Each integration starts only when that plugin is active. #### Fast by design * Values are stored in CAFE’s own typed tables, not in wp_postmeta. * All values of a post, term or user load with one query and are cached. * Repeating content and galleries are stored as rows, never as serialized arrays. #### Everything you need to build content * A visual field builder with drag and drop, tabs, field widths and location rules. * Text, choice, date, media, reference and layout fields, including repeating Collections and flexible Section Builders. * Fields for posts, pages, custom post types, terms, users and Settings Pages. * Front-end forms built from your field groups. * Import and export of field groups. * Appearance settings to match your brand: colors, corners, spacing and tab styles. #### Elementor support * CAFE Dynamic Tags for Text, URL, Image, Gallery, Number and Color controls of any widget, with the fields grouped by field group. * Works on the page being viewed, in the Elementor editor, in loops and with Settings Page fields. * A “CAFE Form” widget to place any CAFE form on an Elementor page. #### Gravity Forms support * A “Save to CAFE” feed saves answers into CAFE fields of a new post, the post Gravity Forms creates or the logged-in user. Uploaded files go into the media library. * Drop Down, Multi Select, Radio Buttons and Checkboxes can take their choices from a CAFE choice field or a Collection. * `{cafe:field_name}` merge tags show CAFE values in confirmations, notifications, HTML fields and default values. #### WPML support * A translation setting per field: Translate, Copy, Copy once or Do not translate. * Field group titles, labels and instructions are registered with WPML String Translation, or translated per language in the builder. * Field names never change, so `cafe_get_field()` works in every language. Translated images and attachments are followed. #### Works with your site * Translation ready. * A Compatibility card in CAFE Settings shows the status and version of WPML, Elementor and Gravity Forms. * Uninstalling keeps your data unless you choose to delete it. #### What’s inside * **Field builder** (CAFE Field Groups): field groups with drag and drop, tabs, widths and location rules for posts, pages, custom post types, terms, users and Settings Pages. * **37 field types**: - Basic: Text, Textarea, Rich Text, Email, URL, Link, Password, Color. - Numeric: Number, Range. - Choice: Select, Radio, Button Group, Checkbox, Toggle. - Date and time: Date, Time, Date Time. - Media: Image, Gallery, File, Video, oEmbed. - Relationship: Post Object, Relationship, Page Link, Taxonomy, User. - Layout: Tab, Collapsible, Fieldset, Collection, Section Builder, Section, Message, Clone. - Advanced: Google Map. * **Settings Pages**: site-wide options pages with their own field groups. * **Forms** (CAFE Forms): front-end forms built from your field groups, with checks and saving included. * **Tools** (CAFE Tools): import and export of field groups. * **Migration** (CAFE Migration): a guided move from Advanced Custom Fields, with checks before and after. * **PHP API**: `cafe_get_field()` and related functions, plus a `cafe/v1` REST API used by the admin screens. * **Storage**: six custom tables with typed columns, versioned migrations and full multisite support. * **Integrations**: Elementor, Gravity Forms and WPML, described above. ### External services CAFE connects to outside services only for the features below, and only when they are used. #### Feedback to CyboWeb Technologies (optional) Five days after installation, CAFE shows administrators a small notice on CAFE’s own admin pages (never on the Dashboard or other screens) asking for a rating; it can be dismissed or postponed. When you deactivate CAFE from its own Deactivate link, an optional form asks for the reason; you can skip it. Nothing is sent unless you fill in one of these forms and press Send. What is sent to www.cybowebtechnologies.com: the rating or deactivation reason, an optional category, your optional comment, your email address only if you enter it, whether you agreed to receive product news (a separate, unchecked box), the CAFE version and a random one-time form ID that prevents duplicates. Your site address, user names, the site’s admin email address and other plugins are never sent. Showing, postponing or dismissing the notice is not reported. Comments and email addresses are kept for at most 24 months and deleted on request. Feedback is provided to CyboWeb Technologies: [Privacy Policy](https://www.cybowebtechnologies.com/privacy-policy). #### Google Maps Google Map fields can show a map to pick a place. This only happens after an administrator enters a Google Maps API key in CAFE Settings. While an editor uses a Google Map field, the browser loads the Google Maps JavaScript API from maps.googleapis.com and sends it the API key, the place searched for and the map position. Without a key, editors type the address and coordinates and nothing is sent. Google Maps is provided by Google: [Terms of Service](https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms), [Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy). #### oEmbed (video and embed fields) Video and oEmbed fields use the oEmbed support built into WordPress. When an editor saves a URL (for example a YouTube or Vimeo link), WordPress asks that provider for the embed code and sends it the URL. The provider is the site the URL points to, under that site’s own terms and privacy policy, for example YouTube: [Terms of Service](https://www.youtube.com/t/terms), [Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy). ### Source code The scripts and styles in `assets/build` are compiled with @wordpress/scripts from the readable sources in `assets/src`, which are included in the plugin. ## Screenshots [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ ## Installation 1.

At [www.cybowebtechnologies.com/cafe](https://www.cybowebtechnologies.com/cafe/). ### Does CAFE work with Elementor, Gravity Forms and WPML? Yes. Each integration starts on its own when that plugin is active and does nothing when it is not. CAFE Settings Compatibility shows which versions are supported. ### Does CAFE use wp_postmeta? No. CAFE stores values in its own tables with typed columns and indexes. ### Is my data deleted when I delete the plugin? No, not by default. Turn on “Delete data on uninstall” in CAFE Settings first if deleting the plugin should remove CAFE’s tables and options. ### Do I need Node.js on my server? No. The plugin contains compiled scripts and styles. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Cybo Advanced Field Engine” is open source software.

The “Add a Field Group for this page” link of a Settings Page now carries a nonce too. #### 1.0.1 * The rating notice only shows on CAFE’s own pages, and CAFE no longer hides other plugins’ notices on its pages (opt in with the cafe_hide_admin_notices filter). * The ACF code step lists the changes to make but no longer edits theme or plugin files. * CAFE no longer deactivates Advanced Field Core itself; it asks you to. * Edit screen and Gravity Forms editor styles and scripts are enqueued. * Submitted field values are sanitized for their field type as soon as they are read. * All rendered forms and admin markup are escaped with wp_kses() where they are printed (new cafe_allowed_html filter for custom field types). #### 1.0.0 * First stable release. * More database queries are prepared where they run, and the ACF import query now escapes its table and column names too. Stored data and behavior are unchanged. #### 0.16.0 * First release on WordPress.org. * Optional rating and deactivation feedback for CyboWeb Technologies (only sent when you press Send). ## Meta * Version **1.0.2** * Last updated **3 days ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.5 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1.4** * PHP version ** 8.1 or higher ** * Tags * [custom fields](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/custom-fields/)[fields](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/fields/) [meta box](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/meta-box/)[options page](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/options-page/) [repeater](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/repeater/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cybo-advanced-field-engine/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
