I’m having trouble with duplicate content. I created a write group with several fields and added those to my page as instructed with the get function. However, what displays is the default wp custom fields (with the key as opposed to the label) and below that is the Magic Fields custom fields (with no label).

Here is a sample post showing the problem:

and here is the code I entered:

Any help would be appreciated as I am pulling my hair out and already late on delivery of this site to the client.

Hi Mike H.

you can use get_panel_name() function

//code in my template
$name = get_panel_name();
if($name == “news”) include_once(‘news_template’);
elseif($name == “articles”) include_once(‘articles_template’);
else include_once(‘default_template’);

Hi, I just tried installing, it prompted me to create the files_mf folders, which i did, then complained that it couldnt creat a css file in the file_mf folder (note that there is no plural in the second prompt). I’ll take a look at the code and see if i can figure out which directory is correct, unless i hear from you first! thanks.. oh, also when installing the plugin it prompts you to create phpthumbcache, but in your installation instructions you say to create phpthumb/cache, again can probably track it down but would be nice to have the warning or directions consistent. thanks!

Hey, I think I figured it out!

It looks like “Magic Fields” is a replacement for the default “Add New” link. What I did was check the “Condense Menu” option in Settings. Then I used the “Adminimize” plugin to remove the default “Add New” link.

Now when the editor creates a page, they click on my Custom Panel (then proceed like they did with “Add New”).

Does that sound correct?

Got the delete link, sorry to bother you.
But please make that link under Custom Write Panel actions heading in your next versions.

Great plugin.
Well i need to ask a lame question, please tell me how to delete the custom panel created via Magic Field.
I have looked at all the options but delete action is not available.
Do i have to edit the core files or is there some method call for deleting a custom panel.

I am using multiple post types which ideally will be displayed on the same listings page, these will be displayed differently so i need a way to be able to tell what type of post it is in the loop so i can use different markup. How can i see what write panel the post was created with? Cheers in advance.
