New Plugin - CustomFields

[arthpix]

Hi everybody, this is my first post.

First, I have to thank Chris for this wonderfull CMS. I am totally amazed for it's simplicity and performance. I am preparing a test project in localhost and works like a charm.

Then comes the great Mike's job with this CustomFields Plugin wich comes soo handy.

Only one thing would be great, to add. A third type of tag: checkboxes.

Let's say we managed to make a news section and want the site owner to simply mark several predefined categories for the news he posts. Right now is not that simple, the owner could mispell those names as he writes them on a textarea.

In example

Code:

<item>
  <desc>newsCategories</desc>
  <label>Valid Categories</label>
  <type>checkbox</type>
  <option>General</option>
  <option>Technology</option>
  <option>Entertainment</option>
  </option>Sports</option>
  <option>........</option>
</item>

So site's owner just need to select one or more checkboxes to assign the page to them.

I'm not that good to php, but will try to figure out how to do that to help. But you, Mike, are far more skilled and maybe could have the time to add this feature?
