Everything seems to be functioning fine. It just took me a bit to acclimate myself to this handy little plugin.
I personally dont see the need for field types, as I believe the custom fields extension serves a different purpose. Also, as you said, you can add images via the tool bar. You can also switch to html, if you need to add something special. Maybe if they were using one field for Youtube, etc. and always wanted a non wysiwyg field?
About the only thing I can really think of is maybe a shared block. For example, you have three fields: main, sidebar, footer. For each page the Main and Sidebar are unique, but the footer is the same for all, but can be edited within any page. Maybe a check box to mark it as shared, and that same box would show up in all pages. I dont know if I am explaining that clearly or not?
Regards
I agree. You can really do everything with the WYSIWYG editor. Having said that, I'm working on a compromise currently, for which I'm almost finished.
Shared content. Like a copyright? Or Logo / title, or something? I like your thinking.
It's not immediately obvious, I guess, but that functionality already exists. ;-)
Though... it's not as simple as adding a check box. I might be letting down the simple theme of this plugin! Haha.
You can do this currently if you have a page to edit the common tabs in. For example if you made a page and called it "shared" or choose an existing page maybe. Then in the templates you want the shared content to exist, put the tag:
Quote:<?php insert_page_content("shared->sometab"); ?>
Where "shared" is the name of the page you want to access, and "sometab" is the tabname on that page you want to display. It will place the content from that specific page and tab in the location on every page that uses the template (so long as the page continues to exist and remains the same name).
Oh and I've credited you by the name 'islander' for the translation. Is that ok?
