Modern Fields, Custom Fields for Gutenberg

Journal des modifications

1.4.1

Improved:

• Field categories in the inserter follow the order you build a field group in: Input, Selection, Media, Date, Advanced, then Design

Fixed:

• Map field: the address search followed the system colour scheme rather than the admin’s, so on a machine set to dark mode the search box and its list of suggestions came up dark and barely readable inside the light admin

1.4.0

New:

• New Link field: point anywhere — an external URL, or existing content found by searching, using the link picker WordPress uses everywhere else
• Link field: choose whether the field asks for a link text, and whether it offers « Open in new tab »
• New Post or Archive Link field: link to a post or to a post type archive, always chosen from a list rather than typed in
• Post or Archive Link field: restrict the list to the post types, publication statuses and terms of your choice
• Post or Archive Link field: the archive of each post type is offered alongside individual entries, and can be turned off; several destinations can be allowed
• Both link fields display through a Button block, and read in templates with modern_fields_get_link()
• New Embed field: paste a link and preview what it embeds, right under the field
• New User field: pick one or several users, with their avatar in the search results
• User field: restrict the search to the roles of your choice, custom roles included
• New Post Reference field: point to a single post, page or custom post type through a searchable dropdown
• Post Reference field: restrict the search to the post types and the publication statuses of your choice
• Post Reference field: the new Bidirectional option records the reverse relation, so a post can be asked which posts point at it, read with modern_fields_get_linked_posts()
• New Taxonomy field: pick terms with the very interface WordPress uses — a checkbox tree for hierarchical taxonomies, a token field for flat ones
• Taxonomy field: choose the taxonomy to display, and allow missing terms to be created straight from the field
• New File field: import a file or pick one from the media library
• File field: restrict the media library to a category (images, documents, audio, video, archives) or to specific formats
• File field: set a maximum weight, capped by the server limit and shown next to the field
• New Map field: search for an address, click the map or drag the pin, and the coordinates, the address and its city, postcode and country are all stored
• Map field: the stored value uses the very same keys as ACF’s Google Map field, so a template moved over keeps working untouched
• Map field: set the default centre, the zoom, the height, the map type, a light or dark theme, and the colour of the pin
• Map field: the Google Maps API key is read from a wp-config constant or from the modern-fields/maps/api_key filter, never stored in the database
• Map field: without a key, the field still takes coordinates by hand and tells you which line to add where
• Map field: limit the address search to the countries of your choice, or turn the search off entirely
• Read a location in templates with get_field(), and link to it with the new modern_fields_get_map_url()
• New Icon field: pick an icon from the WordPress icon library, or upload one from the media library
• Icon field: the whole Dashicons set is published to the WordPress icon registry, so those icons render through the native Icon block, answer wp_get_icon() and appear in every picker that reads the registry
• Icon field: a plugin registering an icon collection of its own shows up in the picker with nothing to configure
• Icon field: the media library tab can be turned off, leaving only registered icons — the ones the native Icon block can display
• New Gallery field: pick several images at once from the media library, reorder them by dragging the thumbnails, and drop one with the cross that appears over it
• Gallery field: set a minimum and a maximum number of images, and the aspect ratio the thumbnails are cropped to
• Gallery field: the value is the ordered list of attachment IDs, read in templates with get_field()
• Field add-ons have one public entry point: window.modernFields.fields.registerFieldType, with window.modernFields.apiVersion beside it. A third-party field type registers its block and its component in a single call, and inherits the label, description, Required badge and settings panels of the native fields

Improved:

• Theme JSON sync: reading the field group status no longer scans the post type, taxonomy and block files along the way
• Theme JSON sync: a status that fails to load now says so instead of showing an empty column
• Every field’s settings moved to the block editor’s own settings panels: an option shows at a glance whether it has been changed, resets on its own, and the whole section resets at once
• Editor styles are collected once per stylesheet instead of once per field, so a group of a dozen fields no longer repeats the same CSS a dozen times in the metabox
• Click targets across the plugin are reachable from a keyboard, and what screen readers announce was named properly — the media field’s image preview, the checkbox lists, the rich text editor’s frame

Fixed:

• Fields storing a structure (Border, Spacing) lost their value when saved from a form rather than the block editor
• Checkbox lists with a capped height squashed their rows instead of scrolling
• Selections were lost when a search narrowed a list of checkboxes
• Role and status pickers now scroll instead of stretching on sites with many roles
• The Link field came up unstyled outside the block editor — on an options page, a term or a user form — because the stylesheet it needs was looked up in the rendered group content, where the marker it looks for no longer exists

1.3.0

New:

• New Dashboard location: display a field group as a widget on the WordPress dashboard. Values are saved as site options (administrators only)
• Field values are no longer publicly exposed in the REST API. Enable the new ‘Expose through API’ option per field to opt in
• Image field: choose the display ratio

Fixed:

• Filters and trash has been fixed in list views (Field groups, CPT, Taxonomies and blocks)
• Fixed a fatal error when editing a post whose author no longer exists or was never set (e.g. content created through WP-CLI or the API)
• Fixed a blank options page / dashboard widget when the group contains a checkboxes field that was never saved
• The field groups list now shows « No author » instead of an empty cell for groups without an author

1.2.0

New:
* Field groups are now available in WooCommerce products & post types with classic editor
* New filters to change the value returned by getField(): modern-fields/get_field/valueand modern-fields/get_field/name=field-name

Fixed:

1.1.0

New:
* The whole Modern Fields admin is now a single-page app: switching between Field Groups, Post Types, Taxonomies, Blocks, Import/Export and Settings no longer reloads the page.
* Trash support: move field groups, post types and taxonomies to the trash, restore them, or delete them permanently, with an Active/Trash filter in each list.

Improved:
* Validation notices now appear at the bottom-center of the screen, matching WordPress 7.0.
* Cleaner empty states in the admin lists (column headers are hidden when a list has no items).
* Main menu without icons on small screens (< 1024px) for a tidier layout.

Fixed:
* Fixed regression with field name not being slugified, causing some fields to not be displayed.
* Fixed issues with groups locations not correctly displayed
* Fixed inconsistencies with the Modern Fields admin menu.
* Fixed scroll issues in the Post Types, Taxonomies and Blocks pages.
* Fixed an error shown on a field group with no fields yet.
* Fixed links to Post Types, Taxonomies, Blocks and field groups after the single-page rework.
* Fixed a crash in the location picker when a post or page has no title.
* Fixed saving Settings when a palette color was added without picking a color.
