I’m bored. So here is the list of supported types of custom fields that can be associated for each custom write panel.
* Update: I stroke out Radiobutton from the list because, who wants a control with only one radio button? Such form control just doesn’t make any sense. A Checkbox should be used instead.
A custom write panel is, in essence, a customized Write Post panel. Users will be able to create as many custom write panels as they want, name the new custom write panels as they want, pre-assign a category or more, and display a specified set of custom fields. That is what you can expect from the first release of Custom Write Panel.
Custom Write Panel may have options to display or not display certain Post fields, such as, Categories, Uploads, Post Password and the like, and even hide the original Write Post but that’s of secondary functionality and may not make it to the first release.
Custom Write Panel is another WordPress plugin in the work. It is a plugin that will allow users to create custom write panels, alongside the existing Write Post and Write Page panels.
This custom write panels will appear under the Write panel, as Write Book Review, Write Aside, or Write [fill in the blank]. When a user chooses to write post under, say, Write Book Review, the write screen will be pre-set with the assigned category (Book Review). It will display certain set of custom fields (Book Title, Author, ISBN, etc).
Screenshot coming soon. Follow updates in Custom Write Panel section. For those of you who’ve been using Custom Field GUI, get ready to ditch that plugin.
