Edit custom post from User Dashboard

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback!

You can pass a custom data to a form such as the Post ID to update, and then retrieve it in your Form UI using the {form:my_data} template tag.

This will allow you to create a page called /update-list for example, which will display a form that will update a specific post, with the post id that you programmatically set.

You’ll find a guide explaining this process in the “Passing Data to a Form” guide here.

Hope it helps!

Have a nice day!

Regards.

Thanks for your answer.

Please, can you give me a code example for my case.
User can submit only one post, I get this function with this code and is working well

add_filter('acfe/form/load/form=band_submit', 'my_form_settings', 10, 2);
function my_form_settings($form, $post_id){

    // get current user
    $user = wp_get_current_user();
    
    // check for current user role CUSTOMER
    if(in_array('um_band-author', (array) $user->roles)){
        
        // get posts of the current user (by post_author)
        $get_user_posts = get_posts(array(
        'post_type'      => 'band',
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
        'author'         => get_current_user_id()
    ));

        // CUSTOMER has at least 1 post, hide the form
        if(count($get_user_posts) > 0){
            
            // hide the form
            return false;
		
		}
    }

    // display form
    return $form;
    
}

I’m trying to make edit from extra page ( /edit-post ) but without success
My form for editing is band_edit

thanks

Hello!

If you want to use a generic page such as /edit-post that display a form which edit a specific post from the current logged user seeing the page, you’ll have to pass post id you want that form update as explained in the Passing Data to a Form tutorial.

It can be represented like this:

add_filter('acfe/form/load/form=edit_page', 'my_form_edit_page', 10, 2);
function my_form_edit_page($form, $post_id){
    
    // get current user id
    $user_id = get_current_user_id();
    
    // no user id, hide the form
    if(!$user_id){
        return false;
    }
    
    // get the "band" post where the current user is author
    $get_user_posts = get_posts(array(
        'post_type'      => 'band',
        'posts_per_page' => 1,
        'author'         => $user_id
    ));
    
    // no band post found, hide the form
    if(empty($get_user_posts)){
        return false;
    }
    
    // get the first post id found in the query results
    $post_id_to_edit = $get_user_posts[0];
    
    // pass 'post_to_edit' to the form
    // this can be retrieved in the Form UI
    // using {form:post_tot_edit} as "Target" or "Load source" in the Post Action settings
    $form['post_to_edit'] = $post_id_to_edit;
    
    // return form
    return $form;
    
}

You can then use the {form:post_to_edit} Template Tag in the Form UI, as Post Action “Target” and “Load Source” settings for example.

Hope it helps!

Have a nice day!
