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.

In case you’d like to see a fairly intensive use of your plugin I completed a site for a client that relied heavily on Magic Fields to make each element on the front page of the magazine a separate field on the admin side. Used it for the articles but not as heavily.

I’ve created a write panel with a file field. When I try to create a new page using that panel I get an “authentication failed” message where the upload field should go. Any help appreciated.
