This plugin is no longer being actively developed. This means no new features will be added to this plugin.
Moreover, I no longer use this plugin and will not know of a problem unless a user reports it.
However, I remain absolutely committed to maintaining the existing feature set of this plugin and if a problem is reported I will do my very best to fix it.
You can report problems using the support page of this plugin.
This
toolkit transforms the
Magic Fields 2 plugin into something that can be used by a non programmer to do media oriented CMS web design.
With this toolkit you can design your page content using only HTML, CSS and the
toolkit's shortcodes.
Using the
toolkit's content templates you can define a reusable template for page contents which can be used to create multiple pages using the page's custom fields to instantiate the template.
This toolkit also simplifies the use of media (images, audio, video and embeds) by providing
configurable shortcodes for generating responsive HTML wrappers for these media elements.
The current features are:
Support for coding HTML templates without the need for PHP programming
Additional custom fields
Search widget
Miscellaneous enhancements to Magic Fields 2
- Create a copy of a Magic Fields 2 custom post copying all of the Magic Fields' custom fields, groups and taxonomies.
- Identify and delete unreferenced files in folder files_mf.
- Provides an alternative get_audio function that outputs HTML5 audio elements for iPad and iPhone browsers.
- Provides some Magic Fields 2 utility functions for PHP programmers.
Please visit the Toolkit's online documentation for more details.
This plugin works with Magic Fields 2.3 and requires at least PHP 5.4.
