<p>The filed selector field allows the selection of other custom fields. This is useful in situations where you want to give the user powerful display options. You could, for example, allow the user to select which custom fields are displayed in a post.</p>
<h4>ACF Compatibility</h4>
<p>This ACF field type is compatible with both <em>ACF 4</em> and <em>ACF 5</em>.</p>

ACF: Field Selector

A field for Advanced Custom Fields which allows users to select a list of created custom fields

Eduardo Marcolino

<p>This ACF plugin makes it possible to store ACF data in structured database tables instead of WordPress core meta tables.</p>
<p>It uses ACF’s <code>acf/update_field_group</code> hook to create/update the database and then uses <code>acf/save_post</code> hook to store the data.</p>
<p>It was heavily inspired by Austin Ginder’s post <a href="https://anchor.host/acf-custom-fields-stored-in-custom-table/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://anchor.host/acf-custom-fields-stored-in-custom-table/</a>.</p>
<p>You can contribute to this plugin by submit PR/Issue in <a href="https://github.com/eduardo-marcolino/acf-fields-in-custom-table" rel="nofollow ugc">https://github.com/eduardo-marcolino/acf-fields-in-custom-table</a>.</p>

<h4>Relational Fields</h4>
<p>This plugin supports the following relational field types: Post Object, Page Link, Relationship, Taxonomy and User.</p>
<p>It can store both single and multiple values based on the <code>multiple</code> option.</p>
<ul>
<li>If it’s a single value field, then the column type will be <code>bigint(20) unsigned</code></li>
<li>If it’s a multiple value field, then the column type will be longtext and the date will be stored in json format.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can query relational fields with multiple values using using MySQL’s function <a href="https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/json-search-functions.html#function_json-contains" rel="nofollow ugc">JSON_CONTAINS</a>.<br />
Here is an example:</p>
<p>Table:</p>
<pre><code>+---------+-------------------+--------+
| post_id |       title       | stores |
+---------+-------------------+--------+
|       1 | Lord of the Flies | [1,2]  |
|       2 | The Island        | [2]    |
|       3 | 1984              | [3]    |
+---------+-------------------+--------+
</code></pre>
<p>Query:</p>
<pre><code>SELECT * FROM wp_acf_books WHERE JSON_CONTAINS(stores, 2, '$')
</code></pre>
<p>The query above will return “Lord of the Flies” and “The Island”.</p>
<h4>ACF Compatibility</h4>
<p>This plugin was tested with <em>ACF 5 FREE Version</em> .</p>
