Wish List

Put here all these feature to you want see in the future versions of Magic Fields

  1. Support for custom post-types (making it work with the “Custom Post Type UI” plugin would great!). Accepted (will be incorporate in the 1.5 version)
  2. Support for Wordpress' built-in Image Editor. (see wish list 4)
  3. Custom order of groups in a Write Panel(rather than alphabetically).
  4. Use Media Library for Uploads: As an option, offer a field that taps into WordPress' existing media library instead of using its own upload function for selecting images.Accepted (will be incorporate in the 1.5 version) http://bit.ly/ai91BZ http://bit.ly/anoLtg
  5. Specify options for TinyMCE Toolbars in custom fields: Either through a per-field setting or universally with something like the TinyMCE Options Override plugin.
  6. When duplicating groups keep the Duplicate Field Button(+) on the last group, rather than staying on the original group. It's easily lost if you re-order the groups later.
  7. When asked if I want to associate a write panel with a post/page and I click “Don't Assign Custom Write Panel,” remember my choice or give me the option to remember my choice.
  8. Ability to define what buttons go in the multiline textbox, possibly by communicating with the TinyMCE advanced plugin
  9. Ability to move a field from one group to another
  10. Ability to organize fields with drag and drop functionality as opposed to writing a sort key for each field
  11. Facilitate the development of advanced form functionality on the admin side of the write panel. This way, we can e.g. pull in information from one write panel to another when we choose it in the related type. This would allow truly advanced CMS functionality. A plan B is to create a developer guide on how to do so.
  12. Facilitate easier creation of new types of write panels. Maybe a custom type could be created. That type of field would require php programming in a text box inside the write panel definition
  13. A new field whose only purpose is to hold static text. This would enable developers to insert documentation inside the write panel itself. This would further enhance the usability improvement provided by the help text feature. It would be beneficial if this field was a multiline textbox, so that we could even add images to the documentation. We can use other means to style the text, or the option may be provided in the implementation itself.
  14. Ability to define duplicate fields as sortable or not, turn off the sort grab to the left. Some data sets should not be sorted.
  15. Either new multiline text field that doesn't have the standard WP toolbar, so only plain text can be entered (and HTML tags will be stripped), or an additional option for the existing textfield panel item that allows number of lines to be set (defaulting to 1) as well as character width of each line. Additionally, I think the multi-line textfield should be renamed something like 'Formatted Text Field', as 'multiline text field' doesn't really describe what it does.
  16. Reassociate a page with a different Custom Write Panel or the possibility of unlink from a Custom Write Panel.
  17. To assign a Custom Write Panel to a page from the Edit pages panel, /wp-admin/edit-pages.php, through a select in the 'panel name' column and the possibility of use bulk actions. So, we could delete de Custom Write Panel links from the Pages menu to better integration.
  18. Ability to give fields (or at least the duplicated fields) a new name and ability to echo this name in template.
  19. For the help text, change the label (what's this?) to (?). The “what's this” line is unnecessary and when you have a lot of them, all the red text can be overbearing. Maybe even make it a different color than fully saturated red.
  20. Custom fields wich are available on each site. A global panel for boxes wich can used on every page you want for example get_global('MyFieldName'); Very basic and very usefull.
  21. Inline-editing for each Element (e.g. coments). for Example to edit the excerp on the blog-index page (multiple)
  22. upload of multiple images as a zip archive
  23. upload status bar
  24. Ability to have the multi-line textboxes use the CKeditor html editor.
  25. Ability to associate with Next Gen Galleries (saw someone post this in a blog comment, too)
  26. Display the field variable in the write panel higher level table so that it's easier to grab it for use in code.
  27. After the duplicate option, ask the maximun number of duplicate allowed, so user don't go to infinite.
  28. Ability to associate any created field to a minimun user role to show it (ie may be some fields only showed to editor users)
  29. Ability to pre-fill text field with default value.
  30. Ability to check allowed sintax of text field (ie verify email field or telephone number field)
  31. Custom Permalink Slug to each post type (ie if i have 'movies' write panel, http://myblog.com/movies retrieve all movies custom post)
