I want to create checkboxes with Advanced Custom Fields in an admin panel in the Wordpress backend that can enable and disable scripts.
I created a checkbox field, called it import_animejs
and checked it. Then used acf/load_field to enqueue the script but I am missing something as it's not working.
Here is my code:
function acf_checkbox_scripts() {
wp_register_script('animejs', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/bower_components/animejs/lib/anime.min.js', array('jquery'),'1.1', true);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'acf_checkbox_scripts', 5 );
function load_field_import_animejs( $field ) {
wp_enqueue_script('animejs');
return $field;
}
add_filter('acf/load_field/name=import_animejs', 'load_field_import_animejs');
I expect the filter to recognise that import_animejs is ticked and enqueue anime.js but it doesn't.
Update: many thanks to Lachlan's answer this works, and just for clarification I completely removed the acf/load_field "load_field_import_animejs" function in the code I posted above.
