I was “that close” to an alpha release, I realized that I needed to create more tables to hold the parameters for custom field GUIs (size, cols, rows, etc). Gah! This “scope creep” will just never end.

Wow! This is just what I have been waiting for! Then I don’t have to sacrifice my whole post page for one category. YAY! Joshua, you have probably made a couple of the most useful wp plugins I have used.
I was curious of you were gonna add lellie’s header functionality. I cannot find her version of custom field gui anywhere and can’t find a contact for her. I think it would be a great addition, I have done a couple sites where I have a REALLY long list of custom fields and the post screen would look a lot nicer if I could kind of group them together by putting headings. for example, if i was posting info about a CD i could have something like:
ARTIST INFO
-name field
-record label field
CD INFO
-cd name field
-release date field
TRACKS
-track 1 field
-track2 field
-etc.
Instead of just:
-name field
-record label field
-cd name field
-release date field
-track 1 field
-track2 field
-etc.
Travis,
Thanks for the suggestion–a great one! Though first release could survive without it, for sure I want to implement this on the next release.
I also thought it would be cool for the backend if you could use a little javascript to make the fields sortable with some kind of drag (assuming you have already created the page and are in edit mode), so you could re-order the list and then save.
Do you have the code for Lellie’s version of custom field GUI? I still want to implement that into a site I have already done, she talked about how she did it, but never posted the code.
