[Plugin: Custom Field Suite] Feature request – reg expressions

  • It would be cool if for adding a new field input type text you could provide 2 additional fields. First field would take a regular expression string, another just a text for an error when the value does not pass regular expression.

    This way, those who know power of regular expressions could provide for fields a good checking of the inputted data (you could also provide a drop down with most common like numbers only, one numbers, emails, website, etc). However, just a custom regular expression would be very cool, most programmers could make up their own one.

    I think this would make this plugin a much more powerful one since it would allow field data checking.

  • This would be cool.

    I like the idea — validation is something we’re going to need.

    Instead of adding validation logic to each field, would you be OK with some sort of validation hook? For example:

    add_filter('cfs_validators', 'my_custom_validator');

function my_custom_validator($validators) {
    $validators['valid_email'] = array(
        'label' => 'Valid Email',
        'field_types' => array('text'),
        'logic' => 'is_valid_email', // function name or regex
        'error_text' => 'Please enter a valid email for {@label}',
    );
    return $validators;
}

    That way, we could add validators that can be applied to multiple fields, and multiple field types.
