I just tossed up the first version of my new wordpress plugin, Templ33t, which adds tabs to the page editor for custom content blocks you can define in templates for any theme.
It’s based on Page.ly‘s MultiEdit plugin, which was a great start to what I needed to get done. Take a look at the project page to see the documentation or download.
Hey, I just saw your Templ33t plugin on WordPress. I would love to use it on my site, but I cannot get it to work. I’m missing something.
So far I have downloaded the plugin, unzipped the templ33t.0.1.zip file and copied the templ33t folder that was inside that to my plugins folder. In the plugins dashboard, I activated the Templ33t plugin.
Then I created a templ33t.xml file in Dreamweaver like this:
single.php
Main Content
Who
What
When
Where
Why
How
…and saved it to my wp-content\themes directory
Then I put this code in my single.php template file:
When I go to create a new post or page, I do not see tabs, like in your example.
What did I miss?
Thank you.
Hiya, Larry
The templ33t.xml file should be placed in the active theme directory. For example, if you are using the Twenty Ten theme, you would place the xml file in wp-content/themes/twentyten directory. This allows you to create different configurations for different themes.
Also, I would recommend copying your code from single.php to a new file called page.php if it doesn’t already exist. Single.php is used for posts as well as pages but Templ33t currently only supports pages. If you have a page.php template, WordPress uses that file by default, as does Templ33t.
I will be releasing a new version of the plugin very soon (later today or tomorrow) that will replace the xml file with an easy to use settings page for administrators. Stay tuned and please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thanks!
