## تفصیل

#### Validated Field Add-On

The **Validated Field** add-on for [Advanced Custom Fields](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/)

provides a wrapper for other input types which allows you to provide client side
input masking using the jQuery [Masked Input Plugin](http://digitalbush.com/projects/masked-input-plugin/),
server side validation using either PHP regular expressions or PHP code, the option
of ensuring a field’s uniqueness for all posts by `post_type` and `meta_key`, `post_type`,
or site wide, or a single post by meta_key, as well as marking a field as read-only.
Edit your fields in the ACF Field Group editor and update code using the ACE.js 
IDE with autocomplete and syntax validation.

#### Features

 1. **Input Masking** – easily set masks on text inputs to ensure data is properly 
    formatted.
 2. **Server-Side Validation** – validate the inputs using server side PHP code or 
    regular expressions.
 3. **Uniqueness** – ensure that the value being updated is not already in use.
 4. **Repeater Fields** – validated fields within a [Repeater Field](http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/add-ons/repeater-field/).
 5. **Read Only** – specify a field as read-only allowing it to be displayed but not
    updated.
 6. **WordPress Multi Language** – compatible with multilingual sites using the WPML
    plugin.
 7. **Conditional Logic** – show and hide validated fields based on the values of other"
    switch” fields.

#### Compatibility

Requires [Advanced Custom Fields](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/)
version 4.0 or greater.

## عمومی سوالات

  I’ve activated the Validated Field plugin, but nothing happens

Ensure that you have [Advanced Custom Fields](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/)
installed and that it is activated.
 Validated Field will appear as a new input 
type in the field group editor.

  Configuration Options

Global configurations for the Validated Field plugin can be found in the WordPress
Admin under `Custom Fields > Validated Field Settings`.

 [quandt](https://profiles.wordpress.org/quandt/) دسمبر 17, 2025

Nope, crashes things. Be neat to update it. A simple regex on ACF (client side) 
fields would cover the 99% use case I can think of. Don’t see the point of upgrading
to a pro version of ACF plus some other ‘free’ just for regex (after all regex has
been around since the 60’s)

## چینج لاگ

#### 1.7.7

 * ACF4
    - Update `json_encode()` to support PHP 5.2.

#### 1.7.6

 * ACF4
    - Update for jQuery mask compatibility with ACF version 4.4.2+.
    - Improved support for use of single and double quotes within the validation
      pattern.
    - Use the same `eval()` implementation as ACF5 handler.
    - Derive add-on file basename for error handling.
 * ACF5
    - Update for jQuery mask compatibility with ACF version 5.2.7+.
    - Derive add-on file basename for error handling.
 * Additional jQuery Masked Input options:
    - `Autoclear`: `Yes` or `No` – determine if a value should be automatically 
      cleared if it does not match the mask. The previous default was `Yes`.
    - `Placeholder`: ‘char or string` – use a different character or string as a
      placeholder to be displayed as the user is entering their input.
 * Filters for future add-on support.
 * Updated Spanish translations.
 * Added Serbo-Croatian translations courtesy of Andrijana Nikolic / [WebHostingGeeks](http://webhostinggeeks.com/).

#### 1.7.5

 * Update for compatibility with ACF version 5.2.6+.

#### 1.7.4

 * Update CSS to properly handle visibility of validated fields via conditional 
   logic when the default visibility is hidden for new entries.
 * Bug fix: Remove warning when trying to access the Post ID when it is not available,
   on Options pages for example.

#### 1.7.3

 * Replace call to `acf_render_field_settings()` with action `acf/render_field_settings/
   type=?` to support ACF 5.2.3+.

#### 1.7.2

 * Allow `$message` to be returned from PHP code instead of `false` to fail validation.
    - Example code: `if ( !filter_var( $value, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL ) ) return 'You
      must use a valid URL.';`
    - Validation will fail if `$value` is not a URL, otherwise the default validation
      return is `true`.
 * Clean up handling of read only/hidden select fields.
 * Include additional default sub field values to prevent array index errors.
 * Update to work with the latest version of ACF JavaScript validation – requires
   nested `DIV` to properly append error message to the correct input field.

   not an existing field.
 * Bug fix: Fix processing of sub field "name” to correctly trigger ACF filters.

#### 1.6

   as they are not compatible.
 * Upgrade to jQuery Masked Input version 1.4.1.
 * **ACF5 only:**
    - Include unique value options of “Post” and "Post + Key”.
    - Check submitted values for duplicates when the field type is unique. This 
      fixes the issue where duplicate values are added to a unique repeater field,
      or the same value is entered for multiple meta_keys when the unique type is"
      global”, "post type”, or "post”.
 * Bug fix: Correctly call `$wpdb->esc_like()` as instance method for "globally 
   unique” fields.
 * Bug fix: Improve field/sub field handling and to correctly populate "id” for 
   use in HTML CSS selectors.

#### 1.5.1

   @dnrms.

 * Host `fontawesome.css` CSS and fonts locally and upgrade to version 4.2.
 * Upgraded jQuery Masked Input plugin to version 1.4.
 * Better support for Relationship field settings – only load sub field when the
   action is `acf/fields/relationship/query_posts` (ACF4) or `acf/fields/relationship/
   query` (ACF5).
 * For ACF 5+ only:
    - The new [`acf/validate_value`](http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf-validate_value/)
      filter is used for better compatibility and performance.
    - Get rid of inline JavaScript in the WordPress Admin and leverage ACF JavaScript
      events.
