Create account and post in 1 form

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback!

I’m glad to hear that you enjoy ACF Extended 🙂

The Template Tag you’re looking for is {action:user:ID} (See documentation). If you set that Template Tag in the Post Action “Author” field, it will tell the form to use the previous “User Action” ID as the author of the post.

Additionally, if you want to automatically log the user on form submission, you can use the following code:

add_action('acfe/form/submit/user/form=my-form', 'my_form_submit', 10, 5);
function my_form_submit($user_id, $type, $args, $form, $action){
    
    // log user after user registration
    wp_clear_auth_cookie();
    wp_set_current_user($user_id);
    wp_set_auth_cookie($user_id);
    
}

Note that there will be a setting allowing you to do that from the From UI in a future version, but in the meantime, you can use this code.

Hope it helps!

Have a nice day!

Regards.

Awesome!

Thanks for the nice review BTW 🙂

Hello,

First, I would recommend to use the Post Object field with a single select. So the value saved in the database will be a single Post ID, instead of an array of Post IDs (that’s how the Relationship field save values). Having a single ID in the database is easier to query posts with WP_Query.

Regarding your question about the “Comment Form” on a Post, you can simply update your Post Object (relationship) using the acfe/form/submit/post hook if you’re using a Post Action to create your comment (See documentation).

In that hook you can use update_field() (See documentation) to update your relationship with the current post id (where the Comment Form is displayed). usage example:

add_action('acfe/form/submit/post/form=my-form', 'my_form_submit', 10, 5);
function my_form_submit($post_id, $type, $args, $form, $action){

    // $post_id is the newly created "comment" post id
    
    // retrieve current post id (where the form is displayed)
    $current_post_id = $form['post_id'];
    
    // update relationship with current post id
    update_field('my_relationship', $current_post_id, $post_id);
    
}

If you need to pass other custom data to your “Comment Form” to use it in the UI or a hook, I owuld recommend to check the guide: Passing Data to a Form.

Hope it helps!

Have a nice day!
