@kocosh thank you for your share, this is good workaround and works. But I hope that someday will be a better support for developers that works with divi theme, for the Moment everything looks like you need reversal enginnering skills.

thank you for your reply, I understood your explanation, but even using your code, unfortunately if I don’t manually specify the parameter post_id into the shortcode squares, it will not render into the visual builder. Honestly I think that I have to retrieve the post id from some sort of ajax call to make it works in the visual builder, cause I think that this code

$post_id = $_POST['et_post_id'] ;

is related to this ajax call

but it is difficoult for me to find a way out, this is for sure related to how divi passes the current post_id to shortcodes

Yes already tried and they will told me that is an ACF issue. But I think that is related to DIvi cause I can reproduce the same issue with other shortcodes that requires the page id in visual builder

@yourtrustedfreelancer you are welcome my friend. I hope ET will release soon a more accurate list of hooks, cause there are hundred of hidden features like this that are not reported on developers documentation 🙁

@brygal @kreatibu @kacftester

if you are still searching a solution for this, I wrote a simpler way with few lines of code using the et_pb_module_shortcode_attributes hook, (unfortunately there is no documentation about this so you have to do things by yourself) just place in your functions.php child theme this and simply replace ‘galleria_struttura’ with your acf gallery name and ‘struttura’ with the custom post type that you want to populate with acf gallery (obviuously you can use any other wp_query for this, like is_page() etc)

//populate divi gallery with ACF gallery 
add_filter('et_pb_module_shortcode_attributes', 'galleria_divi_acf', 20, 3);

function galleria_divi_acf($props, $atts, $slug) {
	$gallery_module_slugs = array('et_pb_gallery');
	if (!in_array($slug, $gallery_module_slugs)) {
		return $props;
	}
	if ( 'struttura' == get_post_type() ) {
	$props['gallery_ids'] = get_field('galleria_struttura', false, false);
		return $props;
	}
	else return $props;
}

mycpt is a registered custom post type of mine, you have to decide in which pages you want this module to be enabled using the correct query, if you don’t know how to build a basic query I suggest to you to check the codex wordpress reference to build your own, if you don’t have custom post type you can use post instead of mycpt and in this case the custom module will be enabled in the classic wordpress articles

is_singular( array( ‘custom-post-type’ ) ) is:
if ( is_singular( array( ‘galeria’ ) )

sorry for the question but looks a little strange that you have your registered custom post type renamed exactly as your ACF gallery field.. in your case that query is a statement to apply the custom module on on single-galeria.php pages.is this present?

you told that it was working? have you changed something from the working configuration?
I don’t think it is showing all the images it simply is receiving an empty arrey so is automatically populated with standard divi behaviour that is to populate the gallery with random images. First of all post the query that you have inserted instead of this one is_singular( array( 'custom-post-type' ) )
and second of all check if the slug(not the name) of the ACF field is correct

My friend I wil tell you how to accomplish this,is not so difficoult:
first of all you need an update divi environment with your custom child theme enabled and obviously the latest ACF plugin installed.

Then you have to create your ACF gallery field(let’s suppose to name it divi_acf_gallery).

now you have to create your custom divi module that will automatically populate the images from the divi_acf_gallery field.

Create in your child theme a file named “custom-acf-gallery-module.php” and be sure to add the correct permission/owner/group if you have a local setup/VPS/private server, open it with your preferred editor like notepad++ and past exactly the entire content of the standard gallery module(you can find this in /wp-content/themes/Divi/include/builder/module/Gallery.php

Now you have to customize the module with your ACF field, this can be done in 3 steps:

FIRST STEP
on top of the file you have this code

<?php

class ET_Builder_Module_Gallery extends ET_Builder_Module {

simply edit as follow to begin your own custom function that we then enqueue to our functions

<?php
function ex_divi_child_theme_setup() {
  if ( class_exists('ET_Builder_Module')) {
	  
    class ET_Builder_Module_Gallery_ACF extends ET_Builder_Module {

SECOND STEP
go around line 407 and change the code in this way

		$attachments_args = array(
			'include'        => get_field('divi_acf_gallery', false, false),
			'post_status'    => 'inherit',
			'post_type'      => 'attachment',
			'post_mime_type' => 'image',
			'order'          => 'ASC',
			'orderby'        => 'post__in',
		);

you can notice that the query now gets the arrey of images from the acf field

THIRD STEP
go at the and of the file and you will find this code
new ET_Builder_Module_Gallery;
Delete this line and add this code

if ( is_singular( array( 'mycpt' ) ) ) {
	$et_builder_module_gallery_acf = new ET_Builder_Module_Gallery_ACF();
    remove_shortcode( 'et_pb_gallery');
    add_shortcode( 'et_pb_gallery', array($et_builder_module_gallery_acf, '_shortcode_callback') );
  }
  }
}
add_action('et_builder_ready', 'ex_divi_child_theme_setup');

this is one is an important step, you have to choice were this custom module will appears, so in my example the query
is_singular( array( 'custom-post-type' ) )
is the most important, in my case tells that if the module is present in a custom post type named “mycpt” then the gallery will be populated by the ACF field, elsewere the function will use the standard divi engine, this is good cause gives to you the ability to clone the standard divi module without hacking it, this is simple a customized copy that will work forever on your selected pages,and will note breack the standard divi gallery pages. you can of course customize the query for a specific page like this
is_page( array( ‘page-1’, ‘page-2’, ‘page-3’ )

The latest step is to enqueue this in your functions.php file with a simple line of code that you can comment anytime out if things goes wrong or if you want to disable this feature

include (get_stylesheet_directory() . '/custom-acf-gallery-module.php');

DONE!

