ACF and Filebird

Hi @taavisaft ,

Thanks for using FileBird, could you please give us more explanation (recorded screencast) showing how you normally attach folders to posts?

Here you can download v3.9 again which worked for you before:

Thank you.

Hi, I made a google doc with screenshots, explaining my workflow before and after filebird 4.0 My Workflow (google docs)

Thanks @taavisaft for your explanation.
We don’t use taxonomies for FileBird 4 anymore, we are working on adding type field which supports ACF. Please wait for the update. It will come very soon.

Best regards,
Kelly

Thanks, ACF support would be awesome.

Best,
Taavi

Hi there,
Yes, we are working on that.

Kind regards,

Sorry to reopen this.
Wondering if this is implemented?

I see a Relational field in ACF for FireBird Folder, but unclear on how to use it.
When I add that field to a Custom Post Type I see the available folders as choices, however the images added (in image fields) and in editor are not automatically added to the folder selected in the Relational Field.
Or is the only way to add to a folder is select on the Media Upload Screen?

Any documentation on how to work with that field?

Hoping to utilize this when importing mass content, and categorize/organize the post images on import.

Thanks for any guidance.

Hi @jberg1 ,

Yes, the only way to add an image to a folder is select on the Media Upload Screen.

Can you make an example of “importing mass content”? A screenshot/ screencast is really appreciated.

Kelly

Thanks Kelly
Don’t really have a screenshot/screencast.
I use WPAllImport (www.wpallimport.com) to import Custom Post Types (CPT) from a CSV file and it works with mapping to ACF. I looked in there (after installing FileBird (FB)) and didn’t see anything to assign the image to a FB Folder as part of the import.

Thought it might possibly work with the ACF Relational field for FB on that CPT to assign all image fields to a folder automatically.

That’s ok, I can just drag them into the right folder.

Thanks for speedy reply.
And great plugin.

Hi @jberg1,

Now we got your idea, that can be done by making FileBird compatible with WPAllImport.
Could you send us WPAllImport plugin via our email [email protected]?

Thank you so much.

Kelly

Thanks Kelly,
I wanted to follow up on this. I’m afraid that is going to go against my license agreement for the paid plugin. I’m going to just continue with them manually choosing “folder” when they upload.

Thanks for your help.
