Thread: More Custom Field Types Needed

More Custom Field Types Needed

ClassiPress only has three basic custom field types - textbox, dropdown and textarea.

Would be nice to see a date field and a hidden field so we can add additional meta that shouldn't be seen on the listing form.

ClassiPress has the potential to be infinitely extendible, but is particularly limited in terms of hooks and filters.

For example, CP only allows custom fields with the "cp_" prefix to be saved. Why not open the floodgates so you could potentially use ClassiPress' form layouts and custom fields with other WP plugins like an existing event calendar for example? (which is what I'm attempting at the moment).

I don't want to be hacking the core, but at this time it looks like I'll have to for a client's needs.

Re: More Custom Field Types Needed

This has been discussed before. Here's one of the links that you can refer to http://appthemes.com/forum/showthrea...d-Descriptions

That link is dead.. is this feature being added?

Bump for a response.

Bump too...would like to see multiple choice options as well.

Thanks!

I am modding just to create Multiple checkbox fields and I am sure I can adapt it for 3.0.3.

I don't see the things you are asking for being included in the near future for ClassiPress.

What I am doing I describe in the forum in Customizations and somewhere else. Hidden fields at the moment requires some hard-coding but it would be great, as you say, to have more Form options.

It would be nice to have calendar as well.

Also a text-only or no-input field: for adding messages to guide users on how to use custom forms.

Have updated the link in the post above, but will lock this thread as there are already existing threads on the topic of custom fields (including checkboxes) which are under consideration.
