A simple, clean and lean acf Field that allows the user to select an internal link as a post_object or an external link as a url field via a smooth toggle.
It always returns the url as the same field, wheter its the internal or external link. With button.target you can additionaly add target="_blank" in your template without additional casing.
Example (twig style):
{% if button %}
<a href="{{ button.url }}" {{button.target }}>{{ button.text }}</a>
{% endif %}
Isn't that lean =)?
Example (vanilla PHP):
if ( get_field( 'acf_button_field' ) ) :
$button = get_field( 'acf_button_field' );
$button_label = $button['text'];
$button_url = $button['url'];
$button_target = $button['target'];
endif;
[text] => I am an internal Buttonse
[url] => http://yoursite.dev/selected-page
[target] => ''
[text] => I am an external Buttonse
[url] => http://kollektiv.ag
[target] => 'target="blank"'
Note: In both cases the field data will only be returned if the button text is set in combination with a target. If either one is missing, there will be no return.

This add-on works only with version 5 and up.
This add-on can be treated as both a WP plugin and a theme include.
Install as Plugin
- Copy the 'acf-button' folder into your plugins folder
- Activate the plugin via the Plugins admin page
Include within theme
- Copy the 'acf-smart-button' folder into your theme folder (can use sub folders). You can place the folder anywhere inside the 'wp-content' directory
- Edit your functions.php file and add the code below (Make sure the path is correct to include the acf-button.php file)
include_once('acf-smart-button/acf-smart-button.php');Partially inspired by https://github.com/envex/acf-button-field, but is missing acf5 support and didn't meet my requirements fully.
