Link field can’t use readonly. I add a field through this array:
array(
‘key’ => ‘field_salesforce_contact_url’,
‘label’ => ‘Salesforce Contact URL’,
‘name’ => ‘salesforce_contact_url’,
‘type’ => ‘link’,
‘readonly’ => 1,
),
I want user not to edit the link, so I set readonly, but It’s not working, does anyone know where I did it wrong?
I can also use url field type, but I want that clickable url to direct user to another page, so I want to stick to the link field.
You cannot make the field readonly.
I do not have any examples, there are 2 ways that you can do this.
The first is to use custom CSS in the admin to hide the edit and delete action button for the field.
[data-key="YOU FIELD KEY"] .acf-input .link-wrap a {
display: none;
}
The second would be to add custom JavaScript to the admin to remove the action buttons instead of hiding them.
