Hi
When adding a prepare_field filter that disables or makes a field readonly by adding $field['disabled'] = true; for certain field types doesn’t work.
‘user’ field: the select2 still renders.
‘true_false’ field: the field output is not changed where I was expecting "disabled"="disabled"
Thanks
Not all select 2 fields can be disabled. Actually, I’m not sure that any select2 fields can be disabled.
In the case of the true/false field it could be something in the code for the new UI for these fields. Are you seeing the problem with the stylized UI on or off?
One year passed and we still are here… I can’t use $field[‘disabled’] = true; for ‘true/false’-field, because that doesn’t work. It’s a bit strange to have the functional which don’t work with two type of field. Why that is?
“Are you seeing the problem with the stylized UI on or off?” – Yes.
If I make the field[‘ui’] = 0; then will $field[‘disabled’] = true work? Where I need do it? I mean now I work into ‘acf/prepare_field’.
The stylized UI uses a select2 field and not a checkbox field. Select2 fields cannot be disabled. It might be possible to do by adding custom JavaScript, but to be honest I don’t know for sure. But it can’t be done using the prepare field hook or in PHP using any hook.
Hello I wanted to state that I came across this issue and I believe I was able to make this work as expected for the true_false field, now I know this will be removed upon an update but maybe this can make it’s way into the production version??
I added this to line 67 of the class-acf-field-true_false.php file.
// disabled
if( array_key_exists( 'disabled', $field ) && $field['disabled']) {
$input['disabled'] = true;
$hidden['value'] = $field['value'] ? true : false;
}
Any chance this will make it soon to the core plugin?
