Magic Fields 1.3 was released
Magic Fields 1.3 is out, and come with a good number of new features and less bugs.
I’m going to speak a little about the new features.
New Features:
New type of Custom field called “Related Type”.
In Magic Fields 1.3 exists a new custom field type called “Related Type” with this type of field we can make relation between write panels. For example if we are working in our portfolio and we has a write panel called “clients” and a write panel called “services” we can now related some client with many posts “services”, this new field open a new field of ideas and possibilities.
Adding multimedia buttons to the multiline custom field.
Now is more easy add images and files in the multiline custom field, was added more buttons for doing this more easily.
Adding a new engine for make the validations.
this is the most exciting new feature of this release, was rewrote the “engine” for make validations in the custom fields, now Magic Fields use this jquery library for make the validations, with this in the next version will be add a new rules of validations for the custom fields!
Finish the support for the i18n.
Soon we will explain how translate Magic Fields to your language.
Removing obsolete Code.
One of the things to we personally enjoy is make Magic Fields more lighter, We continue removing and refactoring the code for make the footprint of Magic Fields more smaller. In this release was removed a repeated libraries of jquery.js and ui.jquery.js.
This project is made it in our free time and not has any company behind his development for that we are very grateful with the people to encourage us making donations for continue the development.

@alex
there is a couple of search plugins you can look at that will help you to search specific custom fields.
Search Unleashed is the best imho

It’s been great so far, happier with it than flutter, except for one thing…
I’m using edit-in-place and it adds a ” after the page’s title. E.g. About
It doesn’t have an effect in the front end as they’re always enclosed in h1 tags but it is a problem in the admin panel to see the titles with ”.
Also I would suggest that the function EIP_content and EIP_title just returned and not echoed the strings automatically, or even better provide both ooptions.
Thanks.

Seems like it corresponds to an issue with nicEdit, http://nicedit.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=486
Fixed it changing line 24 in RCCWP_EditnPlaceResponse to $post['post_title'] = strip_tags($field_value);

Is there any documentation of the “Related type”? For what I understand I can use it on my site to set up whiskies and distilleries and have a relation between them, right?
