Would this also be possible to set different WordPress configs?
More specifically, I’d like to set the title of a page with a custom form (see http://d.pr/i/VemJ), as well as setting the post_status (e.g. published/draft etc) based on a checkbox.
Do you think this would be possible?
So far I just can’t get it done.. I’m trying to get the field “cursusfoto” (see http://d.pr/i/ibk3) set as the featured image. I already set the return value at the ID (I assume that’s right), see http://d.pr/i/q6nJ.
However, I simply have no clue how to manage this code-wise.. (I’m not a developer).
I just went through http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/filters/acfupdate_value/ and tested various ways of coding, but I don’t think I totally understand..
Where would I need to put the add_post_meta-code you posted in relation to the example code at http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/filters/acfupdate_value/?
Since I’m using it for the post type “course”, I changed the post_type=post into post_type=course.
However, the count still doesn’t work (it still counts everything).
Also, the 1st part of your code (that you last posted) doesn’t work (to show only the authors content) – while an earlier example of you did work – so I used the code below for the first part and added the “Fix post counts” count only.
What I’m currently using (working code).
// So authors can only see their own content (e.g. courses etc)
function posts_for_current_author($query) {
if( !$query->is_admin )
return $query;
$screen = get_current_screen();
if ($screen->base === 'post')
return $query;
if( !current_user_can( 'activate_plugins' ) ) {
global $user_ID;
$query->set('author', $user_ID );
}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'posts_for_current_author');
I haven’t been able to get the count correct, see http://d.pr/i/Ijhs.
Hmm – that count script isn’t working for me.. Anything else I need to change except for the post types (since you targeted “site_listings”).
My bad – your code is working 🙂 Thanks a million!
The only thing that I still need to fix, is the fact that it’s showing incorrect number (See http://d.pr/i/Yw5f).
I know it has nothing to do with ACF: you already helped me with that (and I just purchased my 2nd add-on, btw!). But IF you had any idea on how to get this done, feel free to share it with me and blow my mind regarding your level of support 😉
I replace my code with yours, but this code doesn’t work unfortunately.
Using your code, users are able to see others’ posts.
So it does fix the issue I had (advanced custom fields not showing), but now it doesn’t do the core thing it was supposed to do..
Then how can I retrieve that value, you think?
Woops – I checked the “this solved it”-button, but I’m still struggling with it.
I’m not much of a coder, but I tried various ways of coding and thus far without luck.
Right now I’ve changed it to
function posts_for_current_author($query) {
global $user_level;
if($query->is_admin && $user_level < 5 && get_post_type() != "acf") {
global $user_ID;
$query->set('author', $user_ID);
unset($user_ID);
}
unset($user_level);
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'posts_for_current_author');
But unfortunately that doesn’t change a thing.. Any thoughts?
