Please add import feature from versions 2.x

for now i made a small script, displaying the old settings while having the new version activated, so conversion runs much faster now.

for the functions.php:

<php

function old_jcf_settings(){
  $post_types = get_post_types();
  $jcf_fieldsets = 'jcf_fieldsets-';
  $jcf_fields = 'jcf_fields-';
  $jcf_settings = [];
  
  foreach ( $post_types as $post_type ) {
    $post_fieldsets = get_option($jcf_fieldsets . $post_type);
    $post_fields = get_option($jcf_fields . $post_type);
    
    if ( $post_fieldsets || $post_fields ) {
      $jcf_settings[$post_type] = [];
    
      if ( $post_fieldsets ) {
        $jcf_settings[$post_type]['fieldsets'] = $post_fieldsets;
      }    
      if ( $post_fields ) {
        $jcf_settings[$post_type]['fields'] = $post_fields;   
      }
    }
  }
  echo '<!-- old_jcf_settings: ', var_dump($jcf_settings), ' -->';     
}

?>

and then call it in any template file (example for page.php).

<?php
  if ( is_page('test_custom_fields') ) {
    old_jcf_settings();
  }

?>

its only displaying in the output source code, so the normal view isn’t disturbed while viewing. converting the output to json seems not so much effort, i just actually don’t know the structure of an import/export json file.

that sounds good, also the migration of the upload media field.

in while im done with the json output which seems to should import on the new versions (tested on a simple page)

function old_jcf_settings($output_json = true){
  $post_types = get_post_types();
  $post_types_objects = get_post_types(null, null, 'objects');
  $jcf_fieldsets = 'jcf_fieldsets-';
  $jcf_fields = 'jcf_fields-';
  $jcf_settings = [];
  $new_jcf_settings = [];
  
  foreach ( $post_types as $post_type ) {
    $post_fieldsets = get_option($jcf_fieldsets . $post_type);
    $post_fields = get_option($jcf_fields . $post_type);
    
    if ( $post_fieldsets || $post_fields ) {
      $jcf_settings[$post_type] = [];
      if ( $post_fieldsets ) {
        $jcf_settings[$post_type]['fieldsets'] = $post_fieldsets;
        $new_jcf_settings['fieldsets'][$post_type] = array_merge(
          array('position' => null,'priority' => null),
          $post_fieldsets
        );
        foreach ( $post_fieldsets as $post_fieldset_id => $post_fieldset ) {
          $post_fieldset_fields = $post_fieldset['fields'];
          foreach ( $post_fieldset_fields as $post_fieldset_field => $enabled ) {
            $jcf_settings[$post_type]['fieldsets'][$post_fieldset_id]['fields'][$post_fieldset_field] = array_merge(
              $post_fields[$post_fieldset_field],
              array('enabled' => $enabled)
            );
          }
        }
      }
      if ( $post_fields ) {
        $new_jcf_settings['fields'] = [];
        $new_jcf_settings['fields'][$post_type] = $post_fields;
      }
      $new_jcf_settings['post_types'][$post_type] = $post_types_objects[$post_type];
    }
  }
  if ( $output_json ) {
    echo '<!-- old_jcf_settings: ', "\r\n";
    echo json_encode($jcf_settings), "\r\n";
    echo ' -->', "\r\n";
    
    echo '<!-- new_jcf_settings: ', "\r\n";
    echo json_encode($new_jcf_settings), "\r\n";
    echo ' -->', "\r\n";
  } else {
    echo '<!-- old_jcf_settings: ', "\r\n";
    echo var_dump($jcf_settings), "\r\n";
    echo ' -->', "\r\n";
    
    echo '<!-- new_jcf_settings: ', "\r\n";
    echo var_dump($new_jcf_settings), "\r\n";
    echo ' -->';
  }
}

just copy the “new_jcf_settings” output line in a json file and import.

it also worked on pages where i previouly used my script to get the migration faster.

tested with fields: datepicker, textarea, inputtext and checkbox.
