ACF

This plugin creates a new field for Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) extending the functionality of the built-in Google Map field with several handy features: Saves map center. You can center your maps wherever you want and indicate that you want to save that place as map center. This can be handy, if you want your front-end map to show some specific place in the center of the map (not necessary the location marker). Saves zoom level. Disables (optionally) map zooming with a scrollwheel. Sometimes you can get annoyed with your maps starting to zoom, when you scroll the post in the admin area. This feature comes handy here. Shows location coordinates. It is easy to get any place’s location coordinates (latitude and longitude) with this plugin by setting a marker to the place you need using user friendly map interface. Compatible with the data format of the Google Map field coming with ACF. See F.A.Q. for details. Saves all maps shown at a page in the global array. This is a bonus for programmers. See F.A.Q. for details. The plugin makes use of the Google Maps API version 3. The plugin doesn’t use an API key and is therefore operating under the restrictions of the free Google Maps API, which should be more than enough for most websites. Compatibility This ACF field type is compatible with: ACF 4 ACF 5 (PRO version) Google Map field coming with ACF 4/5. See F.A.Q. Translations The plugin is translated to: French German Netherlands Russian Ukrainian There is a POT file under the lang directory holding all translation strings, so it should be pretty easy to translate to other languages.

Pilo'Press

Pilo’Press is a framework plugin for WordPress. Based on ACF and ACF Extended, it allows you to create layouts among other things and use the Flexible Content field as a page builder. Pilo’Press uses Tailwind CSS for style templating which can be setup and build directly from the back-office. Please note that Tailwind CSS is not mandatory, you can choose to use it or not. Requirements This plugin requires Advanced Custom Fields PRO and Advanced Custom Fields: Extended plugins in order to work correctly. Getting started Activate Advanced Custom Fields Pro plugin Activate ACF Extended plugin Activate Pilo’Press plugin In your theme, create a pilopress folder Within the pilopress folder, create layouts subfolder Within the pilopress folder, create assets subfolder In the index.php file, add the following code: Styles, when you click on “Update & Compile”, TailwindCSS will be compiled remotely using TailwindAPI. Minified CSS files are then created under /pilopress/assets/styles.min.css and /pilopress/assets/styles-admin.min.css. You can manually enqueue those files in your theme for the front-end & the back-end, but we recommend to use automatic enqueue code above. It is possible to manually retrieve the Tailwind PostCSS & JS fields of the administration if you want to build TailwindCSS locally. To do so, you can use the following code: $tailwind_css = get_field( 'pip_tailwind_style', 'pip_styles_tailwind' ); $tailwind_config = get_field( 'pip_tailwind_config', 'pip_styles_tailwind' ); For more details, see Tailwind CSS Documentation. Customizing style To customize default Tailwind CSS styles, go to Pilo'Press > Styles from left navigation menu or top bar menu. For more details about customization, see Github Page. Add new layout In the admin menu Pilo'Press > Layouts, add a new layout Configure the layouts fields Create PHP, CSS and JS files in your theme layout folder /your-theme/pilopress/layouts/your-layout You have to name those files the same way you did in back-office settings Note: only PHP template file is require. Templating To display the content of your post, you have to use the following function: // Pilo'Press content (doesn't need 'echo') the_pip_content(); // Pilo'Press content (needs 'echo') echo get_pip_content(); Components See GitHub Page for complete example. Hooks Available hooks are list and describe in GitHub Page
