oik-fields – requirements and implementation overview

This video was created for showing at the Post Meta project weekly IRC meeting at #wordpress-core-plugins.

Outline of video

In the video Herb Miller:
  • briefly describes the requirements behind the oik-fields approach to handling post meta data
  • shows examples of each field type
  • including sample extensions to the base set: mshot, star rating and userref
  • shows examples of field display using [bw_fields]
  • shows examples of fields being used in other shortcodes: [bw_pages], [bw_new]
  • explains how the requirements are implemented using APIs from oik-plugins
  • Shows API links from which to start exploring the oik-fields solution
  • Lists the unique features of the oik solution
  • Admits to limitations; features not yet implemented… which you will find in other solutions
  • Mentions a couple of proposed enhancements.

Post production notes

  • Original blog post: Requirements for Post Meta plugins
  • The post type used for the examples was called “oik-fields”.
  • This CPT name should not be confused with the plugin name.
  • The fields were created using the oik-types plugin.
  • Each field name used is prefixed with _of_.
  • I forgot to mention the action hooks which allow plugins to extend the types.
    • oik_pre_form_field – action
    • oik_pre_theme_field – action
