Supported data vendors

Out-of-the-box, the Advanced Views (AVF) plugin supports over 130 field types from 5 different data vendors.

Note: Use the latest version of third-party plugins to avoid unexpected behaviour.

What does out-of-the-box support mean?

Out-of-the-box support in the Advanced Views (AVF) plugin means that it will automatically generate default markup for supported fields. During rendering, it will also automatically read data from the database, convert it to the correct format, and pass it to the template.

Advanced Views doesn't put any limitations on the vendors listed below. You can pass any data, including data obtained from any API, to the template using the Custom Data feature.

3. Advanced Custom Fields plugin

Advanced Views Framework supports all meta fields created by the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin.

Note: Some ACF field types aren't meta and only UI. For instance the "Message" field type doesn't have any value and the Advanced Views Framework therefore doesn't support it.

3.1) Supported fields types (36)

Besides the built-in ACF field types, we also support some extra field types, added by the plugins. You can find the whole list of the support fields types below. If the field type comes from an ACF addon, then it'll be marked in brackets.
