Simple Fields – Powerful Custom Fields Plugin for WordPress

Simple Fields for WordPress let you add groups of fields to your edit posts page. It’s a more advanced and better alternative to the built in custom fields in WordPress.

Development version

If you want to try out the latest development version you can find the development version of Simple Fields  at GitHub. There you can also submit bug reports and feature requests.

Simple Fields Features

  • For a quick intro please check out my introductory blogpost ”Simple Fields is WordPress Custom Fields on Steroids”.
  • Add textboxes, text areas, checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns, and file browser to the post admin area
  • Much easier for the user than regular custom fields
  • Group fields together into logical groups. For example combine File + Name + Description into a an Attachments-group.
  • Use ”repeatable” field groups to add many any amount of field groups to a single post – great for images or attachments!
  • Use drag and drop to change order of added repeatable groups
  • Different post types can use different field groups – actually you can even use different field groups even for same post type
  • Nice GUI that looks like the rest of WordPress

    Hi, I just tried your plugin and I must say it’s one of the best Custom Metaboxes plugin ever – and I tried them all: magic fields, more fields, custom field templates, supple forms, verve metaboxes…

    The only problem i had was a php error that prevented the plugin from activating. The error was at line 64 on functions-admin.php. So I just deleted lines 64 to 71.

    Now everything seems to work.

    On the other hand, I think you put some added complexity on the administration side of the custom fields with all that Post-connectors and post type defaults stuff.
    I really don’t think they are needed.

    Just take a look on Verve Metaboxes and see how it handles this more easily.

    OBS: You should delete that .psd file from the zip.

    One extra feature you could add to the plugin is to also allow duplicated fields, just like magic fields does.

    Thanks for this amazing plugin!

      Hey, and thanks for the comment!

      It’s very good to hear that you like it. Just like you, I’ve tried all (?) other field plugins and didn’t find any that I liked. So I wrote one myself 🙂

      I know that the post connector and stuff is a bit complicated, but it also brings a lot of flexibility. But this plugin is still beta and under heavy development, so things may change. I will however take a look at Verve Metaboxes and…we’ll see what happens!

    Hi,

    Great plugin! This was exactly what I was looking for to help a non-profit (NGO) add extra details about their projects to a sidebar area of their WordPress blog. And the GUI is nice too.

    1 question/idea though: It would be great to have a Widget to pull these custom fields and place them in sidebar.

    Anything like that in the works? Or should I grab a random custom fields widget from the WordPress/Plugins site?

    Cheers!

      Thanks for the comment!

      The idea of an widget is pretty good and I’ll see what I can do about that. Until then you should probably see if there’s any existing plugin that can do that work for you.

    This should facilitate serializations of posts other than by date/time. I write content somewhat at random that has to be inserted among posts already published in a category and one of several subcategories. How could I create a field named ”serialization” and assign a numeric value that places a post properly among posts in any cat/sub-cat sequence? Any suggestions?

      I’m sorry, but I’m not sure that I understand your problem. Could you explain it a bit more?

  6. Profilbild för stumbler

    Although I am open to your CMS tree page view that makes content ordering easy, (it is installed – works well!!), I wanted to use posts that could be sequenced (or serialized) in a similar manner, perhaps by using custom fields. This would help (I believe) to make better use of the 2010 theme’s new navbar.
    For posts created in random order that need to be sequences much like chapters in a novel or textbook, I could typically assign each post a multiple value of five (5,10,15,20 etc). I could then insert ’after-thought’ posts like (5,7,10,11,13,15, 20,21 etc.) so that a numeric sort would yield the desired published sequence.

    Does this help? And many thanks for responding.

    Ok, I think I know what you are looking for now. There is currently no way to automate this with Simple Fields – if that’s what you’re looking for.
    But you could, as you yourself write, use a custom field and enter a number there and then sort the pages by that number.
    I’ve checked the documentationen and there is an option to sort by a custom field:

    Hi there!

    Love this plugin, it’s just what I needed. One problem though – I’ve installed it on a clean install of WP3, and when I add a field of type ”File”, the file browser doesn’t work. It just shows a search box, and a filter button, and none of it does anything. Any ideas why that might be?

    Thank you!

        Oh thanks!

        One other thing. I want to use query_posts() to list posts that have a certain value set in a custom field created with Simple Fields. I know the normal way is to use meta_key & meta_value, but how can I use those with fields created by this plugin?

