Magic Fields 1.3-beta was released
In the last release we had a very short time for make testing and this was our own fault.
As results of this we had to create a new quickly release (the version 1.2.1) with a critical fix and after of this we found another serious bug. For that now will be separate for more time each release for has a enough time for make testing.
So thinking on this now we will release the version 1.3-beta. if you want to help us to testing this release you can download it here and if you found a bug or issue feel free to leave a comment or open a message in the support group. indicating in the title of the message to this is a bug related with the 1.3-beta version
New features to maybe you want to know for test this beta:
- New field type: Related Type (thanks to Wouter de Winter for this)
- Adding a new engine for make the validations be use this plugin with this in future releases will be added a new rules of validations (for now only can be used the “required – not can be empty” rule)
- Fix in the Image custom field
- Now when a group no has custom fields this group is not appear in the post/page (with this “magic fields custom fields” group can be hide)
- bug fixed when a metabox is dragged and dropped and this metabox has a multiline custom field (before when the box was dragged the content of the multiline field disappear)

Is there a way to add posts that are already created to a panel? Or do I need to delete all my 500 blogposts and add them again to the new custom panels?

Hey Alexander.
In the options of magic fields exists a option called “editing prompt” and if you activate this option when you edit a post you can choice a write panel for make a relationship between the post and the write panel
The bad thing is to you will need edit all the posts and making the relations one by one…
Someone else had your same trouble and the discussion about what he did for resolve it you can found it here:

I hope this can help
David.
