Simple Fields

Simple Fields turns WordPress into an even more powerful Content Management System (CMS).

The plugin doesn't aim at replacing the WordPress custom fields, but only enriching it.

Instead of supporting only text-based user input in WP's custom field section, plugin and theme developers can create rich visual interfaces for getting user feedback via various UI widgets like textareas, radio buttons, checkboxes, etc..

This throws the way you interact with custom fields out the window, but keeps its underlying code for getting and saving user selections in place.

Installation:

Unpack and upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.

What is new in this release:

• Added: when WB_DEBUG is enabled/true then a "Edit Field Group"-link is added to the header of a field group in the edit post screen and a "Edit Post Connector" is added to the Simple Fields box in the right sidebar (where you select what connector to use for the post). Hopefully these links speed up your development a bit (at least when you're working with setting up your fields.)
• Now outputs the full name and slug of a post type in the post connector and post connector default admin. Previously only slug was shown.
• Fixed some notice warnings, for example when getting extended values for a date field or when a slug did not exist
• Removed a console.log()

What is new in version 1.4.2:

• Post Connectors can now be set from within a page template. Just add Simple Fields Connector: slugOfPostConnector to your template and that connector will be used for all pages with that template.

What is new in version 1.3.2:

• Updated field extension example with code to notify user that they must have simple fields installed to use the plugin.
• simple_fields_register_post_connector can now accept a string in the post_types argument, if only one post type is to be connected.
• Fixed a problem with the date/timepicker v2 not being se correctly when option "no date" was selected.

What is new in version 1.3.1:

• Fixed:
• Used short tags in options screen.

What is new in version 1.2:

• Added support for the new media manager that was introduced in WordPress 3.5.
• Added support for HTML5 input types like color, date, range, email, URL.
• Added support for adding fields to attachments, attachments now works the way as regular posts: just any amount of fields to an attachment.

What is new in version 1.1.4:

• Changed all jQuery javascript live events to on events, because live is deprecated.
• Removed several javscript actions that were called on edit post page. Hopefully makes the edit post screen a bit quicker when working with repeatable custom fields
• Probably some misc stuff I don't remember

What is new in version 1.1.3:

• Changed date and time picker to use simplified ISO 8601 return format.
• Changed repeatable fields to be a bit more nice looking.
• Changed file field to show "edit" and "remove"-links only on mouse over.
• Fixed some notice warnings.
• Use built in function to remove meta instead of direct SQL calls.

What is new in version 1.1.1:

• Fixed:
• Styles and scripts where not outputted on all post types.

What is new in version 1.0.6:

• Added:
• date_i8n-format for date field when using extended return values.
• Support for extended return values for function simple_fields_get_post_value().
• Fixed:
• Group to cache functions + clears the cache when using the register-functions.
• File dialog javascript now checks that the pagenow variable exists before trying to use it. Hopefully fixes problems with Post Thumbnail Editor and other plugins that also use the file dialog.
• Changed:
• Hide "show time" for date field, since we don't use it for anything.

What is new in version 1.0.3:

• Added:
• Option to set the height for textarea fields (inlcuding HTML/TinyMCE-editor-mode)
• New field type: divider. Useful if you have a field group with many fields. By adding the divider field to a field group it simply created a shite space or a space with a line. It's written using the new Extension API btw, so feel free to check out the source if you want to create something similar yourself.
• Changed:
• The debug output also includes example on how to get all field in a field group at once.

What is new in version 1.0:

• Added:
• CSS classes to field groups in admin area, so developers can style things there.
