I have a 2x blog WordPress Multisite that contains a front end ACF form for adding dates.
I can then update these dates whenever required from the front end.
I want to load the front end form on the second blog so that I can also update the dates there.
I can load the form but the values aren't saved; whereas they are only the main blog site.
How do I get around this?
<?php
$options = array(
'id' => 'update_dates_form',
'fields' => array(
'field_591c745961034',
'field_591c74a861037',
'field_591c748361035',
'field_591c749a61036',
),
'submit_value' => __('Save', 'augwp'),
'updated_message' => __('Successfully Updated', 'augwp'),
);
acf_form( $options );
?>
In your code, yiu have to switch to blog where data are stored, extract them then return to the current blog:
switch_to_blog(1); // use blog number here, main blog is always 1
// extract data
restore_current_blog();

I have an odd request, i'm not sure if this is even possible. But i'll try to work out the process below, and if anyone can help me work this out that would be amazing!
Ideally the process is as follows:
Admin goes to parent options page, within the options page there is a repeater field, called add new company. This will just be a field with a title.
Admin fills in field and presses save. This will generate a sub options page with that name, within the options field, there will be a set of fields like logo, a colour picker and some text fields (these could be a set of fields from within ACF if thats possible).
Also when this original Repeater Field is made/saved a set of pages is generated from a set of templates. Essentially using the name from the repeater field to be the main page title for the top level page and all the sub pages below are just dynamically generated. They don't need to have anything different about them, they just need to generate from a set of page templates. It needs to be able to associate with the newly generated company bits from the sub options field.
This will then essentially give the admin a new set of pages which will use the new options logo / colours etc. It would almost need to generate a new set of templates based off the master templates to dynamically make sure it picked up the correct information from the sub options page.
I'm not sure if this is possible, I have seen it work elsewhere on another job I have worked on (not exactly the same as the above but similar), but I can't work out the process to make it work sadly, as I have a horrid feeling that there is some complex bits within the database going on to do the duplication dynamically.
My other option is to run everything as a WordPress Multisite but I was trying to avoid that if possible on this occasion, but I may have to use Multisite to achieve the above.
If anyone can help me work this out that would be amazing!
Thanks in advance for any help :)
You should be able to plug into the save_post action and create new subpages from there.
add_action( 'save_post', 'create_sub_pages' ); //Plug into save_post action
//Function create sub_pages
function create_sub_pages($post_ID) {
//Repeater field name
$repeater_field_array = get_field('repeater_field_name');
//Loops through all of the items in the repeater field
foreach($repeater_field_array as $key => $value) {
//Check to see if there is already a sub page with that post name
$child_pages = get_pages(array( 'child_of' => $post_ID ));
$child_page_exists = false;
foreach($child_pages as $pages) {
if ($pages->post_title === $key) {
$child_page_exists = true;
}
}
//If not, set up the creation of the new post
if ($child_page_exists === false) {
$new_page_title = esc_html__( $key );
$new_page_content = '';
$new_page = array(
'post_type' => 'page',
'post_date' => esc_attr( date('Y-m-d H:i:s', time()) ),
'post_date_gmt' => esc_attr( date('Y-m-d H:i:s', time()) ),
'post_title' => esc_attr( $new_page_title ),
'post_name' => sanitize_title( $new_page_title ), //This could from the sub_field in the repeater
'post_content' => $new_page_content,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_parent' => $post_ID,
'menu_order' => $new_page_order
);
$new_page_id = wp_insert_post( $new_page );
update_post_meta( $new_page_id, '_wp_page_template', $value );
}
}
}
Again, this is just a spitball since there was not much code to review, but it could help you get going in the right direction.
I am using Event Espresso with WordPress.
May u help me out in further query modification?
Hope you will :)
I want to use meta_query to list events on page.
Somewhat like below code.
$atts = array(
'title' => NULL,
'limit' => 10,
'css_class' => NULL,
'show_expired' => FALSE,
'month' => NULL,
'category_slug' => NULL,
'order_by' => 'start_date',
//'order_by' => 'end_date',
'sort' => 'DESC',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'start_date',
'value' => '2017-01-08 08:00:00',
'type' => 'DATETIME',
'compare' => '>=',
),
)
);
I want to implement search functionality for Event Espresso and i have those fields:
State - Dropdown (How to list all state? May be Venue)
Category - Dropdown
Start Date - Datepicker
End Date - Datepicker
Keyword - input
On submit those values will be submitted and based on those , i will get filtered events that are related with those values.
