Field types overview

Ultivo Toolkit ships 35 field types, grouped into six categories in the builder. Two of them, Flexible Content and Clone, come with Pro and are marked below; the other 33 are in the free version. The layout category is where the structural types live: Repeater, Flexible content and Group & Clone each have their own page.

Basic#

  • Text: single-line text input, with optional prepend/append and a character limit.
  • Text Area: multi-line text, with configurable rows and new-line handling.
  • Number: numeric input with min/max/step constraints.
  • Range: a slider over the same numeric constraints.
  • Email: text input validated as an email address.
  • URL: text input validated as a URL (lenient: a missing scheme is fine).
  • Password: masked text input.
  • Phone: telephone number input.

Content#

  • WYSIWYG Editor: the WordPress rich-text editor, with configurable tabs, toolbar and media buttons.
  • Image: a media-library image, returned as array, URL or ID.
  • File: any media-library file.
  • Gallery: an ordered collection of images.

Choice#

  • Select: dropdown, optionally multiple or nullable.
  • Checkbox: multiple choices as checkboxes.
  • Radio Button: one choice as radio buttons.
  • Button Group: radio behavior styled as a row of buttons.
  • True / False: a single on/off toggle with a custom message.

Relational#

  • Link: URL, title and target in one value.
  • Post Object: pick one or more posts, filtered by post type.
  • Page Link: like Post Object, but returns the permalink.
  • Relationship: a richer multi-post picker with search and min/max.
  • Taxonomy: pick terms from a taxonomy, optionally assigning them to the post.
  • User: pick one or more users, filtered by role.

jQuery#

  • Map (OpenStreetMap): a location picker.
  • Date Picker: date selection with configurable display and return formats.
  • Date Time Picker: date plus time.
  • Time Picker: time only.
  • Color Picker: the WordPress color picker.

Layout#

  • Message: static text between fields; stores nothing.
  • Tab: splits the group's fields into tabs; stores nothing.
  • Accordion: collapsible sections between fields; stores nothing.
  • Group: bundles sub-fields under one name; see Group & Clone.
  • Repeater: a list of rows, each with the same sub-fields; see Repeater.
  • Flexible Content (Pro): an ordered mix of layouts, each with its own sub-fields; see Flexible content.
  • Clone (Pro): reuses existing fields or whole groups in place; see Group & Clone.
