Spiffy Meta Box Creator

Description

This plugin lets you create meta boxes by creating and calling a function but without needing to reuse all of the same WordPress functions for doing so.

Arbitrary section

Here is an example meta box function:

< ?php

//Meta box for page settings
function pageSettings() {

//Name of the meta box (lowercase without spaces)
$name = 'page_settings';

//Enter the titles for each one of your boxes
$titles = array('Section Headline');

//This will run the titles through a function that converts them into lables for the form fields.
$boxes = makeTitles($name,$titles);

//Description of meta box
$desc = 'Page Settings';

//Show on page type:
$types = array('page');

//Pull in existing meta field value
$setHeadline = get_post_meta($_GET['post'],"_page_settings_section_headline",true);

$content = "Page Headline:”;
$content .= “”;

//Run the function
$config = array(
‘name’=>$name,
‘boxes’=>$boxes,
‘desc’=>$desc,
‘type’=>$type,
‘content’=>$content
);

//Create the object
newMetaBox($config);
}

//Run it
pageSettings();

?>
