## Description

The filed selector field allows the selection of other custom fields. This is useful
in situations where you want to give the user powerful display options. You could,
for example, allow the user to select which custom fields are displayed in a post.

#### ACF Compatibility

This ACF field type is compatible with both _ACF 4_ and _ACF 5_.

#### Thanks

 * [Advanced Custom Fields](http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/) for the awesome
   base plugin.
 * [Alexei Ryazancev](https://www.iconfinder.com/GlumPix) for the plugin icon

## Installation

#### Automatic Installation

Installing this plugin automatically is the easiest option. You can install the 
plugin automatically by going to the plugins section in WordPress and clicking Add
New. Type “ACF Field Selector” in the search bar and install the plugin by clicking
the Install Now button.

#### Manual Installation

 1. Copy the `acf-field-selector-field` folder into your `wp-content/plugins` folder
 2. Activate the Google Field Selector plugin via the plugins admin page
 3. Create a new field via ACF and select the Role Selector type
 4. Please refer to the description for more info regarding the field type settings

#### For Developers

For developers I’ve included a filter which allows you to further filter selected
fields. At the moment this filter is used to make sure that included and excluded
types and groups are reflected in the selectable list.

    ```
    add_filter( 'acffsf/item_filters', 'selectable_item_filter', 10, 2 )
    ```

The first parameter is the list of items to modify, the second is the setting field.