        1. Profilbild för Pär
          Pär

          Good question! Simple Fields does store its values as regular (although hidden) custom fields, so they should work fine with meta_key/meta_value. The problem is however to get the name of each field, since they are hidden and not shown anywhere. Hm.. Have to think about this and add a new function or something for this. Hang on!

            Ok, I’ve submitted a new version now. In this new version, when editing a post you now have a link called ”Show custom field keys”.

    Hello. You have created a couple of excellent plugins and I commend you for their intuitive interfaces. I’m having a few issues however that seem to be bugs.

    #1 – In the CMS Tree Page View Plugin, reordering items seems to be pretty much broken. When I look at the Post Order of them, they all end up being like the same number and thus don’t sort correctly. It seems the logic for determining how to set post orders may be faulty.

    #2 – With Simple Fields, Inherit from Parent doesn’t seem to be functional at all. I definitely have a parent item with field group set and a direct child with Inherit from Parent set and the field group does not appear in the child.

    I’m using WP 3.0 that was upgraded from 3.0 RC 2.

      Thank you! Very happy to hear that you like the interfaces. I’ve spent pretty much time working on them 🙂

      I just tested reordering posts on my local wordpress installation and it seems to work. Does it never work for you, or just sometimes? Also, before reordering the pages, do they all have the same order number then?

  17. Profilbild för Brandon

    I just did a clean install of 3.0 release and confirmed that there’s something wrong with the plugin itself which is causing Inherit from Parent to not work at all.

  18. Profilbild för Brandon

    I debugged the Inheritance problem. Line 392 of functions_post.php is:

    simple_fields_get_selected_connector_for_post($parent_post);

    and should

    $connector_to_use = simple_fields_get_selected_connector_for_post($parent_post);

    1. Profilbild för Brandon

      A useful feature would be the ability to apply a field connector to all the children of a page. As it is now, I can set a parent page to a connector and set all the children to inherit, but I don’t actually want the fields to be used on the parent.

      For example, I’m using page structure as the navigational structure on a site I’m building. In the product catalog I have different categories of products, each with their own specific connectors. So say I have:

      Product Category
      Product 1
      Product 2
      Product 3

      I apply the connector to Product Category so it inherits to all the children, but the Product Category page itself doesn’t need to custom fields.

      I would imagine this situation happens most of the time when you’re using inheritance, as the container for children usually doesn’t share attributes with the children.

          In regards to the bug with ordering in CMS Tree Page View, all the pages started with 0 as their order. After reordering about 10 pages a number of times they all ended up with orders of like 22-24. Most were 23. It was pretty weird, I’ll take a look and see if I can get some more specifics for debugging it. I just didn’t have time to get into it and I manually ordered them.

    Hi, Awesome plugin. Simple to use but can be used to achieve some complex results.

    1 Problem I am having is finding the right meta_value for query_posts.

    I would like to show posts from only a specific post type, with a specific meta_key and meta_value eg

    Getting the meta_key is nice and easy(thanks to your ”Show custom field keys” feature) I can’t seem to get the right meta_value though. I have tried with numerous values and am entering the value exactly as it is echoed on the page, but when I do this no posts are shown. I assume then that the meta_value thats echoed is not actually the same as the meta_value stored in database.

        It’s actually meant to be like that. Since I don’t know what the developer wants to do with a file (show it? print the filename? output the dimensions?) the plugin only returns the file ID, and then you can use WordPress own functions to fetch more info about the file.

        Useful functions include:

        http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post

    Thank you for the plugin! Knowing it exists makes the prospect of using WP3 as a CMS much more attractive. I seem to be having a few minor problems though:

    1. With file uploads I click ’select’ and all I am shown is the media library, without the ’from Computer’ or ’From URL’ tabs. I found this to be the case in both Safari and Firefox.

    2. I’m probably a little out of my depth here, but can you tell me which file/template I should pasting the simple_fields_get_post_value script (method one) into? single.php only seems to display the custom fields when the post itself is selected – when I try to display a page of custom posts the field values are nowhere to be seen. Also, whereabout in the file I should be pasting the script? I’ve hit a brick wall with the wordpress.org docs.

    I should note that I am using Simple Fields in conjunction with the Custom Post Type UI plugin.

    Have you thought about adding the ability for a blogger to add additional instances of a field on the fly?
    For example, I have Products with a description and an image and 1 example link, but an additional product might require 2 images, and 1 description and 3 example links.

    I am looking around to see if anyone has created this for their custom fields add_meta_box yet.