Sorry I’m not a coder, I have only patience it takes me an entire day to find this out but is working as expected, I don’t know if is bad to enqueue the custom php in this way, maybe is better to add the if statment in the functions.php to enqueue this only on the cpt pages, but is only 21k and my sites loads fast so who cares?
Now you can add the gallery module to your pages without adding any image and if are the selected ones on save you will notice that are automatically populated, the VB cannot render this but is not important at all.

have a nice day hope this helps you at least for a starting point

have a nice day hope this helps you at least for a starting point

Hi my friend @kreatibu,
I wil tell you how to accomplish this,is not so difficoult:
first of all you need an update divi environment with your custom child theme enabled and obviously the latest ACF plugin installed.

Then you have to create your ACF gallery field(let’s suppose to name it divi_acf_gallery).

now you have to create your custom divi module that will automatically populate the images from the divi_acf_gallery field.

Create in your child theme a file named “custom-acf-gallery-module.php” and be sure to add the correct permission/owner/group if you have a local setup/VPS/private server, open it with your preferred editor like notepad++ and past exactly the entire content of the standard gallery module(you can find this in /wp-content/themes/Divi/include/builder/module/Gallery.php

Now you have to customize the module with your ACF field, this can be done in 3 steps:

FIRST STEP
on top of the file you have this code

<?php

class ET_Builder_Module_Gallery extends ET_Builder_Module {

simply edit as follow to begin your own custom function that we then enqueue to our functions

<?php
function ex_divi_child_theme_setup() {
  if ( class_exists('ET_Builder_Module')) {
	  
    class ET_Builder_Module_Gallery_ACF extends ET_Builder_Module {

SECOND STEP
go around line 407 and change the code in this way

		$attachments_args = array(
			'include'        => get_field('divi_acf_gallery', false, false),
			'post_status'    => 'inherit',
			'post_type'      => 'attachment',
			'post_mime_type' => 'image',
			'order'          => 'ASC',
			'orderby'        => 'post__in',
		);

you can notice that the query now gets the arrey of images from the acf field

THIRD STEP
go at the and of the file and you will find this code
new ET_Builder_Module_Gallery;
Delete this line and add this code

if ( is_singular( array( 'mycpt' ) ) ) {
	$et_builder_module_gallery_acf = new ET_Builder_Module_Gallery_ACF();
    remove_shortcode( 'et_pb_gallery');
    add_shortcode( 'et_pb_gallery', array($et_builder_module_gallery_acf, '_shortcode_callback') );
  }
  }
}
add_action('et_builder_ready', 'ex_divi_child_theme_setup');

this is one is an important step, you have to choice were this custom module will appears, so in my example the query
is_singular( array( 'custom-post-type' ) )
is the most important, in my case tells that if the module is present in a custom post type named “mycpt” then the gallery will be populated by the ACF field, elsewere the function will use the standard divi engine, this is good cause gives to you the ability to clone the standard divi module without hacking it, this is simple a customized copy that will work forever on your selected pages,and will note breack the standard divi gallery pages. you can of course customize the query for a specific page like this
is_page( array( ‘page-1’, ‘page-2’, ‘page-3’ )

The latest step is to enqueue this in your functions.php file with a simple line of code that you can comment anytime out if things goes wrong or if you want to disable this feature

include (get_stylesheet_directory() . '/custom-acf-gallery-module.php');

DONE!

Sorry I’m not a coder, I have only patience it takes me an entire day to find this out but is working as expected, I don’t know if is bad to enqueue the custom php in this way, maybe is better to add the if statment in the functions.php to enqueue this only on the cpt pages, but is only 21k and my sites loads fast so who cares?

yesssssssss but I’m out of home in this moment. I cannot past any code. in 2 words. you have to clone the standard divi module in your child theme and edit the id field that populates the divi gallery with the acf field. but you have to enable this custom module only in the cpt that you are interested to apply this kind of feature elsewhere this will breack the divi gallery in your entire website

I did it with this code!

/*save custom post field*/
function my_acf_save_post( $post_id ) {
    
		// An array of IDs of categories we want this post to have.
		$cat_ids = get_field('localita-popolata');

		
		//If this was coming from the database or another source, we would need to make sure
		//these were integers:

		$cat_ids = array_map( 'intval', $cat_ids );
		$cat_ids = array_unique( $cat_ids );

		
		wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, $cat_ids, 'struttura_category' );
}

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