Joomla 3.7 fields_plugin question

[Ruud van Lent]

Hi,

does anybody know if it is possible to limit a plg_fields_[customfield] to a extension?
I am creating a custom field plugin so the user can upload an avatar (inclusive cropping etc.), but it is also possible to set this field to articles (which is 'useless').

Is it possible to set some 'value' in the plugin so the plg_fields_[customfield] can only be used in e.g. com_users?

This would be a new option on the field. But com_fields is working with contexts, so com_fields needs to be changed the way, that it is going to search fields based on a context.

Hi, laoneo, thanks for your reply!
When an administrator adds the custom field designed for com_users to com_content, then it would still work correctly I guess. Was wondering if there was a setting that I missed :)
Not sure what is involved in adding this as an option, so not sure if there is a 'business case'...
