Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'Complex_Field' not found

Resolved

Hi,

following the Setup Methods example, I receive this error:

( ! ) Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'Complex_Field' not found in /srv/www/mysite.dev/current/web/app/plugins/laniakea-page-builder/carbonfields/post-meta.php on line 17

Could this be related to my previous problem? This is my post-meta.php code:

<?php
use Carbon_Fields\Container\Container;
use Carbon_Fields\Field\Field;

$employees_labels = array(
	'plural_name' => 'Employees',
	'singular_name' => 'Employee',
);

Container::make('post_meta', 'Custom Data')
	->show_on_post_type('page')
	->add_fields(array(

		Field::make('complex', 'crb_employee_data')
			->setup_labels($employees_labels)
			->set_layout(Complex_Field::LAYOUT_TABLE)
			->add_fields(array(
				Field::make('text', 'name')->help_text('Name of employee'),
				Field::make('text', 'position')->help_text('Position title'),
				Field::make('image', 'image'),
				Field::make('rich_text', 'description'),
			))
	));

Hey,

It appears that this was a mistake in our documentation.

We’ve now updated this example in the documentation – it was missing a use Carbon_Fields\Field\Complex_Field; statement.

Also, please note that the set_layout() method is deprecated, so we’ve removed it from the example as well.

Feel free to have a look at the latest code in the example.

Thanks!

Is there a way to set the contents of a group to either a row or a column display? Or would this be best achieved assigning custom field classes and writing a little CSS for the WP admin area?

I’ve got to say I really love the Carbon Fields so far, a hidden gem! With a little polishing in the docs and more example codes, I’m convinced this plugin will become huge 🙂

Cheers,
Richard

Hey again,

Yes, you can set the contents of a group to be displayed either in rows or columns.

Basically, the default layout of complex field groups is in columns, each field taking 100% width, and each next field positioned below the previous one.

But if you wish, you can position some of the fields of a group (or all of them) in a row. This can be achieved by using the set_width() method of each field. With this method you specify a percentage of the entire width that you wish this field to take.

For example, calling set_width(33) to all 3 fields in a group would position all three fields on one line. This gives you the option to position the fields in your groups as you wish – some of them can be on rows, taking 33% or 50% of the width, and some of them can be full width.

You can read more about this in the Fields -> Usage documentation article: http://carbonfields.net/docs/fields-usage/

And we’re really glad you like the plugin 🙂

Yes, I’m aware of the set_width method. I was actually hoping for a way to enable automatic equal width columns for a particular (nested) group/complex field. So that when a user adds 2 entries, each column becomes 50% wide, or 33% when he adds 3 entries and so on. This feature will be great for creating a complex page builder with lots of nested complex fields (for the html markup of sections>rows>columns>content blocks etc.), yet maintaining a compact and sensible UI for the end user.

Thanks for the idea.

This is a feature that we will probably consider implementing in a future version.
