README
Description
WP-CLI for Advanced Custom Fields helps you manage your field-groups through WP-CLI. The reason we started this project is to make life easier for developers working on Wordpress projects using the Advanced Custom Fields Pro plugin. Fields can now easily be imported, exported and shared over SVN, GIT or comparable systems.
Installation
Requirements
- Advanced Custom Fields 5 Pro plugin
wp-cli
http://wp-cli.org/
How to install
Install WP-CLI as described on http://wp-cli.org/
Using composer: (doesn't work for now until we have released the plugin on wordpress.org/plugins)
composer require wpackagist-plugin/advanced-custom-fields-wpcli
By GIT clone in plugins directory:
git clone https://github.com/hoppinger/advanced-custom-fields-wpcli.git
WordPress plugin installation: Download zip and put the files in the plugins directory.
- Activate this plugin in the plugin menu or using:
wp plugin activate advanced-custom-fields-wpcli
Go the wordpress directory in your terminal and run:
wp acf
To see if everything is working correctly.
When the plugin is enabled, any exported field groups found on the filesystem in your registered paths will be added to Wordpress at runtime.
If you would like to disable this behaviour you can remove the acf_wpcli_register_groups
action:
remove_action('plugins_loaded', 'acf_wpcli_register_groups');
Commands
This project adds the acf
command to wp-cli
with the following subcommands:
Help
wp acf
Prints the help overview and can be used as a default test to see if the plugin is working.
Export
Export a field-group to a json file in the directory set by a filter.
wp acf export
For testing purposes, etc. you can also define a export directory explicitly without applying the filter by using the --export_path
parameter.
wp acf export --export_path=acf-exports/
You want to export all field-groups all at once you can use:
wp acf export --all
Import
wp acf import
Import all or specific fields from a option menu,
Clean
wp acf clean
Delete all Advanced Custom Fields Records from the database. Do this after you have edited fields-groups from the UI and exported the changes. Warning: This can not be undone, please use carefully
Filters
acfwpcli_fieldgroup_paths
The acfwpcli_fieldgroup_paths gives you the ability to add more paths where ACF-CLI should load/export from/to. You should always add at least one path to this filter.
add_filter( 'acfwpcli_fieldgroup_paths', 'add_plugin_path' );
public function add_plugin_path( $paths ) {
$paths['my_plugin'] = MY_PLUGIN_ROOT . '/lib/field-groups/';
return $paths;
}
Unit testing
To test changes to the plugin you can use unit testing. Start by making sure all the necessary dependencies are installed, if not run:
composer install
You will need a new Wordpress installation to make sure the tests run independent from your Wordpress installation and database. To create a wordpress installation for testing run the following command:
bash bin/test_wp_install.sh wordpress_test db_username db_password localhost latest
Where 'wordpress_test' is the name for the database used to run the tests. Make sure this database doesn't exist or can be deleted. When the database already exists the script will ask you if the database can be deleted. 'Latest' can be changed if you want to test with a specific version of Wordpress, 3.6.2 for example.
After you installed you can start running tests using the follow command:
vendor/bin/behat
This will run all test. These tests include an import and export of all types of fields, cleaning, multiple fields in one field-group and tests for the menu options. If you want to run one specific test you can do this by running:
vendor/bin/behat features/testname.feature
If you need a different test you can create your own by added it to the features in the features folder.
