Interesting. I'm doing something similar for a client at the mo. Though
I don't replace the post screen, instead add a separate write/listing
screen as the site still incorporates conventional blog postings. Being
able to change the layout of directory listings later on is something I
hadn't thought about, thanx for that. Pls let us know if/when/with what
you came right else I'll let you know when mine is done - but I'm a wee
bit overloaded right now.<br>

In my mind, the plugin will override the current post-new.php (or "sit
on top" of it). This plugin here is a good start, but does not fully
meet my needs:

<br>
I am using Wordpress as a CMS and I have successfully done so for a
couple years. However my latest project involves using WP as a website
that displays a directory. Each page of the directory needs to be
formatted in a similar way, so the current post-new.php doesn't work
well because the person editing needs to make all the markup identical,
position items identically, and also place tables in correctly.<br>
<br>
Because of this problem, I need to have a simple plugin that operates
in two parts:
<br>
<br>
First Part: Posting Content<br>
Instead of seeing the normal post-new.php page, I need to see a page of
fields at the top, followed by the normal WYSIWYG at the bottom so I
can place images. However I also need to place one image at the top,
next to the title (it will be a logo for the particular business listed
on that directpory page). This means the top part will have the text,
which is formatted by the fields, and the below part has the images
uploaded normally like in the current WP. I have not figured out how to
get that top image on the page, but maybe you have an idea.
<br>
<br>
Some of the fields are textfields, some are URL fields, some are email
fields.<br>
<br>
Second Part: Admin Manage Area<br>
a) Once the plugin is activated, an area will open in the Manage or
Options area that allows me to on-the-fly create/delete fields or
tables that I can use in the creation of the post mentioned above.
Note: if I DELETE a field, it should also be deleted in any posts I
already made... just like a good CMS. :)
<br>
<br>
b) I can also adjuest how the fields are positioned and the HTML
surrounding them. For example if I have 5 fields like %%a%%, %%b%%,
%%c%%, %%d%%, and %%e%% I should have an area where I layout the HTML
surrounding those fields. For example I might say:
<h2>%%a%%</h2><br>Business:
<i>%%b%%</i><br>Location: %%c%%, %%d%%<br>URL:
<a href="%%e%%">%%e%%</a>
<br>
<br>
An important point: after I have made many posts, if I decide to change
the layout, it should also immediately change the layout on all
previous posts, as well as of course the future posts. Because of this,
I think maybe the easiest way to format is directly in the template
page for the "
post.php", so that means the variables used above like %%a%% need to
work well in WP and the templates.<br>
<br>
I think plugins like this are already basically available, but I need
something like above that is simple and easy to upgrade when WP gets
upgraded. :)
<br>
<br>
Pls let me know asap if you can do this project (please put "[WP Plugin
Request]" at the beginning of the subject of your email to me and also
let me know how quickly and the price. I know this is something that
can be done relatively quickly.
<br>
<br>
tks!<br>
