Adding custom fields to sections

Until now, if I had reason to apply a custom field to a section (note: the section itself, not the articles inside it), I’ve used variables in forms and pages.

Is there a method (a plugin, perhaps) to have custom field support at a section-level?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Adding custom fields to sections

I’ve not yet looked at the arc_meta plugin, from the introduction it seems like there’ll be a custom field created for sections. And there’s of course the esq_sectionsort plugin whose sort field could be smd_queried if not needed for its actual use.

Re: Adding custom fields to sections

Re esq_sectionsort I’ll have to be more precise: It’s the previous version that can be used to fill in its fields. The v2 has a drag’n‘drop interface instead of the text fields.

Would mck_snippet fit the bill?
