Custom fields: Best practice for list of links
-
[Title de-capped. Please do not shout at us]
I am a heavy user of custom fields. I am also familiar with add_meta_box technique and many plugin sollutions (such as Custom field template, Flutter, …).
Quite often, I run into a problem with lists of links appended to post such as this:
<!--POST--> <?php the_content(); ?> <ul> <?php $links = get_post_meta($post->ID,'links', false); ?> <?php foreach ($links as $link) { ?> <li><a href="<?php echo $link_adress; ?>"><?php echo $link_text ?></a></li> <?php } ?> </ul>
What I need: simple UI that:
- enables user to create a link as a custom field with “two values” (link adress AND link text). From user experience point of view, WP wysiwyg add-link feature acts great in tis manner.
- is repetitive – maybe “create new box” ajax button would be the way?
- would be callable as easy as custom fields
I believe I am not the only one with such issue, however I wasn’t able to find any sollution even after pretty intensive googling.
Any suggestions would be higly appreciated. Thank you!
