If I understood the question correctly, what you want can be achieved by storing serialised array of post_id and ACF value as key value pair. So for each user, there will be user_meta which will contain post_ids and collectible_status.
WordPress by default has custom fields aka “post meta” but apart from the UI you’ve already mentioned (“the postauthor has to declare the keys himself while creating a post”) there is no UI functionality offered from core. You’ll need a plugin for this. Here is a nice comparison of custom fields plugins (Source: https://comparewp.org/)

So, for each item in $forms, you want to … Read more
Custom Field as Custom Post type element class
Custom rewrite tags have to be added before they can be used in permalinks, otherwise WP will not be able to parse those rules. function your_init_function(){ add_rewrite_tag( ‘%category_type%’, ‘([^&]+)’ ); // register your post type…. }
The problem is with the rewrite rules generated with the post type- they’re a bit greedy and are capturing those requests. WordPress is trying to query for a matching category_type, which isn’t actually an object type, and in the absence of any other valid query argument, it runs the main blog query. You could manually … Read more
I’m a total dummy. Looked through the field file and found this: function input_admin_enqueue_scripts() { // Note: This function can be removed if not used // register acf scripts wp_register_script(‘acf-input-column’, $this->settings[‘dir’] . ‘js/input.js’, array(‘acf-input’), $this->settings[‘version’]); wp_register_style(‘acf-input-column’, $this->settings[‘dir’] . ‘css/input.css’, array(‘acf-input’), $this->settings[‘version’]); // scripts wp_enqueue_script(array( ‘acf-input-column’, )); // styles wp_enqueue_style(array( ‘acf-input-column’, )); } $settings->[‘dir’] was set … Read more
