<h3>Dynamic Attribute Parsing</h3>

– <code>{func:function_name,arg1,arg2}</code> — calls a whitelisted PHP function 
– <code>{shortcode:(tag)}</code> — parses nested shortcode (use <code>()</code> instead of <code>[]</code>) 
– <code>{const:CONSTANT_NAME}</code> — replaces with PHP constant value
Example: 
 <code>[anys type="post_field" name="post_title" id="{get:post_id}" before="Title: "]</code>
<h3>Formatting Options</h3>
<ul>
<li><code>date</code> — Format timestamps using WordPress date format.</li>
<li><code>datetime</code> — Format timestamps using WordPress date and time format.</li>

Codeideal Open Fields lets you add custom fields to posts, pages, custom post types, taxonomies, and users. The admin interface is built with React and TypeScript — fast, responsive, and intuitive.
All features are free. No premium tier. No locked functionality.
<h4>Quick Start</h4>
<pre><code>get_field( 'my_field' ) — retrieve any field value.

the_field( 'my_field' ) — echo a field value directly.
</code></pre>
<h4>Template Examples</h4>
Simple field:
<pre><code><?php echo esc_html( get_field( 'subtitle' ) ); ?>
</code></pre>
Repeater loop:
<pre><code><?php while ( have_rows( 'team_members' ) ) : the_row(); ?>
 <h3><?php the_sub_field( 'name' ); ?></h3>
 <?php the_sub_field( 'role' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</code></pre>
User field (with prefix):
<pre><code><?php echo esc_html( get_field( 'company', 'user_' . $user_id ) ); ?>
</code></pre>
Full API reference and guides: <a href="https://openfields.codeideal.com/docs" rel="nofollow ugc">openfields.codeideal.com/docs</a>
<h4>ACF-Compatible API</h4>
If you know ACF, you already know Open Fields. The template API uses the same function names:
<ul>
<li><code>get_field()</code> / <code>the_field()</code></li>
<li><code>get_fields()</code> / <code>update_field()</code> / <code>delete_field()</code></li>
<li><code>have_rows()</code> / <code>the_row()</code> / <code>get_sub_field()</code> / <code>the_sub_field()</code></li>
<li><code>get_row()</code> / <code>get_rows()</code> / <code>reset_rows()</code> / <code>get_row_index()</code></li>
<li><code>get_field_object()</code> / <code>get_sub_field_object()</code></li>
</ul>
When ACF is also active, these wrappers are not loaded — no conflicts. Both plugins store data as standard WordPress meta, so they can coexist.
Every function also has a prefixed version (e.g. <code>cofld_get_field()</code>) that is always available regardless of other plugins.
<h4>Field Types</h4>
<ul>
<li>Basic: Text, Textarea, Number, Email, URL, Password</li>
<li>Choice: Select, Checkbox, Radio, Switch</li>
<li>Date & Time: Date, Time, DateTime, Color Picker</li>
<li>Media: Image, File, Gallery</li>
<li>Content: WYSIWYG Editor, Link</li>
<li>Relational: Post Object, Taxonomy, User</li>
<li>Layout: Repeater, Group</li>
</ul>
<h4>Location Rules</h4>
Assign field groups to:
<ul>
<li>Post types (including custom post types)</li>
<li>Page templates</li>
<li>Post status / format / category</li>
<li>Taxonomy terms</li>
<li>User roles</li>
</ul>
<h4>Source Code</h4>
The admin JS and CSS are compiled from TypeScript/React source. All other files are uncompressed.
<ul>
<li>Source repo: <a href="https://github.com/novincode/openfields" rel="nofollow ugc">github.com/novincode/openfields</a></li>
<li>Admin source: <a href="https://github.com/novincode/openfields/tree/main/admin/src" rel="nofollow ugc">admin/src/</a></li>
<li>Build: <code>pnpm install && pnpm build</code> (Vite + TypeScript)</li>
</ul>
