    Hello how are you?
    First I would like to thank you for this wonderful plugin \ 0 /.

    Below are some ideas to improve the experience with acf pro and this plugin.


    Expand and Collapse SubItems in page / post edit

    In the flexible content in the admin part, it would be interesting to be able to insert a button to collapse all the items or and I inserted an option to configure the fields so that they will already be collapsed by default. There is a plugin that does this, but it gives a bug when installing with your plugin.

    Colapse all Layouts in acf edit

    When we create flexible content in the acf part, all layouts are expanded by default, it would be interesting to insert a button to collapse the same ones or those that have already collapsed by default. There is a plugin that does this:
    link: https://wordpress.org/plugins/acf-admin-flexible-content-collapse/

    Hide and show the configuration fields inserted by the plugin
    When we are editing a flexible content field, several configuration buttons are inserted that precede the layout fields, most of these buttons, if not all, are configured only once (when the flexible content field is created), and create a giant scroll on the page and it becomes exhausting to keep scrolling every time you create or edit a layout, if not possible, at least pass that part of settings after the layout fields that already help.

    Tabs
    When we create a tab field and it is opened in modal, the field does not work correctly.

    And thanks again for this wonderful plugin \ 0 /

    Att,
    Weliton Martins

    Hello,

    Thanks for the feedback. Well you basically ask me to integrate the Admin Flexible Content Collapse plugin. The plugin wasn’t updated since 2 years, and looking at the code I’m not really surprised that it doesn’t work properly (not a judgement, just personal standpoint).

    Hide/show configuration fields: It would be overkill to add a feature/button to hide or show some settings. It could quickly become misleading, and users would keep asking why they can’t see settings.

    Tabs: Can you please elaborate? Provide screenshot or example? Tabs are working correctly in modals on my end.

    Regards.

    Hey,

    so, in case i didn’t ask to integrate the mentioned plugins, they were just to exemplify the functionality.

    About the tabs
    It turned out that there was a problem here with the files, sorry.

    About hiding the configuration fields in the flexible content field

    It would be possible to insert a class or attribute that identifies which <tr> belongs to acf pro extend, which could be done here manually.

    There is a button that hides your plugin’s configuration buttons, but it disables everything, and the label says “Show advanced Flexible Content settings” should be “Disable advanced Flexible Content settings”,

    It would be this function without the disable part

    Thank You!

    Hello,

    Yeah I understood what features you want. Right now I’m overwhelmed by all the features requests, so I’ll add it to the list, but I cannot guarantee any ETA. Added to the Trello Board: https://trello.com/b/QEgpU7CL/acf-extended

    Regarding the “Advanced Flexible Content Settings” switch, it uses the native ACF conditional logic feature. I don’t want to mess with custom & specific mechanics when it already works as expected: enable/disable advanced settings.

    Also, it’s disabled by default, so users don’t get overwhelmed with settings when they just want to setup a simple flexible content field.

    Note: If you’ve setup dozens of layouts into one single flexible content, you should probably consider using one clone field inside each layout, which would clone an entire field group (which would be the actual layout with fields). This way layouts are decentralized, so they will be easier to manage and also give you some performance boost in the admin.

    Regards.

    Hello,
    again thank you for your attention! \ 0 /

    They are only ideas for improvements, when you can and if you can do it will help <3.

    About hiding the settings fields
    I did it manually here, if I add a class in the element below:

    <tr class = “acf-field acf-field-extend acf-field-extend-setting”>

    Already helps to identify the fields that are included by the plugin.

    Note about your note

    Yes \ 0 /, I already use clone fields in layouts to facilitate maintenance (it helps a lot).

    Finally, it is a wonderful plugin, I am excited about the extra possibilities it offers \ 0 /, and I am trying to explore each one.

    Thank you again!

    Hello,

    Yes I understood what you try to achieve, but that’s a very specific logic you’re asking, other users won’t understand it. Those settings are already shown/hidden based on the native ACF conditional logic. Adding an extra layer of conditional logic on top of it will get users confused.

    Regards.
