Dashboard

ACF Extended adds a new location allowing to display and update ACF fields on the WP Dashboard.

Fields Values

By default, fields values are saved using a custom Post ID: dashboard.

You can retrieve the value using the common get_field() function. Usage example:

// My Field
$textarea = get_field('my_field', 'dashboard');

Widget Arguments

it is possible to customize the widget arguments using the acfe/dashboard_widget_args fitler.

/**
 * Dashboard Widget Args
 * 
 * @array   $widget       The widget arguments
 * @array   $field_group  The field group settings
 * @return  array
 */
filter('acfe/dashboard_widget_args',                         $widget, $field_group);
filter('acfe/dashboard_widget_args/key=group_5ffeea53d3402', $widget, $field_group);

add_filter('acfe/dashboard_widget_args/key=group_5ffeea53d3402', 'my_acfe_widget_args', 10, 2);
function my_acfe_widget_args($widget, $field_group){
    
    /**
     * $widget = array(
     *     'title'           => 'My Field Group',
     *     'updated_message' => 'Widget updated.',
     *     'update_button'   => 'Update',
     *     'capability'      => 'edit_posts',
     *     'post_id'         => 'dashboard',
     *     'autoload'        => false,
     * );
     */
    
    // change the saved post_id
    $widget['post_id'] = 'options';
    
    // return
    return $widget;
    
}
