Integrating Advanced Custom Fields

Advanced Custom Fields plugin allows you to create user-friendly administration pages and custom fields.

Configuration

Advanced Custom Fields initiation files may be easily blended into a current folder structure. It's recommended to create additional ACF/ directory inside Structure/ folder. You can hold there all components related to ACF (like creating fields schema and custom admin pages).

theme
  ├── app/
  │   ├── Structure/
  │   │   ├── ACF/                # — Directory for ACF components
  │   │   │   ├── settings.php    # — Theme settings page configuration file

Remember to add a file path of the new component to autoload list inside a configuration file.

'autoload' => [
  //...
  'Structure/ACF/settings.php',
  //...
]

Examples

Administration page for theme's general settings

Let's create the settings page for our theme.

namespace Tonik\Theme\App\Structure\ACF;

use function Tonik\Theme\App\config;

acf_add_options_page([
  'page_title' => __('Theme Settings', config('textdomain')),
  'menu_title' => __('Theme Settings', config('textdomain')),
  'menu_slug' => 'theme-settings',
  'capability' => 'edit_posts',
  'redirect' => false
]);
