Carbon-fields: enable carbon fields on fronetend?

[flexo911]

I want to connect to carbonfields on the frontend to be able to edit without entering adminpanel

[dmhendricks]

Is this a question or a statement?

[flexo911]

I want to create the possibility of editing the meta fields on the front of the site, more precisely so that the authors of the posts do not go into the admin panel and ruled on a special page. How to do it?
This is question

@flexo911 this is not currently supported (I've marked the issue as a feature request for this reason)

[flexo911]

Ok. Maybe you have alternative solutions?

[BenBroide]

@flexo911, you could set the fields to be visible on the rest api, then you could update the fields directly with a ajax call via the rest api.
Field::make(...)->set_visible_in_rest_api( $visible = true )

Being able to create custom containers / fields for WP frontend editing via Carbon Fields?

I second that! Please go for it! :+1:

Thanks for the great project the only thing that is missing is that all the potential of CF be used by front end

[flexo911]

@its-thomas,
in 2.2 v you can use this instruction https://carbonfields.net/docs/advanced-topics-updating-values-2/?crb_version=2-2-0

Thanks is interesting to be able to update the fields but it is different that the carbon files can also be edited by front end, because you could use all your full potential, the one that can be used by front end would be a great functionality and CF be complete and would not have competitors.
Thanks is a great project.

I'm sorry, but I also have to emphasize this topic (can't hold on). Using CF straight forward at the front end definitely would be the cherry on the cake!

Also thanks for the great plugin!

[dackr]

Well said @Elstermann we share your appreciation.

I am toying with the idea of using CF in a large project at the moment, the only thing holding me back is the front end editor function! Would be awesome if this could be added any time soon!
Thanks

I'd like to use CBF Gutenberg integration as a form-builder toolkit in order to create frontend forms.

But I wonder how to render a field on the frontend (outside Gutenberg)
Basically, we already have things like a React textarea renderer but no way to use it, no Field::display/render() function.

If we would, all the rest would be straightforward.

Note: Using form components for frontend forms is also a part where ACF usually falls short (complex to customize properly without a lot of hooks being involved).

Carbon Fields is meant to be used in the administration area.

There won't be an official support for using it on the frontend.

If anyone is interested, feel free to create an add-on package to support this :-)
