Simple Input Tabs

[ChriS]

My fault with the shortcode, this code does it well:

Code:

<?php insert_page_content(); ?>
<?php insert_page_content("SecondContent"); ?>

I have tried it together with I18N Plugin (Multilanguage). For the second language the additional tab was not showed. Maybe you can check this, because the I18N compatibility is very important for me and I think for the many multilanguage users.

When you say you want the option to change input fields, do you mean to replace the main edit box? As in, an 'image' field might just have an image upload button and nothing else?

Initially when making the plugin I thought about that and just figured it was best to keep it as flexible and simple as possible. After all, you can sill insert images/make links etc in the main content box. The only thing on that list you can't do is make a drop-down and check-box.

If it is desired to have different fields I'll see what I can do. I'm not sure if replacing the editor is going to be technically possible (though I have some ideas), but I'll see if I can find a way. What sort of fields would you use from that list?

I agree to keep the backend as easy as possible. For the GS template creator flexible options would allow much wider use cases. I try to make an example of field usage (with I18N Custom Fields plugin):


Beside the feature to create different input type fields, the possibility to give a discription text could be useful for the content editor in the backend and in special cases the default value could also help tremendously to keep it easy for for the backend user. I18N Custom Fields does show the input fields under "Page Options" (see above image) while Simple Input Tabs needs a page reload to change between "tabbed content". I would like to propose if the display of all the additional content fields is not possible just under the main edit box? If it is not "shared content" like described some post before, it would be important enough to show all the tabs/content in the page edit IMHO. Following the most simple way, this would cause less complexity (reloading or ajax tricks) and the user normally should understand: I can edit all this on this page...

I hope I did show what I wish and try to summarize:
- I18N Plugin (Multilanguage) compatibility
- Instead of tabs just show the additional content below the main edit box (or as an option?)
- allow to define like in I18N Custom Fields, maybe with shortcode like this: <?php insert_page_content("SecondContent","this is the label text",txt,"default content for the field",indexno); ?>

This would be perfect and help to setup very advanced template layouts (CSS text and image formating) + special "hidden" content like meta tags (SEO, etc.). Again I think this should be in the long term a core feature to allow easy backend user experience and very cool advanced web design together (for non PHP coders).