      Maybe.. Simple fields have something called ”Repeatable fields” that sounds like what you’re after. In your example you could create the fields ”images”, ”descriptions” and ”links” and make them repeatable. Then you can add as many images, descriptions and links as you want.
      Is that what/how you mean?

    This really is a great plugin, and it’s solving several problems I’d had with other metafield plugins, specifically as they bind to Custom Types and one-off Pages. So, thanks!

    Unfortunately, the only thing holding me back from using it on a few projects now is the File Field/Upload problem that others have reported, too. I’ve tested it in Mac/FF, Mac/Saf, Mac/Chrome, PC/IE, and PC/FF, and I can’t get it to work in anything. It just keeps bringing up the faulty quasi-Media-Upload box, with broken tools. Do you have an update on when you think this will be fixed in the plugin? I’d love to use it, and recommend it!

    Yes, the file field/upload function is definetly broken.

    I wonder why did You release the plugin with this important part not working?

      The file browser works fine for me, but yes there have been some problems for some users with the file browser. If you have information that can help me to find the reason for this, please let me know.

      You can not upload files yet, this is a functionally that I will try to add later on.

      The plugin is still very useful and I did release it as a beta because it is a very useful plugin with a great GUI and with functions that I have not seen anywhere else yet.

      Does this answer your question?

        This is a really great plugin. It allows you to do many things that should be in the WP core to start with.

        But it’s currently broken in my installation of WordPress 3.0.1 & Simple Fields 0.2.9.

        The problem is that you cannot select a file for a file input field. Everything works fine until you click the ”select file” link, which causes a javascript error. This will broke the ”select” button on the next screen.

        Firefox 3.6.2 says:

        Error: jQuery is not defined
        Source file: http://fungimaa.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/simple-fields/scripts.js
        Line: 430

        }(jQuery)); // This is the line

        Internet Explorer 8 says:

        ’jQuery’ is not defined – scripts.js, line 2 char 1

        I hope this helps! 🙂

    Hi, This is a great, useful plugin. Thank you!

    I found a bug today:

    I created a repeatable field group with several checkboxes (one for each day of the week).

    In my post I added a couple of this groups and in each one I checked a different checkbox (for example, monday in the first froup and friday on the second). Then when I saved the post, both checkboxes (monday and friday) appeared checked only in the first group.

    However if I check the same box in both groups, they are saved ok.

    I’m using wp 3.01

    1. Profilbild för Pär

      Thanks for the bug report. I’ll see if I can reproduce this and if I can I will try to fix this as soon as possible.

      1. Profilbild för Mantish

        Hi, I fixed it!

        The problem has to do with checkboxes, which aren’t sent as post variable if they are not checked.
        So let’s say a checkbox is repeated, but only the second one is checked. However the save function would save it as the first one, as it isn’t looking into the numInSet from the $_POST; instead it is making the numInSet from the number of times a variable is sent.

        Here’s the fix: lines 173-186 in functions_post.php

        //$num_in_set = 0;
        foreach ($one_field_values as $num_in_set => $one_field_value) {

        $custom_field_key = ”_simple_fields_fieldGroupID_{$one_field_group_id}_fieldID_{$one_field_id}_numInSet_{$num_in_set}”;
        $custom_field_value = $one_field_value;

        if ($do_wpautop) {
        $custom_field_value = wpautop($custom_field_value);
        #var_dump($custom_field_value);#exit;
        }

        update_post_meta($post_id, $custom_field_key, $custom_field_value);

        //$num_in_set++;

    Hey, wonderful plugin! Any chance to get repeatable fields inside a group in addition to a repeatable group? And any chance that the actual field names get any reference to the label used? Would be good in case someone ever wants to access them without the plugin.

    1. Profilbild för Pär
      Pär

      Hi, thanks!

      Repeatable fields would be cool, I agree. It’s on my stuff-to-hopefully-do-list.

      I don’t think I will store the fields with the same name as the label. I rather preferer it like this, so you can change the name of a field and so on, without it affecting the ”internals” of the plugin. But I am thinking of a way to access the fields by name instead of id. So stay tuned!

      1. Profilbild för Tobias

        Thanks Pär,

        I most definitely will stay tuned. Your plugin is the best thing I’ve seen so far and a *HUGE* UI progress for WP as a whole! That there is no custom field input UI so far in WP is among the things I really don’t understand about the developer preferences. There really should be a common custom field naming standard accessible to everyone.

        One thing I noted when playing around with the plugin – field groups I delete in the simple fields editor are still available on the edit screen. Is that intentional? Is there any way to delete them entirely?

