Contexts

With Fieldmanager, you can add fields to different contexts. For example, you might want to add a new option in the user profiles, which you can do through the User Context.

Available Contexts:

Post Context
Adds a meta box to the new/edit post screen (for any post type), and saves data to post meta.
Term Context
Adds fields to the new and/or edit term screen, and saves data to term meta.
Submenu Context
Adds a new screen to the WordPress admin, and saves data to options.
User Context
Adds fields to the edit user (profile) screen, and saves data to user meta.
Quickedit Context
Adds fields to the Quickedit box in the post list screen, and saves data to post meta.

Grouping Fields

Fieldmanager lets you group one or more fields together to help with organizing content. You can have single-level groups, tabbed groups, and multi-level groups.

Repeating and Sorting Fields

Fields or Groups of fields can repeat and be sorted.

The limit key is used to determine how many times a field can repeat. Use 0 if you want to allow unlimited fields
The sortable key is used to make a field sortable. This might be useful in a case where you are building a slider or other content that needs to be moved around.

Example:

$fm = new Fieldmanager_Group( array(
			'name'           =&gt; 'repeatable_meta_fields',
			'limit'          =&gt; 0,
			'add_more_label' =&gt; 'Add another set of fields',
			'sortable'       =&gt; true,
			'collapsible'    =&gt; true,
			'label'          =&gt; 'Fields',
			'children'       =&gt; array(
				'text'         =&gt; new Fieldmanager_Textfield( 'Text Field' ),
				'media'        =&gt; new Fieldmanager_Media( 'Media File' ),
			)
		) );
$fm-&gt;add_meta_box( 'Field Group', 'demo-group' );

Repeatale, Sortable, and User-generated

You might want to have the option to create pages with different types of fields in different arrangements. The same post type might be configured for multiple images, a text field, and a button – or no images, a text field, and a form.

To accomplish these kinds of layout options, take a look at our Custom Blocks demo plugin:
