add Remove Field Confirmation Dialog

  • Hi there

    It would be great (IMO) to have functions to prevent removing fields/layouts by accident (in Repeater Field / Flexible Content Fields).

    It happens quite often that users accidentally remove fields/layouts by clicking the minus icon (-), with the intent to collapse a row. But of course the entire field gets removed then. Hm.

    To prevent that, I’d love to see some kind of a confirmation dialog or double click scenario before a field/layout gets removed.

    Alternatively or additionally, an UNDO function would serve the same purpose.

    // Just an idea to make the best plugin even better 🙂

  • I’ve posted this request on the github issues board. So your request is known by the developer

  • Hi @kitt

    Thanks for the feature request.

    I can add in a setting to allow a confirmation popup. Leave it with me and I’ll have a think about the best way to add this in

  • Hi @kitt

    I’ve done some testing with this idea and think it will be best to leave as a snippet of code instead of merging into the core.

    You can use it like so:

    
    <?php
    
    add_action('acf/input/admin_head', 'my_acf_admin_head');
    
    function my_acf_admin_head() {
    	
    	?>
    	<script type="text/javascript">
    	(function($) {
    		
    		acf.add_action('ready', function(){
    			
    			$('body').on('click', '.acf-repeater-remove-row', function( e ){
    				
    				return confirm("Delete row?");
    				
    			});	
    			
    		});
    		
    	})(jQuery);	
    	</script>
    		
    	<?php	
    	
    }
    
    ?>
    

    This will allow you to decline the prompt and prevent the click action from triggering ACF’s repeater remove function.

    Thanks

  • Hi Guys,

    This seems very useful.
    To we have to add this code to the function.php?

    Regards,

    Franck

  • Yes, you would add the code to functions.php

  • Tx. That’s what I tought. I use to have the blank page error because of my syntax. You cannot copy/paste this directly 😉

    Now I would like to do the same but with a flxiebl field.
    any ideas ?

    Cheers.

  • Got it guys.
    Here’s for a flexible field on
    ACF Pro 5.3.2.2

    add_action('acf/input/admin_head', 'my_acf_admin_head');
    
    function my_acf_admin_head() {
    	
    	?>
    	<script type="text/javascript">
    	(function($) {
    		
    		acf.add_action('ready', function(){
    			
    			$('body').on('click', 'li.acf-fc-show-on-hover a.acf-icon.-minus.small', function( e ){
    				
    				return confirm("Do you really want to delete this?");
    				
    			});	
    			
    		});
    		
    	})(jQuery);	
    	</script>
    		
    	<?php	
    	
    }
  • Hi!!

    I know the topic has already been solved, but I’m looking for just that !! However, for my case it did not work. I inserted in the functions.php of my theme. That’s right??

    add_action('acf/input/admin_head', 'my_acf_admin_head');
    
    function my_acf_admin_head() {
    	
    	?>
    	<script type="text/javascript">
    	(function($) {
    		
    		acf.add_action('ready', function(){
    			
    			$('body').on('click', '.acf-repeater .acf-row-handle .acf-icon.-minus', function( e ){
    				
    				return confirm("Tem certeza que irá deletar este item?");
    				
    			});	
    			
    		});
    		
    	})(jQuery);	
    	</script>
    		
    	<?php	
    	
    }

    What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you in advance.

  • The ACF class names changed and so you need to adjust that. This one works for me:

    add_action('acf/input/admin_head', 'my_acf_admin_head_flex');
    
    function my_acf_admin_head_flex() {
    	
    	?>
    	<script type="text/javascript">
    	(function($) {
    		
    		acf.add_action('ready', function(){
    			
    			$('body').on('click', '.acf-fc-layout-controlls .acf-icon.-minus.small', function( e ){
    				
    				return confirm("Tem certeza que irá deletar este item?");
    				
    			});	
    			
    		});
    		
    	})(jQuery);	
    	</script>
    		
    	<?php	
    	
    }
