Custom Post Types and Custom Fields creator – WCK
Description
The WordPress Creation Kit consists of three tools that can help you create and maintain custom post types, custom taxonomies, and custom fields and metaboxes for your posts, pages, or custom post types.
The WCK Custom Fields Creator offers an interface for setting up custom meta boxes with various field types for your posts. You can show custom fields using code or with the Swift Templates module.
The WCK Custom Post Type Creator simplifies the process of creating custom post types by providing an interface for most of the arguments of the register_post_type function.

With support for various custom field types, including WYSIWYG editors and file uploads, you can create custom fields for any post type. The plugin also supports Repeater Fields and Repeater Groups, allowing for a flexible data structure.

FAQ
Let’s consider we have a meta box with the following arguments:
– Meta name: books
– Post Type: post
And we also have two fields defined:
– A text custom field with the Field Title: Book name
– And another text custom field with the Field Title: Author name
You will notice that slugs will automatically be created for the two text fields. For ‘Book name’ the slug will be ‘book-name’ and for ‘Author name’ the slug will be ‘author-name’
Let’s see what the code for displaying the meta box values in single.php of your theme would be:
<?php $books = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'books', true ); foreach( $books as $book){ echo $book['book-name'] . '<br/>'; echo $book['author-name'] . '<br/>'; }?> So as you can see the Meta Name ‘books’ is used as the $key parameter of the function get_post_meta() and the slugs of the text fields are used as keys for the resulting array. Basically CFC stores the entries as custom fields in a multidimensional array. In our case the array would be:
<?php array( array( "book-name" => "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy", "author-name" => "Douglas Adams" ), array( "book-name" => "Ender's Game", "author-name" => "Orson Scott Card" ) );?> This is true even for single entries.
