oik-fields – Field Types

The oik-fields plugin provides APIs for displaying and accepting input for 11 different field types:

• checkbox field type
• currency field type
• date field type
• email field type
• noderef field type
• numeric field type
• select field type
• text field type
• textarea field type
• URL field type
• Virtual field type

Fields meta box

Fields are displayed in forms. In response to the add_meta_boxes action, the “Fields” meta box is defined for each object type associated to one or more fields.

• bw_effort_box() – Create fields in the meta box to accept data for the fields
• bw_effort_meta_boxes() – Create "Fields" meta box for each field associated with each object type in the mapping

When the CPT is saved then the Fields meta data is saved in response to the save_post action

• bw_effort_save_postdata() – Saves the custom fields for this post when called for the ‘save_post’ action

Theming output

Fields are displayed ( themed ) using APIs which are dynamically created from the field name, and field type.

• bw_theme_field() – Theme a custom field

Form created by [bw_new]

Forms for inputting fields on the front-end can also be created automatically. Fields are displayed for input in forms using APIs which are created from the field name and field type and/or as defined by the extending plugin.

• bw_form_field() – Display a field in a form for the user to enter/choose a value
• bw_new() – Implement [bw_new] shortcode to allow the creation of a new post through a simple form

Elsewhere

Fields should also be displayable as custom columns on admin pages, formatted for inclusion in emails and other output types which may or may not be enhanced with styling and/or jQuery.
