Usability Suggestion: Ajax Saving on Pages & Post Types

    If you can,

    It would be a lot better to be able to save on page and post types to the plugin organizer settings for that post type the same way plugin organizer saves on its setting pages.

    I find myself time to time adjusting the plugins to load on a page or post type, but always having to adjust the plugins, save the post, wait for that to tick over, then refresh the page to view the changes.

    It would be nice to just adjust the plugin organizer settings for that page or post type and hit the plugin organizer save button the view my changes.

    Thoughts?

    So do you mean have a checkbox on the post edit screen that sets all posts that are the same post type as the one you are editing to match it?

    No.

    I mean just to save the settings for that specific post.

    Right now you have to save the actual post for the metabox settings of that post to take place.

    I would like to just hit a save button, similar to saving the plugin load order, but on an individual post. This way we don’t have to actually save the post to see our new changes.

    Make sense?

    If possible. I’m not sure how saving a post at the same time ties into saving the plugin organizer metabox settings at the same time.

    A scenario may make this clearer….

    I create my home page.
    I publish my home page.
    My home page has a slider.
    I see that my slider is not displaying.
    I see that I have the slider plugin turned off in the plugin organizer metabox on the homepage.

    Here’s the twist…

    Instead of turning on the slider plugin for the homepage and having to save the post for that change to take place I would like to turn on the slider plugin and hit an ajax save button (like in your settings area) and that would update the home page with the slider turned on. This way I don’t have to save the actual post just for turning on the slider.

    Make sense?

    Yes. I don’t want to do that in the release I’m working on now. I’ve got enough changes in it already. I can look at putting that in a future release.
