Thanks John i will try this technique out! i did not even know that you can build fields with php 😀
You meant something like:
function my_acf_add_local_field_groups() {
acf_add_local_field_group(array(
'key' => 'group_1',
'title' => 'My Group',
'fields' => array (
array('key' => 'field_1', 'label' => 'Sub Title', 'name' => 'sub_title', 'type' => 'text'),
if(is_admin()){
array('key' => 'field_2', 'label' => 'Sub Title Admin', 'name' => 'sub_title', 'type' => 'text')
}
),
'location' => array (
array (
array (
'param' => 'post_type',
'operator' => '==',
'value' => 'post',
),
),
),
));
}
add_action('acf/init', 'my_acf_add_local_field_groups');
That’s true but if some fields are shown on the profile pages you have to have a specific group that has those fields. and if some fields are shown else where you have to have a specific group for those or a’m i getting something wrong?
ahh nice thanks for the link! will do it straight a way
I was a little afraid that there is no way of doing this. I think that a hook where you could hide files with php would be really nice. Because now i have to add a new Field group that only has one field in it. and if i want to create a second field that only an admin can edit i have to create a new group and a field in side that. because you can’t have a field only show in profile pages only a group of fields :/
Is there any way that this feature could be added in the future?
function my_acf_load_field( $field ) {
return;
}
add_filter('acf/load_field/name=acf_primary_role', 'my_acf_load_field');
I found this solution? is this a good way to do it? Of course this code should be wrapped in a if not admin statement
