This request only makes sense, so I've changed the main source to accommodate this feature:

Thanks Jeff!

I love the product, and I saw that you guys recently opened up an API to the public for your analytics which is very cool. It could make for a fun WordPress dashboard plugin, showing analytical AddThis social stats for that site.

Hey Devin,

Lately I've been tinkering with the Hybrid theme by Justin Tadlock. I'm still undecided about which parent/child framework I may standardize. I like your Thematic Theme Options Panel article, that's a great idea. I almost see it as an area to define a "global custom field". Have you ever tried adding advanced fields in there, like a WYSIWYG?

I'm still a little turned off to the idea of using hooks and filters to edit XHTML code via PHP. I do a lot of customized CMS setups, and it's much quicker and easier to process if you just edit the XHTML code itself. I know the whole stigma behind keeping things independent of upgrades, but I haven't quite decided if it's worth all the extra effort.

Thanks again for the input, and keep up the nice work on your blog!

That's Great Devin! I've used it for similar situations. Currently all I use for added fields is Flutter or Pods, depending on the situation.

Thanks David,

I have checked out Pods and agree that's likely the best option out there for most customized scenarios. The fact that it allows you to create entirely new post types, rather than building on top of current "Pages" and "Posts" can be more intuitive for CMS users, and better for database performance to my understanding.

The last time I checked out the Pods CMS plugin I found the interface a unintuitive and a bit more difficult than some of the other options out there. I've heard that Pods UI is supposed to be a solution to this.

Lately I've been using Flutter, and love the ability to duplicate Write Panels and custom fields. Can Pods handle that sort of thing?

Thanks for the post, it's very helpful. I'll have to explore pods a little more.

Thanks for this bill, I've added it to the post and placed the code in a source viewer.

Can't say I know a fix for that fresh, even a tough one. You may want to consider digging around stackoverflow.com for some similar scenarios:

<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=jquery+fadeIn+IE">Stackoverflow.com search for "jQuery fadeIn IE"

If you can't find anything I'd post a new entry. Stackoverflow has been incredibly helpful for me, especially with advanced jQuery scenarios like this.

Best of luck and thanks for posting!

pageMash may actually be a better option than the Page Tree plugin.
