Simple Custom

Defining custom posts with ACF fields traditionally requires writing a lot of large, redundant arrays. This plugin adds helper functions that allow you to create robust custom posts (and pages) using ACF pro with small amounts of code.

Attributes

Custom posts are made up of attributes. Use functions in includes/attribute_helpers.php to create completely custom attributes.

includes/basic_attributes.php

// ...

function image_attributes($prefix = '') {
  return basic_attributes('Image', $prefix, array(
    'type' => 'image'
  ));
}

function link_attributes($prefix = '') {
  return basic_attributes('Link', $prefix, array(
    'type' => 'text'
  ));
}

// ...

Post Types

Post types define a singular and plural label for the post type along with abbreviated options for creating custom post types. fields is an array of attribute names defined by functions in includes/basic_attributes.php

web/app/themes/YOUR_THEME/includes/custom_post_types.php

register_simple_custom_post('Grocery Retailer', 'Grocery Retailers', array(
  'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-store',
  'fields'    => array(
    'image_attributes',
    'link_attributes'
  )
));

Pages

register_simple_custom_page(array(
  'title'    => 'Our Purpose',
  'template' => 'page-our-purpose.php',
  'sections' => array(
    array(
      'title'  => 'Content Blocks',
      'fields' => array(
        'content_block_attributes'
      )
    )
  )
));
