Major new version of the powerful GD Custom Posts And Taxonomies Tools plugin is here. All most requested features are included: custom meta boxes and import/export of settings. Also, includes new interface, advanced capabilities manager, new enhanced features and more.
Plugin is compatible with WordPress 3.0 and newer, including upcoming WordPress 3.2. Still, as with all major versions, please recheck all plugin settings, post types and taxonomies definitions to make sure that all features are set properly.
New Interface
Plugin uses new, easy to use, interface similar to one used by xScape Theme Framework. Many more information is added, help for options using tooltips, improved validation.
Custom Meta Boxes
You can add as many meta boxes as you want, each one with any number of custom fields, and each one can be attached to one or more post types. Custom fields are defined based on type: number, date field, image, select, html, text and more are to come yet. Also, shortcode is added for easier integration into the post, and post edit meta box has additional options to help with use of the meta box.
Custom Capabilities
One of the advanced features is for plugin to create and add custom capabilities for post types and taxonomies, if you want to use non-standard capabilities that are not the same as for default ‘post’ post type. This is not something you will need (or have to) use in most cases, but its very important to have simple way to add special capabilities to default or extra roles for more complex data management.
And More
There are many more minor changes, and enhanced features, improvements and fixes. One very important background feature that you will see only as checkbox setting is cache. If you have many post types and taxonomies, plugin can take some time to generate function based on settings. But now, plugin has cache support that will store generated function into database for fast deployment. When you change post type or taxonomy, cached value is regenerated.
All data: settings, definitions, meta boxes can be exported into file, and than imported from file. With this you can transfer everything from one website to another, quick and easy.