So how to implement this?
Please help.
Thanks in Advance
A slightly delayed response to this...
First, this depends on the version of EE you're using. They support both EE3 and EE4. I use EE4, so any reference to code I make is specific to version 4.
In order to create an events archive with a filtering functionality, you'd need to use the EE events archive. EE uses custom database tables and a lot of different post types to achieve what you see, so creating a simple archive with these filters won't work very well. Very little is stored in the _posts and _postmeta tables and you need to get post meta from related post types and tables that aren't laid out like WP_Query likes. They have a shortcode for the events list, which is laid out here and has a lot of the filters you're looking for, but no search functionality.
Their support forum has a lot of snippets and such created by their staff and there's a (long) related post about formatting the events archive page here. You'll also need to go through this documentation to see about their custom methods and hooks.
You could copy over and modify the archive templates they describe in a child theme to add search functionality to the top of the page. This would allow you to directly override the archive. You'll need to make use of some fancy filters, which are covered pretty clearly over on WPMU Dev.
The pieces of information you're looking for for filtering are here, minus keyword:
<?php
if( have_posts() ){
while ( have_posts() ){ the_post(); // enter the WordPress loop
$id = get_the_ID(); // get the ID of the current post in the loop, post ID = EVT_ID
$terms = get_the_terms( $id, 'espresso_event_categories' ); // get the event categories for the current post
if ( $terms && ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ) {
$cats = array();
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
// do something
}
}
$event = EEM_Event::instance()->get_one_by_ID( $id ); // get the event OBJECT using EE's existing method
$venue = $event->venue(); // get the venue object for the current event
$state = $venue instanceof EE_Venue ? $venue->state_abbrev(); // get the event venue's state, but you can use state_name() to get the full name
// using the event to get the first and last date for the entire event. Sub $datetime for $event to do it per datetime
$start_date = $event->start_date('j M Y');
$end_date = $event->end_date('j M Y');
$start_time = $event->start_time(get_option('time_format'));
$end_time = $event->end_time(get_option('time_format'));
?>
<!-- Do some awesome layout stuff here -->
<?php
}
}
espresso_pagination();
?>
This will give you the meta for each post within the loop as variables, but you may want to pull them into pre_get_posts. You can just as easily create an array of $events and then filter it using the variables.
I'm not sure what your exact needs are regarding keyword. Do you mean tags? Title keywords? Description search? You'll need to narrow down exactly what you need this to do in order to write a function for it.
I have custom plugin for first adding lists to Wishlist plugin (Woocommerce) by users.
I have custom step by step form, where user can choose number of lists (from 1 to 10) and enter titles and descriptions for these new lists.
There is Ajax request on the last step of my form.
How do I add these lists to database?
I'm trying to add by wp_insert_post( $my_post ) but I should add settings for postmeta table too.
You could save the form results as custom post type with the results as custom fields.
Set the post type as not public and not set to not be in search results.
If they is no logic preformed on the wishlist you could set the data to array, and save it serialized in one field.
To send the data from front end (user page) to back end (server) you could or use wp ajax admin or through wp-rest api
Save fields to custom post type example. Could be the field name is different in your site so set to according to your fields key
// Create post object
$my_post = array(
'post_title' => wp_strip_all_tags( $_POST['post_title'] ),
'post_content' => $_POST['post_content'],
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => 1,
'post_category' => array( 8,39 ),
'post_type' => 'event'
);
// Insert the post into the database
$post_id = wp_insert_post( $my_post );
// Updating the meta data (custom fields values)
if ( isset( $_POST['_wishlist_email'] ) ) {
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_wishlist_email', sanitize_text_field( $_POST['_wishlist_email'] ) );
}
More info about saving custom fields in docs
If this wishlist is from a ready plugin, you could look in the plugin code to see how the plugin handles the saving wishlist data.
I have found:
WC_Wishlists_Wishlist::create_list($tittle));
I am working on an e-commerce deal site using woocommerce, and I would like to set up my deals in advanced. To start, I am displaying 1 product a day in a static homepage using the woocommerce shortcode:
[product_page id="1"]
How can I get the id to increment once a day, so that a new product is displayed every day? Are there any good extensions that allow me to force a WordPress page to edit itself every day?
Thanks!
You can write a shortcode to show one recent product. So that the recently added one product will be show on the page.
