ACF fields for user on registration + updating user details

[mattprudente]

ACF to Rest v3.0.1-beta
WP OAuth Server - Pro v3.3.8
WP v4.7.5
AngularJS v1

I have managed to authorise creating of the user and also for POST/PUT to the users ACF field but it isn't actually saving anything. I am using a taxonomy field that saves the Term ID. I POST a term ID to the /wp-json/acf/v3/users/{id} endpoint with data: { "fields": { "field": termID}}. It returns a success but either doesn't create the data for the registering user OR update data for an exisiting user when they edit their profile.

Please advise! Thanks you.

Hey Matt,

I found the solution creating first the user them in the callback of it updating the ACF fields. The point is: It's not possible do the two actions at the same time.

Did you solve this by another way?

To fix this with ACF5 i changed the code as follow:

In

acf-to-rest-api/v3/lib/class-acf-to-rest-api-acf-api.php

Line 64 in 99c7731

add:

if(is_string($this->id)){
	$this->id = preg_replace("/[^0-9,.]/", "", $this->id );
}

And replace

acf-to-rest-api/v3/lib/class-acf-to-rest-api-acf-api.php

Line 133 in 99c7731

$field_groups = acf_get_field_groups( array( 'post_id' => $id ) );

with:

if ( strpos( $id, 'user_' ) !== false ) {
	$filter = array('user_id' => str_replace( 'user_', '', $id ) );
	$user = get_userdata( $filter["user_id"] );
	if( ! $user || ! $user->exists() || empty($user->roles) || !user_can($user->ID, $user->roles[0])){
		$filter["user_id"] = "new";
	}
} else {
	$filter = array( 'post_id' => $id );
}
$field_groups = acf_get_field_groups( $filter );

@ghost You absolutely saved my ass on this one! Fantastic! This was able to work for me for the node-wpapi configuration!

apiPromise.then((site) => {
  site.users().me().update({
    fields:{
      stocks: newMeta
    }
  }).then(function( response ) {
    console.log( response );
  }).catch((err) => {
    console.log( err );
  });
});

		$filter["user_id"] = "new";
	}
} else {
	$filter = array( 'post_id' => $id );
}
$field_groups = acf_get_field_groups( $filter );

THANKS!

Bang after searching google for 3 hours

[acionegatilho]

in class-acf-to-rest-api-controller.php

change:  $this->acf->get_field_objects( $id );
to: get_field_objects( $id );

this resolve my problem

[robert-j-peterson]

Thanks, everyone. I had to implement both acionegatilho and shwetdalal changes to get this to fire. :)
