Auto-Collapsed, Prevent Inline Title Editing?

    Big fan of your plugins. Thank you for creating them.

    One thing I’ve encountered is that auto-collapsed items have inline title editing enabled within modal windows even if they’re disabled. Is there a way to fix this? When trying to expand the bars, it does inline editing instead, which makes it tough to expand and less obvious that the functionality to expand even exists unless you are familiar with the editor.

    In general, the collapsed states do not look like toggles unless you hover over them to make the icon show, and even then only if you avoid clicking on the inline titles by mistake. I’ve partly fixed this with a css tweak for the admin area, but it still isn’t as obvious a function as I’d have hoped. Any suggestions?

    body .acf-repeater .acf-row > .acf-row-handle .acf-icon {
    display:block;
    }

    Lastly, it’d be neat to have a zebra stripe effect for rows in the backend if possible. It’d make it easier to recognize where a block starts and ends. Haven’t tried that one with css yet, but it’d be a neat addition.

    Thanks for all that you do!

    Hello,

    Thanks for the feedback, and sorry for the late answer, I’m kinda busy with the upcoming patch lately.

    I’m glad to hear that you enjoy ACF Extended ??

    One thing I’ve encountered is that auto-collapsed items have inline title editing enabled within modal windows even if they’re disabled.

    From what I understand, you mean that you don’t want to have the “Inline Title” input when a Layout is “Toggled Off” (using the “Toggle” setting).

    Well, the “Toggle” setting is a feature that disable the layout from being displayed on the front-end. But the layout should be still customizable in the back-end, including edit sub fields and the Inline Title. It would be weird to have to “Toggle On” the layout, edit the “Inline Title”, and Toggle Off again to retrun to the original state just to edit the title.

    Regarding the layouts icons which are only displayed when the user hover a layout, this is the native ACF Flexible Content behavior, and I try to not differ more than necessary from the native ACF behavior. Some users might be upset to have all icons displayed all the time. So, to please the the biggest number, I try stick to the native behavior when possible, and just add some touch with new features here and there (new icons).

    The CSS solution you found to display the icons all the time looks good. It’s perfectly fine to add your own customization to make ACF Fields behave the way you want.

    Regarding the “Zebra” suggestion, unfortunately the logic is the same as above. Adding a custom style may irritate users which are used to the native Flexible Content, especially with a zebra, which is not part of the WordPress admin design system. Again, it’s perfectly fine to add your own CSS to customize it.

    One of the main philosophy of ACF Extended is to make its integration to ACF/WP seamless. The most pleasant compliment a user can tell me is that he can’t tell if a feature is part of ACF or ACF Extended anymore.

    I hope my vision is now more clear.

    Have a nice day!

    Regards.
