Form Action url

UPDATE* Think i might have sorted the hidden field by using [advanced_form form=”form_***********” exclude_fields=”*fieldname*”]

Hi!

exclude_fields will remove a field from the form but won’t let you add a hidden input. The best way to do that is with this action: https://advancedforms.github.io/actions/af/form/hidden_fields/. Changing the form target URL can be done through the target argument: https://advancedforms.github.io/guides/available-arguments/#target.

I hope that helps!

Thanks for the reply @fabianlindfors

Can these extra parts just be added by shortcode or do I have to add them in the themes function.php?

Sorry if this is a silly question.

Thanks

The hidden field needs to be added with action I linked.

The target argument on the other hand can be set either through the shortcode or using another filter: https://advancedforms.github.io/filters/af/form/args/.

Thanks @fabianlindfors which file would I need to add the action php to? I’ve never really used ACF before so any help would be great.

Those are regular old WordPress filters so you should be fine adding it to your functions.php or similar!

Ah that’s perfect I’ll just add it to the themes functions.php and see how it goes!

Hey @fabianlindfors I tried using the above action:

The best way to do that is with this action: https://advancedforms.github.io/actions/af/form/hidden_fields/.

on my themes functions.php however it gave me an error.

<?php

function hidden_field( $form, $args ) {

    echo sprintf( '<input type="hidden" name="key" value="MTI4NzQxNTE1Nzl=");
}
add_action( 'af/form/hidden_fields/key=form_5efa926b56d9e', 'hidden_field', 10, 2 );

I think this may have something to do with the add_action line.

Could you take a look please?

UPDATE**

I think i spotted the error @fabianlindfors this looks better. Just so i know i am right the hidden field I want to pass is MTI4NzQxNTE1Nzl=

and the form key is form_5efa926b56d9e do you think this looks ok now to add to my themes function.php?

function hidden_field( $form, $args ) {

echo sprintf( ‘<input type=”hidden” name=”key” value=”MTI4NzQxNTE1Nzl=”>’);
}
add_action( ‘af/form/hidden_fields/key=form_5efa926b56d9e’, ‘hidden_field’, 10, 2 );

Ok, i’ve got a step further however it looks like it is trying to pull lots of other fields from acf which arent listed on my form. Do you know why it might do this @fabianlindfors

My url is: https://www.activetalentagency.com/book/

Hi again! Your code looks good but worth noting that you don’t need sprintf in your case!

Regarding other fields being added, what location rule have you set for the unexpected fields in the ACF settings?

Thanks for the quick reply @fabianlindfors

It is showing errors after submitting for fields I don’t even have listed in acf.

For example my page at the moment has 3 acf fields which link to a form.

The location rule is set: Form is equal to Booking (which is a form name I created).

If you look at the page and submit some test data you will see the errors:

I only need to pass 3 fields (To test as i will need to add more later) which are “field_5efa929573e1c”:”Date”,”field_5efa92c373e1f”:”Name”,”field_625ea12bd6221″:”Email”
