Ryan, This plugin was already outdated long before Custom Post Types was introduced. There are plenty clones of this plugin that are compatible with latest WP. Please search the plugin directory or post on the WP's forum or IRC for recommendation. The other plugins should be compatible with mine (provided the authors code them properly) and you don't lose your data or have to migrate the data.

Can you update this plugin? Some people prefer to use Custom Post Types but there are some of us who just want to use Custom Fields and would like them layed out in a nice looking form.

There ARE people who still want this plugin.

Yes, there are similar plugins, like the verve meta boxes. That one works fine, the only thing is that is doesn’t work well. Sometimes all the info is suddenly gone, after moving the window to another place on the admin page. This Custom Field GUI I’m using for years and just now it gives me some trouble. But I’m already searching for ohter plugins :)

Very old indeed. I believe many have taken the idea of this plugin and created a similar plugin. I don’t remember the names but just post on WordPress’ forum or IRC and someone should be able to suggest a plugin.

It looks as if this plugin is old, very old ;). Nevertheless I still use it everyday to add icons to posts I write. So, when there is a gallery inside a post, or it contains interactive content, or video or sound, I add an icon to it so visitors are aware of them. Somehow, with version 1.3.2 of WP, I have to click ‘Save post’ many times for the custom field to be saved with the post. Also, the checked boxes on the post admin screen are not visible afterwards. When I succeed in adding one of those custom fields, the actual checkbos remains empty.

Are you in any way still maintaining this plugin? As far as I can see it’s the only plugin that gives me checkboxes for custom fields.

I’m still using this plugin but was wondering if it could be updated to fit in WP 2.7? It’s still functioning as it should, just not in a handy place at the bottom of the ‘write new post’ screen. If it would fit in the new page layout of 2.7 I could move it up next.

Thanks!

maybe this time:
$out = '' . '' . $title . ' ' . ' ' .attribute_escape($value). '' . '' . "


      // 
      edCanvas = document.getElementById('$name');

          // If tinyMCE is defined.

      if ( typeof tinyMCE != 'undefined' ) {

      // This code is meant to allow tabbing from Title to Post (TinyMCE).

          document.getElementById('title').onkeydown = function (e) {

              e = e || window.event;

              if (e.keyCode == 9 && !e.shiftKey && !e.controlKey && !e.altKey) {

                  if ( tinyMCE.activeEditor ) {

                      if ( (jQuery(\"#post_ID\").val()  0) ) { autosave(); }

                      e = null;

                      if ( tinyMCE.activeEditor.isHidden() ) return true;

                      tinyMCE.activeEditor.focus();

                      return false;

                  }

                  return true;

              }

          }

      }

          // ]]>

          switchEditors.go('$name');
