acf-text-field maxlength check failing

[flameoftheforest]

Hi,

On publishing, the class-acf-field-text.php/acf-field-text::validate_field checks the $field['maxlength'].

It is not able to pre-filter the value through acf-qtranslate.

The acf-field-text also does not have a hook to interface with this.

Here's my workaround which I put in my theme/functions.php

add_filter('acf/validate_value', 'qtranslate_interfaced_validation', 10, 4);
function qtranslate_interfaced_validation($valid, $value, $field, $input) {
	// class-acf-field-text.php/acf-field-text::validate_field checks the $field['maxlength']
	// but is not able to pre-filter it's value through acf-qtranslate
	// The acf-field-text also does not have a hook to interface with this.
	//
	// Here's a workaround:
	// If $valid is 'Value must not exceed'-prefixed
	// and $field['maxlength'] exists, we can be rather certain tat acf-field-text::validate_field has
	// failed check.
	// Perform the translation extraction and redo the check again.
	//
	// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
	$prefix = 'Value must not exceed';
	if (!function_exists('qtranxf_getLanguage')) return $valid;
	if (!array_key_exists('maxlength', $field)) return $valid;
	if (!is_string($valid)) return $valid;
	if (!(substr($valid, 0, strlen($prefix)) === $prefix)) return $valid;
	$active_language = apply_filters('acf_qtranslate_get_active_language', qtrans_getLanguage());
	$value = explode("[:{$active_language}]", $value)[1];
	$value = explode("[:", $value)[0];
	if (strlen($value) > $field['maxlength']) {
		return sprintf( __('Value must not exceed %d characters', 'acf'), $field['maxlength'] );
	}
	return true;
}

It would be really great if you can address this in acf-qtranslate please.

Thanks!
