Custom Field GUI
This WordPress plugin enables the automation of creation of form element user interface for entering Post’ custom field. User will specify the form input type, the subject, and available options (when applicable). The corresponding form elements will automatically appear in the Write Post page.
Installation
Unpack the file rc-custom-field-gui.zip and upload the folder rc-custom-field-gui to wp-content/plugins/. Activate from WP’s Plugin Management page.
Configuration
This plugin supports the following types of form element: textfield, checkbox, radio, select, and textarea. To specify the custom fields, edit the file conf.ini.
Each entry begins with the subject inside square brackets. The second line specifies its type. The third line, which only applies to type “radio” and “select,” enumerates the available options. Each option has to be separated by a hash mark (#). For type “textarea”, “rows” and “cols” will specify, respectively, the height and width of textarea. The following are sample entries in conf.ini.
[Plan] type = textfield [Favorite Post] type = checkbox [Miles Walked] type = radio value = 0-9 # 10-19 # 20+ [Temper Level] type = select value = High # Medium # Low [Hidden Thought] type = textarea rows = 4 cols = 40
The custom fields’ values can be displayed with the regular method or with the help of appropriate plugins.
