Include Advanced Custom Fields in Sage 9

I managed to include ACF PRO in Sage 9. Here’s how:

Note: If you need only the ACF free version just add the dependency from wpackagist like it’s described here

I used the ACF pro installer by Philipp Baschke so I added the repository to my composer.json like so:

  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "package",
      "package": {
        "name": "advanced-custom-fields/advanced-custom-fields-pro",
        "version": "5.6.4",
        "type": "library",
        "dist": {
          "type": "zip",
          "url": "https://connect.advancedcustomfields.com/index.php?p=pro&a=download"
        },
        "require": {
          "philippbaschke/acf-pro-installer": "^1.0",
          "composer/installers": "^1.0"
        }
      }
    }
  ],

and then required ACF:

"advanced-custom-fields/advanced-custom-fields-pro": "*"

then I added the following filters to my filters.php file and included the path to the ACF main file:

/**
 * Customize ACF path
 */
add_filter('acf/settings/path', function ( $path ) {

    $path = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/../vendor/advanced-custom-fields/advanced-custom-fields-pro/';

    return $path;

});

/**
 * Customize ACF dir
 */
add_filter('acf/settings/dir', function ( $dir ) {

    $dir = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/../vendor/advanced-custom-fields/advanced-custom-fields-pro/';

    return $dir;

});

/**
 * Hide ACF field group menu item
 */
// add_filter('acf/settings/show_admin', '__return_false');

/**
 * include ACF
 */
include_once( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/../vendor/advanced-custom-fields/advanced-custom-fields-pro/acf.php' );

to submit your ACF Pro key just create an .env file in your theme directory and put it there:

ACF_PRO_KEY=PASTE_YOUR_ACF_PRO_KEY_HERE

now run composer update and you are good to go.

I also recommend creating a folder named acf-json in your resources folder. The plugin will then automatically detect it and save your field groups in json format. Find it in the ACF documentation
