Field Manager not working on the front end

[nicoladj77]

I've been using Field Manager to display forms on the front end. It works pretty well, but that requires manually changing the files, as javascript/css is not loaded on the front end. Would it be possible to add a filter so that it's possible to use Fieldmanager on the front end if needed?

Hi @nicoladj77 — could you please share an example of the code that's used to load fields on the frontend and an example of the change to files that's necessary to get static assets to load?

@dlh01 to load fields on the front end I use

	$field_value = '';
	if ( $options['load_values'] ) {
		$field_value = self::get_question_answer( $question->ID, $options['grant_request_id'] );
	}
	$name            = 'question_' . $question->ID;
	$question_fields = get_post_meta( $question->ID, 'question-fields', true );
	$attributes      = [];
	if ( $options['readonly'] ) {
		$attributes['disabled'] = 'disabled';
	}
	if ( isset( $question_fields['correct-answer'] ) ) {
		$attributes['data-correct'] = $question_fields['correct-answer'];
	}

	$fm = new \Fieldmanager_Radios(
		$question->post_title,
		[
			'name'        => $name,
			'description' => $question->post_excerpt,
			'options'     => [
				'yes' => __( 'Yes', '' ),
				'no'  => __( 'No', '' ),
			],
			'required'    => true,
			'attributes'  => $attributes,
			'escape'      => [ 'description' => 'wp_kses_post' ],
		]
	);
	echo $fm->element_markup( $field_value ); // phpcs:ignore

While the issue in code is on this line https://github.com/alleyinteractive/wordpress-fieldmanager/blob/main/php/util/class-fieldmanager-util-assets.php#L186
I guess you could wrap the is_admin call in a filter and it would be possible to override it.
