I would encourage anyone wanting to use custom fields extensively to take a look at 'Custom Write Panel' by Joshua. The link is available at: http://rhymedcode.net/proje... It takes a lot of pain out of writing posts with lots of custom fields! :)

i worked on the organization of an architectural contest, aimed to young professionals and backed up by the government. Today, the jury decided that none of the entries was worth winning, none of them filled the jury's expectations. But, since it wasn't defined on the contest convocation it couldn't be declared as desert. So, the jury HAD to select and award the as stated on the convocation, respecting the time wasted by people who submitted their entries.

Yeah, this would be a great idea to try again.

You could have Mark J. as one of the judges too. There are plenty of WP hackers out there that should be able to help out. Chris Davis to be another in the list.

Aaron, give this another try please!

So... despite the lack of critical mass, is there any code to be seen?

Dave and all-

I apologize for not updating things. The truth is there were several problems.

1) There really were not a critical mass of entrants.
2) Only one judge ended up being available to make a decision in the end.

At the end of the day, despite trying to make this competition worth it to the community, I have to recognize that there were some great entries but the situation demands that the competition be cancelled without a winner. Props to those that did enter and I'll take the blame for it not working out. MAybe a good idea at the wrong time.

I am excited to see what the developers have come up with. Perhaps they could list the plugins here, even if the contest results haven't been tabulated.

Hmm.. I am using WP to list projects and custom fields give me the functionality to add aditional info about a project, eg, Project Type, End Date, Manager, etc.. to use them I came up writing a plugin that enables me to search for a project using the info within the custom fields..

You can try the plugin: http://kamvajag.lv/programm...

Totally my fault here. Too much travel. Too many weddings. Too much stuff happening and I let it slide. My fault.

I've forwarded the entries to the judges and hope to hear back soon.

Aaron .. I won't be entering, but I'd still like to learn a little about this .. that link you posted (http://wordpress.org/search... comes up empty. Do you have a URL in codex? Are they fixing it up or something? I'm getting blanks on all searches.

No existing projects? Too bad :) I've made a really effective use of the custom fields.

Custom fields are a very useful WP feature.

I use custom fields for posting code snippets. I can throw anything in a custom field, html for example, without having to escape it. Then I use an enzyme for displaying the highlighted code in the content of the post.

Custom fields allow me to encapsulate additional content without making a mess of the post content. Enzymes make it easy to transclude that content at display time, where I want it to appear in that post.

But there is one thing I dislike: the interface. WP 2.1 is much better than 2.0 in this respect, very smooth the ajax thing, but I'd like to have more space for editing them (kind of tricky to edit anyting using only three lines). If they were inside tabs, they'll eat up much less space as a whole, too.

Awesome! I've been wanting to learn more about custom fields for a while, and I've been wanting to re-design my blog too. So this is the perfect incentive to start working on that! Thanks for making this contest. :)

Go search the Codex. ;)

This is a little emberassing, but do you have a link to a WP page that has additional information on Custom Fields? I have no idea what you're talking about but would love to participate!