Use new WP_Query( $args ) with
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'product',
'posts_per_page' => 1,
);
Please refer the link for more details. You can also refer codex
You can also use this way without shortcode.
echo WC_Shortcodes::product_page( array( 'id' => 1) );
I've created a WordPress page with a Ninja form on it that collects miscellaneous data about a product, including some uploaded images. The page with the form is accessible from the main menu by clicking the "Input" item, so the user doesn't need to access the backend to upload their product data.
I now want to put this data into a custom post type called "Listing." There will eventually be thousands of these data sets and so thousands of "Listing" pages, as people come to the site, click Input in the main menu to get to the page with the Ninja form and fill it out.
Could someone tell me how they would go about now building these listing pages from the data the form has collected?
I'm running Ninja's Front-End Post option which supposedly will create a page from the form data. This plugin has some Post creation settings where you can select the post type to create, but this isn't working for me. I would expect the submitted form data to show up under dashboard | Listings, but there's nothing there after submitting the form.
Has anyone gotten this to work?
Thanks for your help.
I think you can use only Ninja Forms without extensions, and hook directly in 'ninja_forms_after_submission' that fires after submission and allow you to use data submitted and perform actions.
This is a starter codebase to achieve your result, but needs to be customized on your needs and your form structure.
add_action( 'ninja_forms_after_submission', 'create_page_from_ninjaform' );
function create_page_from_ninjaform( $form_data ){
// your fields data
$form_fields = $form_data[ 'fields' ];
// !!! this is an example, it depends form fields in your form
$title = $form_fields[ 1 ][ 'value' ];
$content = $form_fields[ 2 ][ 'value' ];
$sample_meta_field = $form_fields[ 3 ][ 'value' ];
$new_post = array(
'post_title' => $title,
'post_content' => $content,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_type' => 'listing', // be sure this is the post type name
);
$new_post_id = wp_insert_post( $new_post );
update_post_meta( $new_post_id, 'your_meta_key', $sample_meta_field );
}
This code should be copied in functions.php file
Not tested of course.
Good luck ;)
The Ninja Forms Front-end Posting extension isn't really meant for displaying form submission data on the front end.
From: https://ninjaforms.com/extensions/front-end-posting/
"The Ninja Forms Front-end Posting extension gives you the power of the WordPress post editor on any publicly viewable page you choose."
If you want to show Ninja Forms submission data on the front end, you will have to retrieve them from the database with code in functions.php or by writing a plugin (recommended). You could then parse and manipulate them and create a shortcode that would allow you to insert your formatted submission data easily in Wordpress posts or pages.
Here's a link to a feature request, asking for the same thing. The author of that request posted a link to a plugin (click Download as Plugin) they wrote which may do what you want or give you further insights as to how you could implement this.
https://github.com/wpninjas/ninja-forms/issues/892
If you do not mind paying a little money for a plugin I would recommend using gravity forms rather then ninja forms for more advanced stuff like this.
I manually create a custom post type "oproep" and used a gravityforms plugin to create a custom post from type oproep when an user submits the form.
Because you use custom post type archive pages www.mysite.com/oproep will be automatically created so you already have a list of "Listings". The singe pages www.mysite.com/oproep/title will also be created for you by default, you could override these templates as well if you would like depending on your theme.
The only thing you have to do is add a few php lines to your functions.php (or write your own plugin) that adds the custom post type. The rest all works automatically.
I went so far as writing code to make users able to edit their submissions, read custom taxonomy tags in dropdowns etc. You got lots and lots of more options using gravity forms.
FrancescoCarlucci's answer is correct, but just adding an additional comment: in case you want to specify by form field IDs which fields should go where in your post, NinjaForms passes the ID as a number (in my case for example, I needed field 136 for my post title). It may have been obvious but I racked my brain for a while until I figured it out.
function create_post($form_data) {
$form_fields = $form_data[ 'fields' ];
$post_fields = array(
'post_content' => '',
'post_content_filtered' => '',
'post_title' => '',
'post_excerpt' => '',
'post_status' => 'pending',
'post_type' => 'post',
);
foreach ($form_fields as $field) {
$field_id = $field[ 'id' ];
$field_key = $field[ 'key' ];
$field_value = $field[ 'value' ];
if ($field_id == 136) {
$post_fields['post_title'] = $field_value;
}
}
wp_insert_post($post_fields, true);
}
