Implementation: Post editor
sc0ttkclark opened this issue · 7 comments
- Section - Should call add_meta_box
- Field - Should call register_meta
- Display fields for section inside of meta box
- Save handling in editor
- Pick up field saves from
wp_insert_post( $post_data )just like terms allows, and process through Fields API (maybe this can apply to the item above) - Register core fields
Future ability to add fields to display in:
- edit_form_after_title
- post_submitbox_misc_actions
@tomharrigan feel free to update the task list on this one
Will it be possible to use other locations in the Edit Post page besides a metabox? e.g. edit_form_after_title, post_submitbox_misc_actions?
That's the plan, but initially just covering meta boxes for the first pass.
Was about to comment to the same effect - I really want us to break out of thinking of metaboxes as THE UI paradigm for a form section, plus those other hooks for fields are super useful and get used frequently.

Totally on the same page with you here :)
@Idealien has joined the effort, he was working on an example Book CPT and registering fields for it.

It still needs some work and we’ll want to work out meta box handling etc in our main post editor implementation — this should mainly handle registering the post type / fields for example purposes, maybe some example callbacks / hooks
