Bin-BlogAutofields WordPress Plugin
By Binny V A • Nov 18th, 2008 • Category: Blogging, Scripts, WordPress
AutoFields Plugin will auto fill the Excerpt and add an Image custom field based on the data you entered into the contents editor. This plugin will set the first paragraph of the content as the excerpt and take the first image(if there are any) and set it as the ‘Image’ custom field(needed for some themes - like Mimbo - my theme). When you hit the publish button, it will check to make sure that excerpt and Image custom field are filled. If not, it will ask you to confirm before publishing the post.
If you are new to this blog, this is the Plugin Week. I am going to release one wordpress plugin each day, every day for one week(ie. Monday to Friday). Each day you will get a new plugin by me. This is the second plugin in this series. The first one was Eventr Plugin

This is what I have been seeking for.
One question then, can we also config the image custom field cz some themes need different codes?
Great idea for a plug-in. It doesn’t work for other themes because the custom field for the image isn’t defined.
Will this plugin work if you are importing articles via an rss importer such as wp-o-matic or simply importing them from an xml file?
The link, displayed on the installed plugins page, to your site goes to http://binnyva.com/ and not to this blog.
I’m using wordpress 2.7
@Gofree
You have to change the code of the plugin for that. Can you give me a list of the other custom field values used in other plugins?
@g
It will not work when importing articles - sorry - you will have to edit them manually.
About the link, that’s ok - its the authors url - not the plugin url.
