Very nice!
I think I’m gonna use it considered that and I think you should mention it in the first post it’s working perfectly with sed_section_fields (“static” sections defined in sed_section_fields are not shown, wow!).
Tha… ehm, I’ll be grateful forever ;)

edit: Oops! sorry only now I realized that only sections that have feeds enabled are shown in the list, so it has nothing to do with sed_section_fields. Anyway usually sections that are set as static with sed_section don’t have feeds enabled so it’s all ok

I’m using several plugins other plugins, including glz_custom_fields, and sed_section_fields. I’m getting one bug when using rah_write_each_section: My custom fields for the “selected by default” section appear when I click through the write tab, regardless of which section I choose. If I select a different section from the drop-down, and then re-select the section I’m in, I get the right fields.

Sorry, Gocom— I guess I forgot to click “subscribe to thread” and missed your response.

I’m not sure I explained my problem clearly. Here is some more detail:

• I have several custom fields. Some are related to Section X and some are related to Section Y.
• In my Sections tab under Presentation, Section Y is marked “Selected by default.”
• I use sed_section_fields to change which fields display on the Write page (Content > Write), depending on what section is selected. When I choose “Section X“ from the select menu on the Write page, I get the custom fields related to Section X. When I choose “Section Y“ from the select menu on the Write page, I get the custom fields related to Section Y.

This setup works fine before I activate rah_write_each_section.

• When rah_write_each_section is active, I select the section before the Write tab loads.
• If I select Section Y, I see the custom fields related to Section Y. But if I select Section X, I also get the custom fields related to Section Y. I can change the fields that load by default by changing the “Selected by Default” marker in the Sections tab under Presentation.
• If I choose any section other than the “Selected by Default” section, the appropriate custom fields load only if I change the section using the select menu, and change it back to the right section.

Does that make sense?

My main reason for using rah_write_each_section is so that my client can select the right section before writing— because two main sections use very different custom fields. Is there any way to get this to play well with sed_section_fields?

I agree that it’s not a bug, just an idiosyncrasy in my particular user-experience. For this project, I’ve disabled it. If one of the contributors clicks the wrong section by mistake, they will still see the custom fields of the default section, and the only cue that they chose the wrong section could be easily overlooked.

It would be great to let users select the section before entering the article information, but for this project that’s contingent on the appropriate custom fields loading based on the section selected.
