ACF – select field, it show only val
Hi,
I created a custom field that is a select box. I’ve added the column to my admin listing, however it displays the value instead of the option text. For example, if I had <option val=”1″>Option</option> your plugins displays 1 in the column instead of ‘Option’.
Is there a way to get the text to appear? also I’m not sure which type field I should put, array ?
Thanks
Because you wrote custom code to generate the select box, Admin Columsn won’t be able to retrieve the label corresponding to each value. However, you can change the outputted value by using this developer filter: cac-column-meta-value. Here you’ll find a couple of example usages.
Here is a custom example I made to illustrate your case:
function my_column_meta_custom_value( $value, $object_id, $column ) {
$custom_field_key = 'custom_field_key'; // Enter your custom field key
if ( 'column-meta' == $column->get_type() && $custom_field_key == $column->get_field() ) {
if ( '1' == $value ) {
$value = 'Option';
}
else if ( '2' == $value ) {
$value = 'Anoter option';
}
//.. etc
}
return $value;
}
add_filter( 'cac/column/meta/value', 'my_column_meta_custom_value', 10, 3 );
