Define metabox name for each field and new Template field type

[guilhermevrs]

Hi,

I extended your plugin using the available hooks and created the following items:

1- Possibility to set the name of the metabox you want your field to show up
2- New Template Field Type, where you can set a template filename and it will show in post editor (with this, you can place messages, custom reports and whatever you want)

My question is if those new items are of your interest and, if it is, how can I send those changes to you incorporate to the plugin?

Cheers

@guilhermevrs We are working on field groups for Pods 3.0, which I think is what you are describing in your item #1. See issues #773 and #799 The backend UI for this is, for the most part, working in the 3.x. I would encourage you to test that out to see what the changes look like. That branch is not done yet but the basics of this change are there.

I'm not sure I understand your second idea, but it sounds intresting. Are your refering to a template file in the current theme or a Pods Template?

#1 thanks I will take a look on that.

#2 A template from the current theme but it wouldn't be hard to extend and add an option to include a pod template

Re idea 2- Like the list of available page templates in the post editor for Pages?

[guilhermevrs]

Yes! Exactly

I like the template editor idea, though that means we get into the file editing business, which means we'll have to work out all the potential permissions issues.
