Advanced Custom Fields: Link Picker Field

caalami

<p>This add on for the already established Advanced Custom Fields plugin adds a new field type called ‘Link Picker’ which allows the user to enter a URL, or select from the existing pages. It is a thin wrapper around the link selector included with the WYSIWYG field editor.</p>
<p>This plugin is forked from the plugin of the same name hosted at https://github.com/BIOSTALL/ACF-Link-Picker-Field. This version is hosted at https://github.com/ahebrank/ACF-Link-Picker-Field and issues and PRs should be submitted there.</p>
<p>Note: Advanced Custom Fields must be installed for this add-on to work.</p>
<h3>Compatibility</h3>
<p>This ACF field type is compatible with:</p>
<ul>
<li>ACF 5</li>
<li>ACF 4</li>
</ul>
<p><em>ACF 4 support is deprecated, and new plugin features will generally not work with ACF 4.</em></p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>When outputting the link selection on the front end, you will have three object elements available:</p>
<ul>
<li>url – The URL of the page</li>
<li>title – The title of the link, if entered</li>
<li>target – Will be either a blank string or ‘_blank’, depending on whether the user has ticked the box for the link to open in a new window/tab.</li>
<li>postid – Not available as part of wp_link, this is an ajax hack to attempt to look up the post ID of a selected link. This will return 0 if the post ID was not found.</li>
</ul>
<p>Code example:</p>
<pre><code>$mylink = get_field('mylink');
var_dump($mylink);
</code></pre>
<p>Outputs:</p>
<pre><code>array(3) {
  ["url"]=>
  string(31) "http://mysite.com/selected/url/"
  ["title"]=>
  string(10) "Link Title"
  ["target"]=>
  string(6) "_blank"
  ["postid"]=>
  int 2231
}
</code></pre>
