Add a notification if categories multiselect with + Ctrl is set

I believe it would be clunky, if I added such comments as standard, as there is so many different ways Frontier Post is used.

I would prefer if you could use Actions to display additional information –

frontier_post_form_standard.php has the below actions actions:
frontier_post_form_standard_top (Fires just before the editor)
or
frontier_post_form_standard (Fires just before submit buttons)

example of coding here:
https://wpfrontier.com/frontier-post-add-fields/
https://wpfrontier.com/frontier-post-actions-hooks/

– It could make sense to add an additional action – ex: frontier_post_form_standard_tax – that would fire just before the taxonomies (and category) is displayed.

let me know what you think.

I couldn’t make it through adding fields and actions, finnj.
The most reliable solution for me is to add a <div> block with text to frontier_post_form_standard.php template in my theme folder, and display it with css if category <select> field has a “multiple” attribute equal to “multiple”.

in version 4.4.4 there is a new action: frontier_post_form_standard_tax

You could add the following code to your functions.php:

function fp_my_custom_tax_output($thispost, $tmp_task_new, $tmp_tax_name)
   {
   if ($tmp_tax_name == "category")
     Echo '<div id="fp_tax_explanation">*** Your explanation text***</div>';
   }

// add the action	
add_action( 'frontier_post_form_standard_tax', 'fp_my_custom_tax_output', 10, 2 );

Below you can see the code of the action

//****************************************************************************************************
// Action fires before displaying taxonomies
// Do action 		frontier_post_form_standard_top
// $thispost 		Post object for the post  
// $tmp_task_new  	Equals true if the user is adding a post
// $tmp_tax_name	Name of Taxonomy (ex Category")

//****************************************************************************************************
	
do_action('frontier_post_form_standard_tax', $thispost, $tmp_task_new, $tmp_tax_name);

Thank you very much, finnj!
Will try your solution after next FP update.
