to create and maintain seperate field groups with the same fields in there to be able under each post type. Would be awesome if we could just have the one field group applied to multiple options pages; without them inheriting eachothers content there.
@Elliot Condon could I also get access to the repo for ACF pro? Would be nice if I can include it as submodule for our projects 🙂
Would love to see this as well – especially that it saves the zoom level of the map in the back-end after zooming in on the map there. I think this is a very basic feature, would be great if this can be enabled in the options when creating a map field.
I would like to add that the same is the case for the post object field. Could someone please look into this?
To clarify; I am sure the filter works (I can pass other arguments) – just the post_parent only accepts 0 as a value (seems like this anyways).
I would like to second this – I am experiencing the same issues as @stiand is.
One of my programmers reported to me that the issue has been magically solved since the update to WP 3.8. I will look into it and report back here!
I’d like to second this; I’ve been needing it lately as well.
I coded a manual hidden field type that stores the latest date each time the user saves the page for a client; I’m putting it on GitHub as we speak.
It can be easily adapted to function just as a hidden field; look into the function update_value() on line 210 to accomplish this. Removing line 212 should do the trick 🙂
Note that it might not be the most pretty solution (it’s the first field type I coded), but it works.
I’ll take a look if I can tidy it up a bit; and built it into a plugin so that it’s easier to use. Hope you find it useful 🙂
//edit: you can find the field type here: https://github.com/gport/acf-hidden-field
//edit 2: if you look into the function create_field() on line 84, you can also change the output of the HTML. Currently, the hidden field is simply set as display: none, but you could easily remove this and disable the field as well.
I’ve also increased the memory on my server, and max_input_vars as well. Both to no avail. @elliot is there anything else we can try/do to help you debug?
