Magic Fields 1.3 was released

Hi, I gave tried magic fields for the first time yesterday on 1.2 and it’s very impressive, however today I tried 1.3 and there appears to be a bug with wordpress 2.8.6.
Upon creating a write panel for a page either single or multiple any data entered into that panel is not saved, this is only with the pages though as the post section works fine.

All the best

Rob

guys, i am so excited about this project. you really have breathed new life into the best wordpress plugin ever. thanks so much for the hard work!

hey guys, great news, espacially the related fields.
one question, when i hide the standard post panel, i can no longer reach the “categories” section because it’s part of the post box in the navigation. any idea how to solve this? cheers and thanx!

have some problems with the date field. after selecting a date once, i don’t know how to delete it again. any idea?
and i miss german date format which is like 24.12.2010 (day.month.year) i can do it by myself with php but it would be nice to just select it in the future.

I noticed that when I upload images they go to the media library (item count changes) but I can’t browse the media by using post/page insert media button.

Is there a solution?

i wanted to add magicfields to several blogs, also using the event calendar plugin. unfortunetely it seems to be not working together. on the manage article page it says: “Parameter 1 to ec3_filter_posts_where() expected to be a reference …”

I can’t seem to get this plugin to work with WordPress MU 2.8.6. I try to create a write panel, but when it forwards me to the next page, the write panel is empty. If I go back to the main plugin page, there are no custom write panels. Here’s a video showing the bug. I know it’s New Years Eve, but is there anyone who has seen this bug and fixed it?

Hi guys, just curious whats the situation with Magic Fields and the current wordpress MU?

Happy New Year!

heya
i have a feature request:
if possible, could you create an option to have a layer of security for files uploaded through magic fields.

this could probably be as easy as having a checkbox next to the upload button, which if ticked sends the file to a separate folder. then users could add a level of security to that folder.

what do you think?

thanks!

Hi Guys i’m having some strange issues with with magic fields and wp 2.9.1

tried installing 1.3 onto my wordpress-mu 2.8.5 site just now.

I keep getting error:
Magic Fields is not ready yet. must create the following folders (and must chmod 777):
wp-content/plugins/magic-fields/blogs.dir/5/files_mf/phpthumbcache/
wp-content/plugins/magic-fields/blogs.dir/5/files_mf/

I can say without any doubt that I have set the blogs.dir to -R 777
drwxrwxrwx 2 httpd httpd 4096 Jan 11 16:42 phpthumbcache
drwxrwxrwx 3 httpd httpd 4096 Jan 11 16:42 files_mf

No matter what I tried I could not get magic-fields to create those folders, so I did it manually and then did the chmod to 777 on both directories.

I think something is wrong here, but not sure what to try next.

well I created the directories as specified, and the error went away. However the plugin does nothing. When I go in to create a new panel, it does not give me a type of input box, nor does it save the panel.

Honestly as it is, magicfields does not seem to work at all for me in wpmu.
(I am willing to send you login info if you want to see the issues)

Is there a fix for the multiline text box line breaks being removed when using this custom field? I have the option selected to hide the multiline formatting buttons and just want a basic text box but the text doesn’t format correctly…it just keeps running into my right sidebar widgets.

Brandon,

Can you give a little more explanation on where that snippet should be entered…I’m assuming it goes near line 404 in get-custom.php…please help…thanks!

Trey

Brandon,

I implemented the code as you suggested but it still does not format correctly(it does display, so at least I know the code works)…same issue…problem with my theme?

Hi there,

I’ve installed MagicFields in my WordPress and I’m giving it a go. Created what I think to be a group and called it book. Under book there are several fields. With this configuration I created a new post book. On my theme I added inside a loop this code:

$elementos = get_group (“book”);
foreach($elementos as $elemento){
echo pr($elemento);
print_r($elemento);
}

Unfortunately it gives me a php error:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in …/wp-content/themes/default/single.php on line 34

I can call all fields independently and use other methods that don’t give me error. This one seems to have a problem.

Any ideas?
Regards

whats coming up for magicfields?

How do i use related field type?

I used and it throws out the post or page ID number.

How can I make that a link or simply display the related post content?

I keep getting an Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() what am I doing wrong

this is my code
$songs = getFieldOrder(’source_images’);
foreach($songs as $song){
// Get the first parameter is the name of the field, the second is the index of the group when this
// Field is not duplicated placed in a group 1, the third parameter is the index of the field
echo “”;
}
?>

and this is the website.

@tyler – Since foreach only works on arrays, you should test if $songs is actually an array with items in it. Try this:

I am a new user and a little confused…

- What I WANT to do is add a second textbox to all of my Pages called “Intro”. The editor will type most of the page content in the main textbox, and type the intro text into a second textbox.

- With Magic Fields, I was able to create a “Write Panel” with a multiline textbox which I labeled “Intro”. When I did this, a new section appeared in the left column of the admin panel called “Intro”.

- I clicked on the new “Intro” section, and what I see is exactly what I want… two textfields (one for most of page content + second one for intro text). This is what I want!

- But then I went to edit one of my existing pages, and I do not see the second textbox. I want the second textbox to show up on all my pages – NOT be a separate option in the left menu.

I’m obviously doing something wrong – can someone please help me understand what I need to do to have the second textbox appear when I edit my pages?

Thank you very much for you help!

Hi, I am having some serious problems with the image uploader. No matter what I do, none of the images are resized or cropped by the system – they appear in posts at full size. The plugin seems to be ignoring the Magic Fields width and height settings as well as the zoom-crop option “zc=c”. Also, every time I upload an image, it says “Successful Upload” in the admin panel, but instead of an image preview, it shows a bunch of red error text:

I have even tried a fresh wordpress 2.9 install, but it didn’t work. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? I’d really appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Sergio.
