ACF Pro 6.0

[salt-istanbul]

Hi,
qtranslate-xt / acf integration not working with ACF Pro 6.0.

[Komarovski]

Here's a quick fix for front-end, add this function to your functions.php file:

function qtranslate_filter_acf_fields($value, $post_id, $field){
$value = qtranxf_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage($value);
return $value;
}
add_filter('acf/format_value/type=file', 'qtranslate_filter_acf_fields', 10, 3);
add_filter('acf/format_value/type=image', 'qtranslate_filter_acf_fields', 10, 3);
add_filter('acf/format_value/type=post_object', 'qtranslate_filter_acf_fields', 10, 3);
add_filter('acf/format_value/type=text', 'qtranslate_filter_acf_fields', 10, 3);
add_filter('acf/format_value/type=textarea', 'qtranslate_filter_acf_fields', 10, 3);
add_filter('acf/format_value/type=url', 'qtranslate_filter_acf_fields', 10, 3);
add_filter('acf/format_value/type=wysiwyg', 'qtranslate_filter_acf_fields', 10, 3);

Thanks @Komarovski
but the most important problem there's no any qtranslate-xt field option on ACF field group page.

Version 6 is currently not supported, so I would recommend not using it just yet.
In addition, many problems with version 5 still need to be fixed. To this day I still don't understand why the QTX plugin clones the ACF fields.

If you still want to use ACF(-PRO) 6+, you must first allow this in the acf_qtranslate_plugin class:

init()
acf_enabled()

All of this is obsolete with qTranslate-XT 3.12.1 released Sept 4. The acf_qtranslate_plugin class doesn't exist anymore (see #1191 and #1187).
The new qtranxf_acf_init allows any ACF >= 5.0.0.
But it's possible some things are broken with ACF 6, I haven't tried it yet. Please update your QT-XT to latest version.

@salt-istanbul @Komarovski @MKRD-SUPPORT Which qTranslate-XT version are you using?

I can't reproduce the problem with ACF 6.0.3 Free.
It should work already with qTranslate-XT 3.12.1 that was released September 4 so it's been already available for quite some time.
It wasn't an intentional fix for ACF6 that I wasn't even aware of at that time but I extended the support of any ACF >= 5.0.0.
I don't think it should be different with ACF 6 Pro for the main functionalities. There's a specific issue for custom ACF option pages reported in #1233 but I'm not able to see this with ACF free.

To this day I still don't understand why the QTX plugin clones the ACF fields.

I'm not the original author, but I guess the main reason was because the rendering of translated fields is specific to the current language. Perhaps that could be handled differently with hooks instead of registering new fields?

[herrvigg]

To this day I still don't understand why the QTX plugin clones the ACF fields.

In fact there's an option in the qTranslate / ACF tab called "Enable translation for Standard Field Types". If you tick that, it will enable the ML support for ACF fields: text, textarea, wysiwyg - though there's a known problem with wysiwyg reported in #1186. I don't know yet why it's only for those fields, perhaps it could be extended.

In the production environment I will not update to the current state of the plugin: ACF(-Pro) 5.12.3, QTX 3.11.0

I'm sorry, but I don't have time to deal with the plugin in the near future.

[herrvigg]

To me there's no major problem with ACF6, it works but you need QTX 3.12.1 or later.
Let's see what the others say.

[herrvigg]

However I will keep this ticket open for this problem with the ACF group title.

There's a regression with ACF6 because they removed the form... so QT-XT can't send the current language being edited... the switching buttons have move down, they seem to work but only the last language is saved and it overwrites the others 😕

Error in the console log
No form found for translatable field id= title

Fortunately it's only for the title so it's a minor issue. The switching buttons work and the hidden fields are created correctly though, so there's some hope to fix that.

[herrvigg]

Just in case, if you want a quicker and simpler fix on an older version of QT-XT just change these lines:

qtranslate-xt/modules/acf/src/plugin.php

Line 35 in fbe2765

if ( $this->acf_major_version() === 5 ) {

qtranslate-xt/modules/acf/src/plugin.php

Line 50 in fbe2765

return $this->acf_major_version() === 5;

Replace the check

 $this->acf_major_version() === 5

with

$this->acf_major_version() >= 5

That should do the job to keep most of the QT-XT module for ACF working without adding any code. You can even remove the version checks completely for temporary tests. I realized it was artificially limited so I changed that in 3.12.1 along with a lot of code refactoring. The rest should not impact the existing functionalities at all.

[herrvigg]

Since this topic was created for another reason about the ACF version, better have a separate issue for field title: #1252 .
The current issue should be solved already with QTX 3.12.1.
Note there was also a regression with the LSB #1233 but it's unrelated to ACF6, already fixed in master.
