Need help with this about acf-website-field HOT 24 CLOSED

Hello,
So you have the "acf-website-field" folder in your theme folder?

Once you have that, you need to edit your functions.php file and add the following line to activate the field for Advanced Custom Fields.

include_once( rtrim( dirname( FILE ), '/' ) . '/acf-website-field/website_url.php' );

Are you getting any error messages?

from acf-website-field.

Yes, the folder is in my current theme folder. When I add that line, I get this:

Fatal error: Class 'acf_Field' not found in /home/content/67/9284167/html/wp-content/themes/shiny/acf-website-field/website_url.php on line 15

from acf-website-field.

Whenever I add the code, I have to re-install my functions.php file via ftp because that's all my whole website displays...

from acf-website-field.

That error message suggests that you don't have Advanced Custom Fields plugin active I think but could be wrong on that.

from acf-website-field.

Ok. I am able to modify the fields and it shows up in my post editor, so I
know it is activated...

I added the code to add a date & time field, and was able to get that one to
work, but it was different looking code... I found that one here:

Does that help at all?

Would you be willing to install this for me if I gave you my login info? I've tried everything :(

from acf-website-field.

I apologize for this, I had the wrong includes in my functions instructions.

Can you download a fresh zip and use the following code in your functions.php file?

register_field('Website_field', dirname(File) . '/acf-website-field/website_url.php');

from acf-website-field.

Thank you for checking and fixing it! I am so new at this that I assumed I
was doing something wrong, lol. All is working now and it's exactly what I
was looking for.

Oops one more thing. When I add a url and check the box "open in a new
window", it actually makes it open in the same window. If the box is
unchecked, then it opens in a new window.

Hey Eric,

Good catch. You can replace line 271 in the php file to correct this.
if($value['internal'] == '1'){ $external = 'target="_blank"';};

What are your thoughts on this, either the default option for all website links is an external link (new window) and when adding the field to give the option to make it internal link?

Or is it better to have the link default as internal link with a user checking if its external?

from acf-website-field.

Thanks again, I will add that in! :)

I would say the default should be external link/new window, with a choice to
make it open in the same window... I guess just because most sites I've come
across seem to do it that way.

Will you be writing any more plugins/custom fields to add on? I wish I knew
how to make some!

Erica

Erica, thanks for your thoughts, I agree and have updated the code to do the external link as default with a "Open in Same window" checkbox.

from acf-website-field.

Great. But, question: my links aren't showing up at all now on my posts - I
replaced the php file with the new release. Any ideas?

Wondering if you saw my last message... After the code update, now my links aren't showing up on post pages.

from acf-website-field.

Very sorry Erica, I didnt see your message, oops!

Fixed now, uploaded new file but you can just edit your php file.

Replace line 286 - if($value['url'] == '' ){

from acf-website-field.

No problem, I had forgotten about it too, hehe. Still not showing up for me on the front end, even though I uploaded all new files. Can't figure out what's wrong.

from acf-website-field.

Hmm, not able to duplicate the error. I am seeing any link I add in my post when I add Which I was not before hand I was not before editing the code.

from acf-website-field.

Is there any way to download the old code? I'm so bummed! I've tried with new field names and everything.

from acf-website-field.

If you can edit the php file we can get it back to before.

like 286 :
if($value['url'] == '' ){
return $value;
};

remove all of that except the return $value; part, that should work.

I can email you an older file if you like also.

from acf-website-field.

Ugh :( Now I get an error. Sorry about all this. I could PM you an admin login if you'd be willing to look at it - totally up to you, I appreciate all the help you've given me so far! Like I said I'm pretty new at this. 'memorial_link' is the url field that isn't showing up.

I don't have a single.php in my theme so all my code to display the fields is in the index.php... you'd just search for this:

from acf-website-field.

I dont mind logging in and checking it out for you.

PM away!

from acf-website-field.

Thanks! Couldn't figure out how to PM so I sent a message thru your website link.

from acf-website-field.

That should fix it up!

yay!

from acf-website-field.

Nice, thank you for your help!! What had I done wrong? lol
