And what would be the benefit of using a component rather then a text area on the settings page? I think that would just confuse the user or make them go to another place when it could be done on the spot.mikeh Wrote:shawn_a Wrote:Can you dump all the fields into an object and pass it globally to a user specified component?
It's a lot easier than coding all your config stuff into your plugin, and it's all in one place.
Well the whole process becomes a bit complicated due to the rules on the settings page.
(display thumbnail, tags, date, etc..)
hmm, i imagine those would be ignored if people were using their own component for rendering.
They could make those decisions on their own in code.
Granted this is a advanced user use scenario.