        Playing around, I also noted that it would be great to be able to include already created custom variables and assign them to field groups. I’m in the process of importing old content with *tons* of custom fields from a custom CMS into WP/Buddypress and right now, I’ll have to created the entire field group before writing the import script so I can then import the data into custom fields with the keys assigned by custom fields. That’s the background of my question about the field names/labels.

        Again – thanks for writing this amazing plugin!

    Oh, and – I don’t want to appear greedy… but a date-field with date-picker would be fantastic!

    1. Profilbild för Pär
      Pär

      Agreed!

      1. Profilbild för Tobias

        Hey Pär,

        I gave it a try, and realized that setting up new field types isn’t magic – ie, for a simple one like a date field it’s only a couple of lines of code. One line in the option-group for setting the post types up and a couple of lines for the new condition in the display function. I slightly modified the text field.

        What I can’t seem to get working correctly is the jQuery datepicker… whatever I do it doesn’t want to work with the $ even though the $ is fine for all the libraries you included. This is the code I added to the script.js-file.

        .datepicker is the class name of the modified text-field for the ”date”-field type.

        $(”.datepicker”).live(”click”, function() { $(this).datepicker({showOn:’focus’}).focus();
        });

        as per

        http://www.vancelucas.com/blog/jquery-ui-datepicker-with-ajax-and-livequery/

        Doesn’t work.

        Any idea?

          Super-late reply, but try with jQuery instead of $.

  39. Profilbild för Tobias

    Pär,

    I think I figured out the problem I had with the template functions.

    Within your walker/retrieval function there’s a part that looks for how often the fieldgroup has been added in addition to the first instance, starting with 0 –

    >>>

    $num_added_field_groups = 0;
    while (get_post_meta($post_id, ”_simple_fields_fieldGroupID_{$one_field_group[”id”]}_fieldID_added_numInSet_{$num_added_field_groups}”, true)) {
    $num_added_field_groups++;
    }

    <<>>

    for ($num_in_set = 0; $num_in_set < $num_added_field_groups; $num_in_set++)

    <<<

    I changed the operator in the for-loop from < to <= in order to make it work for me (single field group). And now it does work.

  40. Profilbild för Tobias

    And somehow my explanations were swallowed by the formatting…

    Basically, with both num_in_fields and added_field_groups being 0 the for loop will never execute, and that’s the case if only one field group is added to a post.

  41. Profilbild för Tobias

    Oh, it would also be really cool to be able to save field groups as templates and only have to modify them for reuse instead of having to set the modified ones up completely.

    Hi Pär,

    Great plugin, does 90% of what I’m after but a quick little question.

    I am using your plugin to display an image in a particular place in one of my templates (the home page in this example) so your File Upload is just what I am after. However, when I use it, the image I choose is then ’attached’ to the page I am working with.

    Is there anyway I can prevent this as I am using ’attached’ images for some other functionality or is this necessary for your plugin to work?

    Hey,

    Just a feature suggestion/request here. Would it be possible to have a field to assign a custom ”custom field key” for new fields rather than having it auto-assign one that’s proprietary to the plugin? That would make this plugin all the much better and allow us to move our data from plugin to plugin if need be.

    Cheers and great work!

      Hi, I do understand what you’re looking for, but since I myself do not have this need I don’t think this is something I would spend time on. Sorry to dissatisfy, but it would simple be to time consuming. Hope you find the plugin useful anyway!

  49. Profilbild för Joachim Kudish

    To answer Pete’s question above:

    Assuming you have setup a group of fields called ”File” and the field in which you upload your files into is called ”src” than you can do the following (adjust the field names accordingly if need be). Put this in your functions.php template file:
    $file = simple_fields_get_post_group_values(get_the_id(), ”File”, true, 2);
    $imagesrc = wp_get_attachment_url($file[’src’]);

    And then you can include the following wherever you want to include the image in your template files (page.php or single.php, etc… (has to be in the loop though)):
    <img src="” />

    We’ve gone even further with this with some really custom stuff with loops and what not, but this should get you started.
    Good luck!

    hint about what to put in that field. (Similar like when you show
    custom field keys, right below name of custom field) Why, because

    Great plugin, just got it working on my site and its exactly what we were looking for but… as always there is a feature that would be great to have 😉

    For the repeatable field groups would it be possible to add a ”key” field so that you can give each instance of a field group a unique name and then when you return back an array all all the repeatable field groups, you could pull out the correct instance by the key. The reason being that we have multiple blocks of content on a page (not displayed in a sequential list) that all have the same required fields but when you add an field group via the repeater it is added to the top of the list and all the ids of the previous field groups increase by one, which is fine as long as you then move the new field group instance to the bottom but it just leaves room for things to get muddled up. Anyway a key would avoid possible mishaps!

