Easy way to use ACF to drive EasySlider?

Hey Jason,

Thank you for the inquiry.

You may need to create another shortcode based on the Easy Slider element. Please try this in the functions.php file:

function av_acf_slideshow_shortcode($atts) {
    $atts = shortcode_atts(array(
        'field' => 'av_acf_slideshow_ids',
    ), $atts, 'av_acf_slideshow');

    $slide_ids = get_field($atts['field']);
    $slide_ids_array = $slide_ids ? explode(',', $slide_ids) : [];

    if (empty($slide_ids_array)) {
        return 'No slides available.';
    }

    $slideshow = '[av_slideshow img_copyright="" size="featured" control_layout="av-control-default" slider_navigation="av-navigate-arrows av-navigate-dots" nav_visibility_desktop="" nav_arrow_color="" nav_arrow_bg_color="" nav_dots_color="" nav_dot_active_color="" img_copyright_font="" av-desktop-font-img_copyright_font="" av-medium-font-img_copyright_font="" av-small-font-img_copyright_font="" av-mini-font-img_copyright_font="" img_copyright_color="" img_copyright_bg="" animation="slide" transition_speed="" autoplay="false" interval="5" img_scale="" img_scale_end="10" img_scale_direction="" img_scale_duration="3" img_scale_opacity="1" conditional_play="" img_scrset="" lazy_loading="disabled" alb_description="" id="" custom_class="" template_class="" element_template="" one_element_template="" av_uid="av-m2ctangq" sc_version="1.0"]';

    foreach ($slide_ids_array as $slide_id) {
        $slideshow .= '[av_slide id="' . esc_attr(trim($slide_id)) . '" element_template="" title="" video=""][/av_slide]';
    }

    $slideshow .= '[/av_slideshow]';

    return do_shortcode($slideshow);
}

add_shortcode('av_acf_slideshow', 'av_acf_slideshow_shortcode');

Create a repeater field with the ID av_acf_slideshow_ids, then add the IDs of the images that you’d like to display in the slideshow. You can use the shortcode [av_acf_slideshow] in a Code or Text Block element, and optionally specify a different ACF field by using [av_acf_slideshow field=”your_custom_field_name”].

Best regards,
