Multiple polls as a shortcode

If you are using the Gutenberg editor you can use the ACF Onyx Poll Block under the blocks options.

For shortcode, each poll has a unique ID and you can pass with the ID parameter. For example: [onyx-poll id=XX]

So for multiple polls, just add multiple shortcodes like:

[onyx-poll id=10]
[onyx-poll id=11]
[onyx-poll id=12]

Alright, thank you. That’ll do for now ??

Anyway – one more question, is there any reason I cannot get the current user data inside your plugin?

Is there any easy way to do this?

Almost every time I get 0 for current ID.

I’m trying to get the current user ID inside poll-api.php right before you post the results in the poll post.

I would need to see how you are doing this. Maybe it’s something related to WordPress REST API

If you create an issue on Github with some example, I can check in my spare time

Hey,

Actually haven’t inserted any big code – just tried getting the current user in function ‘vote’.

/**
	 * Compute vote
	 * @param int $req['poll'] poll ID required
	 * @param int $req['choice'] poll answer choice required
	 * @todo: [$poll_choice - 1] is just a temp fix. maybe acf/settings/row_index_offset filter?
	 */
	public function vote($req) {
	
		// params vars
		$poll_id       = $req['poll'];
		$poll_choice   = (int) $req['choice'];
		$poll_answers  = get_field($this->field['answers'], $poll_id);
		$poll_total    = get_field($this->field['total'], $poll_id);
		$poll_expired  = get_field($this->field['expired'], $poll_id);
		$poll_limit    = get_field($this->field['limit_vote'], $poll_id);

		// validate params from req
		if (!is_numeric($poll_id) || !isset($poll_choice) || empty($poll_answers[$poll_choice - 1])) {
			return new WP_Error('error', $this->message['invalid'], array('status' => 400));
		}
		if ($poll_expired || get_post_type($poll_id) != 'onyxpolls') {
			return new WP_Error('error', $this->message['no_exist'], array('status' => 400));
		}
		if (isset($_COOKIE["onyx_poll_limit_$poll_id"]) && $poll_limit != 1) {
			$response = array(
				"code"     => "not_allowed",
				"id"       => $poll_id,
				"message"  => $this->message['no_allowed'],
				"voted"    => false,
				"data"     => ["status" => 200]
			);
		} else {
			// update vote fields
			$add_vote = array(
				"votes" => $poll_answers[$poll_choice - 1]['votes']+1
			);
			$row   = update_row($this->field['answers'], $poll_choice, $add_vote, $poll_id);
			$total = update_field($this->field['total'], $poll_total+1, $poll_id);

			// set cookies
			// limit = 1 (free vote)
			// limit = 2 (per device/no expires)
			$this->setcookie($poll_id, $poll_choice);

 
	   		$user_id = get_current_user_id(); // RETURNS 0

			// global $current_user;
		 	//get_currentuserinfo();
		   	//var_dump($current_user->ID);

	   		/* when the POLL is answered get the current user ID in an repeater acf field which I've implemented in each post (poll) via acf */
	   		/* I'm trying to LIMIT the submission to a USER - so not per defice - but poll per user */	   		
			$field_key = "field_5f220c11c3fc1"; // repeater field
			$value = array('field_5f220c36c3fc2' => $user_id);
			add_row($field_key, $value, $poll_id);

			// do_action('acf/save_post', $poll_id);		  
			// wp_redirect(add_query_arg('updated', 'success', wp_get_referer()));

			// return reponse
			$response = array(
				"code"     => ($row && $total) ? "success" : 'error',
				"poll"     => $poll_id,
				"choice"   => $poll_choice,
				"message"  => ($row && $total) ? $this->message['success'] : $this->message['error'],
				"voted"    => ($row && $total) ? true : false,
				"data"     => ["status" => 200]
			);
		}

		$response += $this->poll_data($poll_id);
		return new WP_REST_Response($response, 200);
	}

Take a look at the comments. Tried to take the current user id with get_current_user_id() and it returns 0.

What I’m actually trying to do is to limit the poll per USER.

Thank you.

The WordPress REST API operates differently for user roles

Please, see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55801175/get-current-user-inside-register-rest-route-method

Alright, thanks – I’ll give it a look.

Anyhow any advice on how can I limit the poll to a user?
