I'm trying to add a custom field to Ninja Forms (v. 3.3). Can't find a complete example anywhere.
Digging through the code it seems that the filter 'ninja_forms_register_fields' would do the trick but I can't get it to run anywhere.
Here is how to create/add new Ninja Forms field type (keep in mind this code should be moved into separate WordPress plugin).
First we need to hook into ninja_forms_register_fields:
add_filter( 'ninja_forms_register_fields', array($this, 'register_fields'));
Then define method register_fields (inside plugin class):
public function register_fields($actions) {
$actions['blah'] = new NF_CustomPlugin_Fields_Blah();
return $actions;
}
Last step is to declare NF_CustomPlugin_Fields_Blah class:
class NF_CustomPlugin_Fields_Blah extends NF_Fields_Textbox {
protected $_name = 'blah';
protected $_section = 'common'; // section in backend
protected $_type = 'textbox'; // field type
protected $_templates = 'textbox'; // template; it's possible to create custom field templates
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->_nicename = __( 'Blah Field', 'ninja-forms' );
}
}
