Well, I guess I figured it out. However, would doing this even be advisable?

I ask because… if we’re be able to manage the post_excerpt via acf/save_post with a custom ACF WYSIWG field, wouldn’t it just bloat the database? I.e. have a value stored for both the ACF and post_excerpt field?

The code I’ve used:

function update_post_excerpt($post_id) {

	// Set excerpt value from field
	$post_excerpt = get_field('field_12345',$post_id);
	
	// Update post options array
	$update_post_excerpt_args = array(
		'ID'			=> $post_id,
		'post_excerpt'	=> $post_excerpt,
	);
	
	// Update the post into the database
	wp_update_post( $update_post_excerpt_args );
}

add_action('acf/save_post', 'update_post_excerpt', 20);

Hi James,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I’ve not yet tried theacf/save_post hook on this. I’m not entirely sure how to accomplish this and generally have difficulty with understanding this hook.

Best,

Ryan

Ok, I’ve figured out the author bit, because I needed to use the ID. I’m still stuck on the taxonomy

$options = array(
	'post_id'			=> 'new_post',
	'post_title'			=> true,
	'new_post'			=> array(
		'post_type'		=> 'my-cpt',
		'post_status'		=> 'publish',
		'post_author'		=> $user_id  // Where $user_id is a number
		'tax_input'		=> array('my_taxonomy' => $taxo_id), // Not working
	),
	'field_groups'			=> array(
		1234
	),
	'submit_value' 			=> __("Add CPT", 'acf'),
	'updated_message' 		=> __("CPT Added", 'acf'),
	'uploader'			=> 'wp'
);
acf_form($options);

Regarding the taxonomy, I’ve read this thread:

acf_form, new_post, tax_input requires to be logged in

– and –

Using ‘tax_input’ with wp_insert_post() and nothing happens

…so it seems that the user needs permission to assign taxonomies – OR – I need to use wp_set_object_terms() using acf/save_post. I’ve increased permissions, which appears to have worked, but I am curious if there’s a way to do this via wp_set_object_terms() so I don’t have to increase permissions.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

You’re a rock star John! Thank you so much, that worked perfectly!

Hey John!

Thanks for the response!

RE: Database Values The value in question uses separate database rows.

You’re right about getting the data from the other plugin (the plugin is CPT-onomies, https://wordpress.org/plugins/cpt-onomies/) being relatively easy and I’m able to do this.

RE: Type of ACF Field

I’m using a select that I’m populating dynamically. Ideally each one of these selects would correspond to a different row in the database meta_key value.

Hope this makes sense and I’m happy to clarify with anything else if need be!

Found out, literally a minute after posting this. Turns out it was a matter of getting the meta_value first, then setting the field via $my_cpt_field[‘default_value’]

Here’s the code

//Populate the Select field, 'My Post Type' (field_1234) with dynamic values
add_filter('acf/load_field/key=field_1234', function($my_cpt_field) {
	
	global $post_id;
	$post_id = $_GET['exp_id'];	
	$cptonomy_post_meta = get_post_meta($post_id,'_custom_post_type_onomies_relationship',false);
	
	$cptonomy_val1 = $cptonomy_post_meta[0];
	$cptonomy_val2 = $cptonomy_post_meta[1];
	
	// Cptonomy Loop
	
	$cptonomy_arr = get_posts( array(
		'numberposts'		=> -1,
		'post_type'		=> 'my_post_type',
		'my-taxo'		=> 'taxo-1',
		'suppress_filters'	=> false,
		'orderby'		=> 'title',
		'order'			=> 'ASC',
	) );
	
	//These can be dynamically generated using any PHP code
	if( $cptonomy_arr ) {
		foreach ( $cptonomy_arr as $cptonomy_item ) {
			$my_cpt_field['choices'][$cptonomy_item->ID] = get_the_title($cptonomy_item->ID); // This populates the select field options fine
			// How do I set the 'selected' value'?
			$my_cpt_field['default_value'] = $cptonomy_val2; // this way
	}
	
	return $my_cpt_field;
});
