## Description

**Fieldom** gives agencies and developers a community-governed, feature-rich custom
fields plugin for WordPress.

Every feature is built and maintained in the open. No freemium gates, no SaaS backend,
no phone-home. Just a solid custom-fields plugin that runs entirely inside WordPress.

#### Key Features

 * **26 field types** — text, textarea, number, select, checkbox, radio, true/false,
   date picker, time picker, color picker, URL, email, password, file, image, gallery,
   post object, taxonomy, user, link, WYSIWYG, message, tab, accordion, **Repeater**,
   and **Flexible Content**.
 * **Native Repeater field** — supports drag-to-reorder rows, configurable sub-fields,
   and min/max row limits.
 * **Flexible Content field** — multiple layouts each with their own sub-fields,
   drag-to-reorder blocks.
 * **Options Pages** — register custom admin pages and store global settings outside
   of post meta.
 * **JSON import / export** — export field groups as JSON and import them on any
   site. Field types, choices, location rules, Repeater sub-fields, and Flexible
   Content layouts are all mapped automatically.
 * **Standard postmeta storage** — values are stored in standard `wp_postmeta` using
   established key conventions, compatible with any plugin that reads WordPress 
   post meta.
 * **Template helpers** — `fieldforge_get()`, `fieldforge_the()`, `fieldforge_have_rows()`,`
   fieldforge_the_row()`, `fieldforge_sub_field()`, `fieldforge_the_sub_field()`,`
   fieldforge_update_field()`, `fieldforge_get_option()`, `fieldforge_update_option()`.
 * **Location rules** — show field groups by post type, post status, user role, 
   page parent, or page template. OR groups and AND rules.
 * **Conditional logic** — show or hide individual fields based on the values of
   other fields.
 * **REST API** — field values exposed via the WordPress REST API with location-
   rule filtering.
 * **Local JSON sync** — field groups saved as JSON files alongside your theme for
   version control.
 * **100% GPL, no SaaS** — runs entirely inside WordPress. No external services.

#### Basic Usage

 1. Go to **Fieldom  Add New** to create a field group.
 2. Click **+ Add Field**, choose a field type, give it a name and label.
 3. Set a location rule (e.g. “Post Type is equal to Post”).
 4. Publish the field group.
 5. Edit any matching post — your fields appear as a meta box.

In your theme templates:

    ```
    <?php echo esc_html( fieldforge_get( 'subtitle' ) ); ?>
    ```

Or simply:

    ```
    <?php fieldforge_the( 'subtitle' ); ?>
    ```

#### Repeater Usage

    ```
    <?php while ( fieldforge_have_rows( 'team_members' ) ) : fieldforge_the_row(); ?>
        <h3><?php fieldforge_the_sub_field( 'name' ); ?></h3>
        <p><?php fieldforge_the_sub_field( 'role' ); ?></p>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    ```

#### JSON Import

Go to **Fieldom  Import / Export**, paste your field group JSON, and click Import.
All supported field types and location rules are mapped automatically.

See `docs/json-import.md` in the plugin folder for the full import guide.

#### Roadmap

 * v0.2 — Gutenberg / block editor field meta boxes
 * v0.3 — Clone field
 * v0.4 — Improved conditional logic UI builder

## FAQ

### What field types and features are included?

Fieldom includes 26 field types (text, textarea, number, email, URL, password, select,
checkbox, radio, true/false, date picker, time picker, color picker, image, file,
gallery, post object, taxonomy, user, link, WYSIWYG, message, tab, accordion, Repeater,
and Flexible Content), plus Options Pages, conditional logic, a REST API, a JSON
importer, and local JSON sync. The Clone field and Gutenberg block fields are on
the roadmap.

### Can I import existing field group configurations?

Yes — go to **Fieldom  Import / Export** and paste a field group JSON export. Fieldom
maps all supported field types, choices, location rules, sub-fields, and Flexible
Content layouts automatically.

### Is it safe to use on a production site?

v0.1 is an early but stable release. The core save/load path is covered by a PHPUnit
test suite running on PHP 7.4 through 8.3. We recommend testing on a staging site
before deploying to production, and watching the [GitHub releases](https://github.com/arunrajiah/fieldforge/releases)
for patch updates.

### How do I display field values in my theme templates?

Use `fieldforge_get( 'field_name' )` to return a value, or `fieldforge_the( 'field_name')`
to echo it safely escaped. For Repeater fields, use the `fieldforge_have_rows()`/`
fieldforge_the_row()` / `fieldforge_sub_field()` loop helpers.

### Does Fieldom conflict with other custom field plugins?

Fieldom registers its own function names, CPT slugs, and meta keys and does not 
interfere with other custom field plugins. You can run multiple custom field plugins
simultaneously.
