The Future of More Fields & WordPress 3.0

It looks like the devel­op­ers who cre­ated More Fields have been hard at work in order to accom­mo­date the upcom­ing release of Word­Press 3.0. They’ve updated to more Fields Plu­gin to 1.5, adding some much needed bug fixes. Beyond that they have branched the More Fields project into a series of “More” CMS plugins.

More Fields 2.0

The high­light of this is the abil­ity to add addi­tional Post types besides the built in Posts and Pages. Could this bring More Fields close to the realm of Pods?

More Types 1.0

This splits off the abil­ity to cre­ate post types from More Fields since it’s built into the core of Word­Press 3.0.

More Tax­onomies 1.0

This allows you to cre­ate cus­tom tax­onomies spe­cific to your post types cre­ated with More Types. Very cool indeed.

More Roles 1.0

With More Roles you’ll be able to cus­tomized the 5 default user roles built into Word­Press, and even add new ones. As best put by the devel­op­ment team: You could for instance cre­ate a new role for a spe­cific depart­ment in your orga­ni­za­tion and allow only them to post items in a spe­cific post type.

    A good thing about sep­a­rat­ing the plu­g­ins is that we (hope­fully) won’t have the js prob­lems that plagued the 1.x branch of More Fields.

    And thanks for the write up.

    Great news kalstrom,

    Am I cor­rect in assum­ing that Fields 2.0 will be sim­i­lar to Pods; allow­ing you to cre­ate post types that are entirely inde­pen­dent from Pages and Posts?

    Thanks for the amaz­ing plu­gin, keep up the great work!
