=== Magic Fields 2 Toolkit === Contributors: Magenta Cuda Donate link: Tags: shortcodes, templates, custom fields, post copier Requires at least: 3.6 Tested up to: 4.2 Stable tag: 1.1 License: GPLv2 or later License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html A toolkit for the Magic Fields 2 plugin for media oriented CMS web design by non programmers. == Description == This [toolkit](https://magicfields17.wordpress.com/magic-fields-2-toolkit-0-4-2/) transforms the [Magic Fields 2](https://wordpress.org/plugins/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](http://magicfields17.wordpress.com/magic-fields-2-toolkit-0-4-2/#shortcode). Using the [toolkit's content templates](http://magicfields17.wordpress.com/magic-fields-2-toolkit-0-4-2/#macros) 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](https://magicfields17.wordpress.com/magic-fields-2-toolkit-0-4-2/#alt_media) for generating HTML wrappers for these media elements. The current features are: = Support for coding HTML templates without the need for PHP programming = * [shortcode for showing Magic Fields 2 custom fields and taxonomies](http://magicfields17.wordpress.com/magic-fields-2-toolkit-0-4-2/#shortcode). In particular, the shortcodes makes it easy to display a table of custom field names and their values. * [post content templates for HTML and WordPress shortcodes](http://magicfields17.wordpress.com/magic-fields-2-toolkit-0-4-2/#macros) - these templates do not need PHP code. * (http://magicfields17.wordpress.com/magic-fields-2-toolkit-0-4-2/#gallery). = Additional custom fields = * [fields for WordPress's video and audio shortcodes](http://magicfields17.wordpress.com/magic-fields-2-toolkit-0-4-2/#alt_media). * An [enhanced image field](https://magicfields17.wordpress.com/magic-fields-2-toolkit-0-4-2/#alt_image) that supports a custom click URL and a mouseover popup. * [alternative related type field](http://magicfields17.wordpress.com/magic-fields-2-toolkit-0-4-2/#alt_related) which uses multiple selection checkboxes instead of a single selection dropdown. * [numeric field](http://magicfields17.wordpress.com/magic-fields-2-toolkit-0-4-2/#alt_numeric) with support for measurement units suffix and/or currency symbol prefix. * [URL field](http://magicfields17.wordpress.com/magic-fields-2-toolkit-0-4-2/#alt_url) contains the data for a HTML <a> element. * [pseudo field for generating a table of Magic Field names and values](http://magicfields17.wordpress.com/magic-fields-2-toolkit-0-4-2/#alt_table). * field for WordPress's embed shortcode. * alternative textbox field that allows you to select previously entered data. * alternative dropdown field that allows you to enter new options directly into the dropdown. = Search widget = * [finds posts by Magic Fields 2 field values.](http://magicfields17.wordpress.com/magic-fields-2-search-0-4-1/) = Miscellaneous enhancements to Magic Fields 2 = * [Create a copy of a Magic Fields 2 custom post](http://magicfields17.wordpress.com/magic-fields-2-toolkit-0-4-2/#copy) 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.
