User field for v4

[elliotcondon]

Hi Lewis,

I'm Elliot, the dev behind ACF and just wanted to say hi, thank you for making this field and also chat about the new ACF v4.

Unfortunately, in v4, I have had to change the way in which we define custom field types, this means your field is not compatible with the new ACF and wont work.

This said, it will not require much work at all to create a v4 compatible field type!
Please read the new documentation for creating a field type here:
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/docs/tutorials/creating-a-new-field-type/

You will find that some functions have changed names. I advise that you start with a blank dummy.php field file and copy across your old functions one by one into the new function spaces.

I'm more than happy to help out with creating a v4 compatible field type, just let me know.

I'm not sure if you would want to create a new repository or just a new branch, but either way, both versions will need a url for users to find.

I'm sorry about causing any extra work and hassle, thanks for all your hard work, it's greatly appreciated!

Cheers
Elliot

I'm interested in getting this to work with v4. I'm not much of a coder. Is there anything I can do to help?

I'm interested in seeing this work with v4 as well. @lewismcarey are you still actively developing this?