    HOWEVER, when i use the ”search” function to look for a specific image, when i click on insertion button, the image does not go to custom field but straight to the main content area of the article :/

    Is it a bug ? Something that could be corrected ? If so, how … ? : )

    Thanks a lot,

    Christophe

    Hello! Thank you for this amazing plugin!

    I noted 9 months ago you stated at wordpress support you would stop using googlecode for jquery ui. It seems to still be being used.

    As of this week it has been totally killing my dashboard again with 15 second stalls.

    Could I beseech you to please pretty please make the switch?

    Thank you!

    This is how to use simplefields for download links

    <?php $selected_values = simple_fields_get_post_group_values(get_the_id(), "simplefields group name", false,2);
    foreach($selected_values as $value){;
    echo '’ .( $value[1] ). ”;
    echo ’’.( $value[3] ).’’;
    }?>

    what’s going on here?
    This is a simplefields repeatable group which consists of a download title such as ”download our brochure below”, a download title which is the actual link text and a link to the attachment.

    the 3 values are the meta data which simple fields generates.
    value 1 is a text field
    value 2 is a file upload
    value 3 is a text field

    Additionally, separate from simplefields, you can add file icons by using css code similar to this
    a[href$=’.doc’], a[href$=’.DOC’], a[href$=’.docx’], a[href$=’.DOCX’] {
    background:transparent url(/images/MIcrosoft-icon.png) center left no-repeat;
    display:inline-block;
    padding-left:25px;
    line-height:18px;
    }

    This will add icons next to your links without the need for javascript.
    I get alot of resources from the internet and I am extremely grateful for those who write and share code. I hope this helps others.

    Is there a ”update_post_meta()”-equivalent to insert/update simple fields?

    Hi,
    The bug pointed out on this WP forum post is still there:

    http://wordpress.org/support/topic/tintmce-not-working?replies=2

    The bug causes JS errors which break the drag and drop re-ordering of fields. Could this be fixed in the plugin so that we don’t have to edit the plugin code please?

    Thanks!

    Is there a way, to enable picking past dates at the date-field?
    That would help me a lot. Great plugin by the way — exept the ugly datepicker. Shall I send you german language files?

    Hello is it possible to get the search results in xml (because i need the response data in xml as well)
    I’m going to hire someone to code an app, and he wrote.
    ”But I will need a web service that will provide response based on the search query request from mobile. Response data can be either in xml or json.”

    Love your plugin and use it on almost every website I build!

    However, there seems to be some problem that might be related to version 3.3 of WordPress:

    I have a Field Group with a ”File” type field. But when I’m trying to select a file from the Media Library the button to ”Select Image” doesn’t show?

    Thanks in advance!

      Dan,

      I think I’m seeing the same thing. I’ve posted a bug report on the WordPress support forums, too, along with a link to a screen grab:

      http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-fields-cant-select-images-from-library

      Is that what you’re seeing?

          Hey Dan,

          I think I fixed it by adding this code to the top of the Simple Fields plugin’s ”functions_posts.php” file:

          add_filter( ’get_media_item_args’, ’force_send’ );
          function force_send($args) {
          $args[’send’] = true;
          return $args;
          }

          If the code gets stripped out of this reply, just look at the code I posted the WordPress support forum:

            Thanks for this. At first it seemed like it solved the issue, as the ”Select” button was back.

            But now, when I try to select a picture it first opens the media lightbox as a new page (at not as a lightbox at all). When I navigate to a picture and click ”Select” I get a blank white page…

            Anybody else having this issue?

    I cannot open any of the tabs in my post page .. I just upgraded to WP 3.3.1 Is there something I need to do? Is there a update avail for this plugin?

    Hello,

    Thank you kindly for this wonderful plugin. I stopped using it when I upgraded to 3.3.1 but now see you have an update. I installed the update but when I try to +Add field it jumps to the top of the page and doesn’t do anything. It reacts like an anchor link.

    If anyone knows a fix please please share. Thank you again.

    Hello, I have read your tutorial and followed your instructions, however it is not completely working.

    It shows up on the post edit page in admin, but does not show up on the post in the frontend / on website.

    Why do you think it’s doing this?

    Thanks in advanced!

      Try using simple_fields_values instead of simple_fields_value (note the extra ”s” in the first function).
