This seems to be the answer across multiple topic in acf forums ;(
Say we want to add an ID – its easy to attach a field
into the link dialog box. But the data isn’t being saved
with acf.
$('#link-options').append(
<div>
<div className=”flex flex-row”>
<label htmlFor=”wpse_link_class col-6″>
<span>Button Type</span>
<select name=”wpse-link-class” id=”wpse_link_class”>
<option value=”normal”>normal</option>
<option value=”btn btn-yellow”>Yellow button</option>
<option value=”btn btn-yellow btn-lg”>Yellow button (big)</option>
<option value=”btn btn-outline”>Outline button</option>
<option value=”btn btn-outline btn-lg”>Outline button (big)</option>
</select>
</label>
</div>
<label for=”sgx_custom_link_id”>
<span>Link ID</span>
<input type=”text” name=”sgx_custom_link_id” id=”sgx_custom_link_id” />
</label>
</div>
`);
wpLink.getAttrs = function() {
wpLink.correctURL();
return {
class: $( ‘#wpse_link_class’ ).val(),
href: $.trim( $( ‘#wp-link-url’ ).val() ),
target: $( ‘#wp-link-target’ ).prop( ‘checked’ ) ? ‘_blank’ : ”,
id: $( ‘#sgx_custom_link_id’ ).val() // this doesn’t work.
};
}`
This is an issue that drove my crazy twice. took me a second to remember,
the thing is that some type of widget structure is the problem
i have to change 2 things.
1. your right. we must return an array inside the update
2. we need to register the widget inside the __construct() (which is inside the class)
// construct inside the class
public function __construct() {
$widget_ops = array(
'classname' => 'cmenu_widget',
'description' => 'Custom menu widget built with ACF Pro',
);
parent::__construct( 'acf_cmenu_widget', 'ACF Custom Menu Widget', $widget_ops );
add_action( 'widgets_init', function() {
register_widget( 'AcfCMenuWIdget' );
});
}
and after that class just call it like so
$someClassVar = new someClassName();
OMG thank you man (Really!) appreciate you ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
i spent 2 days on this shit.
ACF staff should really show a popup / a quick post notifying in such cases
we are wasting a lot of time and grow white hairs trying to track such things
No advance on that issue?
i tried this
add_filter('acf/prepare_field/type=tab', 'sagive_validate_extra_tabclass', 10);
function sagive_validate_extra_tabclass( $field ){
if( !empty($field['tabclass']) ) {
$field['class'] = 'some-class';
$field['wrapper']['class'] = 'some-class';
}
return $field;
}
Doesnt work (at least on the tab element)… which is where i need it.
The parent is not related… its the group. So u’ might mean making that cloned a group inside the element. But that’s a given and not the solution.
Anyhow thanks. I guess there is no solution.
acf should save the ref for the original field but I guess its
an optimization issue or something.
Maybe I would find a way to auto-tick that save as a group so as to at least have a better flow when working.
I would love to do that (only change the display) – that’s even easier.
However… as it seems (example: https://pastebin.com/Bw1dBbAt)
the information meaning the original field label isn’t included in the
cloned field data. is there another hook/filter way to do this?
If you think about it
making a global field which u can use across page templates / locations
needs a ‘relative to location’ title… so this is not a weird idea.
