Flexible content – Layout Thumbnails

    When you create a flexible content block and then add layouts within it your extension (which is amazing) allows for thumbnails to be assigned.

    How ever these are assigned via the media Library. When I export my ACF Fields from one site and import to another the thumb nail images are lost so I have to spend a great deal of time reassigning these thumb nail images when I either update my theme across multiple domains or do a new install.

    Is there any where I can hard code the thumb nail images via php within the theme to save me from losing them every time I update the ACF fields via import / export.

    Many thanks,

  • Hey Grayzee,

    This is not in response to your question, but I was just wondering if you are having any issues with the the dynamic preview. I can’t seem to make the preview match the front end. Front end is fine, but the preview is distorted. Seems like it is mainly the fonts.

    Thanks, Rob

    Hi @robswebdev

    I have not really had much luck with the dynamic preview. My themes css is written in sass and compiled on the fly using gulp so it didn’t seem worth using.

    I was planning on writing some php that auto assigns my module images to the wp back end to give some visuals when editing a page. They would how ever be static but would be enough for users to know what blocks they are editing.

    I did think about changing my themes setup so each module had its own gulp setup but never got round to that either.

    Sorry for the not very helpful response.

    Hello @grayzee,

    You will find filters in the FAQ that will allow you to hardcode thumbnails for each layouts:

    
// add_filter('acfe/flexible/thumbnail/name=my_flexible', 'acf_flexible_layout_thumbnail', 10, 3);
// add_filter('acfe/flexible/thumbnail/key=field_xxxxxx', 'acf_flexible_layout_thumbnail', 10, 3);

// add_filter('acfe/flexible/layout/thumbnail/name=my_flexible&layout=my_layout', 'acf_flexible_layout_thumbnail', 10, 3);
// add_filter('acfe/flexible/layout/thumbnail/key=field_xxxxxx&layout=my_layout', 'acf_flexible_layout_thumbnail', 10, 3);

add_filter('acfe/flexible/layout/thumbnail/layout=my_layout', 'acf_flexible_layout_thumbnail', 10, 3);
function acf_flexible_layout_thumbnail($thumbnail, $field, $layout){

    // Must return an URL or Attachment ID
    return 'https://www.example.com/my-image.jpg';

}

    You can target specific layout, or even all layouts from specific flexible content fields. Also, remember: you must return an url (relative/absolute) or an attachment ID.

    Hope it helps ??

    Have a good day!

    PS: @robswebdev I’ll answer to your question on your topic.
