    Hello!

    I’m glad you enjoy ACF Extended ?? Regarding your questions:

    1/ Well this would involve some hard work, what you ask for looks like the native WP customizer feature but for front-end users. I cannot give you a perfect code as it would vary depending on your theme and style.

    There is a feature request which is bit related tho, being able to edit ACF fields in the front-end via a side panel. This is something that is doable, but it will be available for logged users in the WP-Admin section at first. The feature request is here: https://trello.com/c/rB10gThS/16-acf-front-end-fields-edition

    2/ Can you send me some screenshots of your form configuration, specifically the “Update” action with tabs etc…?

    There is probably a problem with the “load value” setting & fields mapping data.

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards.

    Hi
    Thanks for replaying
    Regarding number one
    I wrote acf support and this is what they wrote me:

    —————-
    You will need to manipulate fields on the client-side using javascript.

    We have the ACF javascript API which makes it easy to attach an event to a field of your choice.

    For example:
    // get the field instance
    var field = acf.getField(‘your_field_id’);

    // add an event OnChange
    field.on(‘onChange’, ‘.wp-color-picker’, function( e ){
    //Use field value to change the color of title
    });

    https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/javascript-api/#acf.field
    —————————
    What you wrote regarding a side panel ‘ this is actualy what im doing right now
    I added a side panel with front form shortcode/paenl is accsiable only to author of the post
    The panel is attached to single post type template
    And actually it works good
    I wish it could act like a live editor

    You think that it can be done with what acf support wrote me?

    Regarding 2
    I discovered what went wrong when fields are wrapped in groups

    on front end they wont load the values
    when i remove them from group they get values

    ive noticed that my reapator fileds dont load values
    do you know maybe if its a bug or ami doing somthing wrongs

    thanks a lot

    Hello,

    1/ Yes, the code they gave you is correct. You can definitely work this out. It will require to dive in Javascript tho.

    2/ I need to see some screenshots to understand what’s going on.

    Maybe you can join us on Slack so we can discuss it (here is an invitation link).

    Regards.
