Unlimited HTML Content Boxes

  • I would like to have multiple “Content Boxes” available to enter content either on a page or in a post.

    I found a plugin which adds a second “Content Box”, but not a third, fourth, fifth, etc. If I knew PHP, I would figure out how to extent this plugin to accommodate unlimited “Content Boxes”. Can anyone help with a solution?

    Here’s the plugin I found:
    Secondary HTML Content

    Once again, I answered my own question. I found Custom Field Template plugin that works perfect! The only problem is that there are no good instructions on how to use it. (FYI, I am using WP 2.9.1 with plugin version 1.5.5.)

    Here are my basic, simple instructions on how to use Custom Field Template. Please let me know if this works for you!

    Add to the “functions.php” file:

    // Get Custom Field Template Values
function getCustomField($theField) {
	global $post;
	$block = get_post_meta($post->ID, $theField);
	if($block){
		foreach(($block) as $blocks) {
			echo $blocks;
		}
	}
}

    Set Up Template:
    In WordPress: Settings > Custom Field Template

    [Block #1]
type = textarea
rows = 8
tinyMCE = true
?
[Block #2]
type = textarea
rows = 8
tinyMCE = true

[Block #3]
type = textarea
rows = 8
tinyMCE = true

etc....

    Delete “etc….” in Custom Field Template settings.

    Call a content Area in page:

    <?php
$block = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Block #1');
foreach(($block) as $blocks) {
echo $blocks;
}
?>

    Hope this helps someone!

    Wish granted. The plug-in now allows up to 5 HTML blocks on posts and / or pages.
