| Action name | Alias name allowing to use targeted hook. It cannot be named custom, email, post or term. |
Validation
By default, there is no validation for this Action. You can use the acf/validate_value hook to validate each fields individually.
To validate the whole form, you can use the acfe/form/validation/my-action hook and throw errors with the acfe_add_validation_error() function. Usage example:
/*
* Custom Validation
*
* @array $form Form settings
* @string $post_id Post ID (where the form is displayed)
* @string $action Action name
*/
action('acfe/form/validation/my-action', $form, $post_id, $action);
action('acfe/form/validation/my-action/form=my-form', $form, $post_id, $action);add_action('acfe/form/validation/my-action', 'my_form_validation', 10, 3);
function my_form_validation($form, $post_id, $action){
// Get field input value
$my_field = get_field('my_field');
if($my_field === 'Company'){
// Add validation error
acfe_add_validation_error('my_field', 'The value Company is not allowed');
}
}Prepare
The preparation phase is triggered after the form validation and before its submission. Returning false will stop the Action and go to the next one. Usage example:
/*
* Custom Prepare
*
* @bool $prepare True/false
* @array $form Form settings
* @string $post_id Post ID (where the form is displayed)
* @string $action Action name
*/
filter('acfe/form/prepare/my-action', $prepare, $form, $post_id, $action);
filter('acfe/form/prepare/my-action/form=my-form', $prepare, $form, $post_id, $action);add_filter('acfe/form/prepare/my-action', 'my_form_prepare', 10, 4);
function my_form_prepare($prepare, $form, $post_id, $action){
// Do not process the action if user isn't logged in
if(!is_user_logged_in()){
$prepare = false;
}
// return
return $prepare;
}Submit
Trigger a custom action after the e-mail was sent using the acfe/form/submit/my-action hook. Usage example:
/*
* Custom Submit
*
* @array $form Form settings
* @string $action Action name
*/
action('acfe/form/submit/my-action', $form, $action);
action('acfe/form/submit/my-action/form=my-form', $form, $action);add_action('acfe/form/submit/my-action', 'my_form_submit', 10, 2);
function my_form_submit($form, $action){
/*
* Get the form input value named 'my_field'
*/
$my_field = get_field('my_field');
if($my_field === 'Company'){
// do_something();
}
/*
* Get previous Post Action output
*/
$prev_post_action = acfe_form_get_action('post');
if(!empty($prev_post_action)){
if($prev_post_action['post_title'] === 'Company'){
// do_something();
}
}
