Hi, I need to create a new custom field based on multiple input text fields (to be very exact, its a bunch of text fields to store social media account URLs). I tried to clone the existing multi_text field with some modifications, but with no luck. Is there any way you can help me to do this? I am totally lost here.

The place where I am stuck is storing the value of each input in an array and retrieve it, sorry, but seems it requires advanced knowledge of PHP which I lack.

Any, any code sample to get me going will be a great help. Thanks

Here you go, a custom field boilerplate: https://github.com/ReduxFramework/extension-boilerplate

Use it with the loader: https://github.com/ReduxFramework/redux-extensions-loader

Hi Dovy, Thanks for the reply. That's exactly what I am following. But I am not sure what to code in public function render().

[dovy]

That's the HTML output of your actual field. Just be sure to put in the "name" argument the following:

your_opt_name[field_id], otherwise things won't save. ;)

Thanks dovy, How do I retrieve the data to display in the "value" field of the input text field?

[dovy]

In your global variable as if it were any other field.

Say your opt_name is redux_demo and you didn't change the global variable to anything, and say your field ID is field_id:

$redux_demo['field_demo']

I think you'd be wise to look at this field https://github.com/reduxframework/redux-framework/blob/master/ReduxCore/inc/fields/text/field_text.php and just copy the render section and go from there.

Thanks Dovy, You're a life-saver. That indeed is working.
