We release the ‘More Fields’ Wordpress plugin!
Finally, having uhhmm’d and ahhrree’d about implementation, I’ve decided submit the 0.4 beta version of the ‘More Fields’ plugin to the Wordpress Plugins CVS server, else it might never happen.
You can find more information about the plugin here. I’m hoping to update the examples to reflect the current look of the plugin, albeit I’m still hoping for a redesign of the ‘More Fields’ admin for some future version.
You can download the plugin from Wordpress.org.
The plugin is a beta, which means it might be riddled with bugs and oddities that might sink your particular Wordpress ship. It is released under the GPL license.
As always, feedback and comments are always very much appreciated.
I’m quite exited to see this one out the door. There are another two proprietary plugins that we currently run on dagensskiva.com - one that handles the external links associated with posts, and one (sizable) ad-management system. I’m hoping that these will also be released shortly.

Wonderful plugin.
With a BIG problem at the moment.
So I spent 30 minutes cooking up new custom bits for my post form…loving everything about More Fields.
I saved the new boxes I made.
And then 10 minutes later I wanted to edit one of the boxes.
When I went back into the More Fields Option page…all my lovely fields were gone. The plugin had reverted to defaults (i.e. no fields) and I’d lost everything I’d built over on my post form.
So now I’ve got to build it all….and then can never go back in to make changes.
This seems like a small oversight somewher ein the code that could be fixed with 10 minutes of your attention. Could you tell me what to modify in the PHP to get my changes to “keep”?

Brad’s issue was resolved, and changes submitted to the repository. Turns out that ($_POST) is not a good test to see if a form was submitted. Instead ($_POST['action'] == ‘update’) seems to be a better test. My Bad.

Has this plugin been tested with WP 2.5? I’m about to install it but given the impending release, I wanted to check first.
