Just as a follow-up. Was able to create a new post on a user registration and pre-pop the flexible layout and data with update field. Here is the code I added to my functions.php file for any one else looking:
function create_new_user_posts($user_id){
// Create new post.
$post_data = array(
'post_title' => 'New Post Title',
'post_type' => 'Custom Post Name',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => $user_id,
);
//Insert the post into the database
$post_id = wp_insert_post( $post_data );
// Save a flexible content field value.
$field_key = "field_5eb8736d02e62";
$value = array(
array(
'acf_fc_layout' => 'layout_1',
'field_5eb873ab02e63' => 'This is what I want the field to say'
),
array(
'acf_fc_layout' => 'layout_2',
'field_5eb8743702e68' => 'Starting 2 text'
)
);
update_field( $field_key, $value, $post_id);
}
add_action('user_register','create_new_user_posts');
Thank you for your help. Pushed me in the right direction.
If I am following you correctly, this is how it should look:
//Prepop Initial Notes
add_filter('acf/load_value', 'add_starting_flex', 1, 3);
function add_starting_flex($value, $post_id, $field) {
if ($field['key'] != 'field_5eb8736d02e62' || $value !== NULL) {
return $value;
}
// add default layouts
$value = array(
array(
'acf_fc_layout' => 'layout_note_text',
'field_5eb873ab02e63' => 'This is for the General Note only.'
),
array(
'acf_fc_layout' => 'layout_video_note',
'field_5eb8743702e68' => 'Starting Video',
)
);
return $value;
}
I tried that with no luck. Nothing was passed into the new post now. Did I get that incorrect?
Hey –
I have the exact same question and saw that this went unanswered. Did you ever figure it out?
Thanks!
