Hi,

Is there a way to assign posts created with the classic WP Post > Add with a Magic field in order to have its custom fields.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

the $fieldName is the name of you field, when create de field put the name, this function generate the thumbs with parameters of field (height, width and custom)

Hi Hunk – many thanks for that link, is in Spanish I think so am just trying to translate.

Will this “auto” grab a thumbnail? or does it need a custom field specified in the post? as not quite sure what to put for $fieldName

Hi there – great work on the plugin.

Wondering if you can help, I am trying to display a thumbnail on my home page.
For each post I am uploadig one image through magic fields, thus the image is saved here: /wp-content/files_mf/

Before I was using a plugin called “get_the_image” to grab thumbnails from a post but it doesn’t seem to be able to find the magicfield images.

I am using WP 2.9.2 so have also tried to the standard post thumbnail calls but Im getting nothing to display on my homepage.

Do you know how to grab a thumbnail and display from a magic fields upload?

It’s very important that Magic Fields fixes the bug whereby you click the “add new”-button in the manage console of a write panel and it defaults to creating something completely different from the active write panel.

Hi Steven.

Yes one of our main concerns with this plugins is improve the performance.

The get function is one of our more bigger improvements in magic fields this function was completely rewrote, and improved his performance in a 75%

And was created a new functions for dealing with duplicate groups and fields (get_field_duplicated,get_group) how this funcitons are exclusive for duplicate fields and groups we avoid make multiple calls to the get function.

Talking about wp-admin, in the next release MF will have a new engine for save the custom fields with this change is the first step for improve the performance in the admin

Have there been any speed improvements or optimizations since you started on the project? I am mainly concerned with two things:

1. wp-admin: management panels large data sets (flutter is known to bog)
2. get() function, however I’m not sure you can do much here. A query is a query.

Yeah we all are very disappointed for this. unfortunately we need pay our debts and Magic Fields don’t receive enough donations for do it.

So, we can’t guarantee a date release because we don’t know how much charge of work we will have in the next months.

The good news is to we already finish all the things to we want for this new version and the development version is ready for enter in a test phase, if do you want help us to release magic fields 1.4 a soon as possible help us testing it

We expected release a beta version this week for testing but not is neccesary to you wait for it, you can start downloading the development version and start testing it
