Inserting links and textareas in to article tab

variaas · 2006-01-20 03:27:58

I’m trying to figure out the best way to do this. I am trying to create another interface for writing articles that is specific to our process. I can utilize custom fields, but from a usability view, I have to move where all the boxes are. Do I need to do something similar to what the replace_file plugin does and just rewrite the entire article page?

Any suggestions?

If you have very specific needs, you may want to write a plugin that open a new admin tab, and handle articles writing/editing from within that tab.

If you needs are “light”, you may want to write a plugin that edit the DOM on the fly, moving things around (with CSS) on the article tab. It should be easier than the first option.

would you recommend any references for how to edit the DOM on the fly?

I couldn’t, it not really my area of expertise. Look at some of the admin plugins around here, I believe some are doing things like that.
