I’m working on Advanced Post Creation. 2 questions about it.

  1. When I add a Post Image field there are 2 options missing. First one is the size limit, and the second one is the file type (jpg, png, …).
    How can I set these?

  2. How can I set a minimum characters limit on the post Body field?

Hey Andre, if you’re using the Advanced Post Creation add-on, you actually shouldn’t use the Post Image or Post Body fields. You’d use a File Upload and Paragraph Text field instead.

The File Upload field has settings for specifying the accepted file types and the maximum file size accepted.

The Paragraph Text field doesn’t natively support a minimum character limit but you can do so with this free snippet:

Also, check out our free GF Autogrow plugin for a nice UX improvement on those Paragraph Text fields’ as well.

Hello David,
thanks for responding. I actually thought I need to use the post creation fields, even when I use the APC add-on.
With the way you describe the frontend post creation I see 2 potential problems.

  1. Using the file upload field doesn’t give me the option to set the “featured image” of the post.
  2. Using the text area field doesn’t give me the option to actually feed into the post body.
    I need both for the template I’ve created. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Nope! Post fields don’t actually work with the APC add-on. More details on that.

The APC add-on should have a Featured Image option on the feed which can be mapped to a Single File Upload field.

For the Post Body, you would map the Paragraph Text field in the feed as well.

Got it. Many thanks for your help.
