Quick edit is just that… “Quick”, if you need to adjust other bits then use the full editor…
Thanks. It shows everything else but custom fields edit so I was wondering if there is a way… I’ve got about 17k entries that I need to add picture to! 🙂
I don’t think there’s an easy way no… Someone might be able to write a custom script to do it be it a plugin or core file hack, but i’m not aware of any that exist, sorry…
It’s possible to add in extra fields with the quick_edit_custom_box action hook, but it’s fairly involved, and as far as I can see, you can’t get the current post id while in quick edit, so you can’t populate the field with the current value..
Great Answer Pet 🙂
I still believe the quickedit and quickpress will more valuable if its have :
1. categories
2. custom fields
Hope in next release 😀
I agree leksa – if we could get a post id passed in with the quick_edit_custom_box hook, it would be great. As it is, if you’re really ambitious, you can get javascript to use the parent id of the quickedit box to populate your custom fields with values pulled from an ajax call – but it’s about as backwards as you can do things.
Hi Invisiontech.
Have you tried custom field template. You can make a quick edit template for custom fields, but you’ll still have to go through all 17K posts.
Miklas.
Can someone give an example how quick_edit_custom_box is used? I tried with no success, also I couldn’t find anything in the documentation..
Can anyone provide more info about the “quick_edit_custom_box” hook?
I really would like to know how to add a custom field to the quick/bulk edit menu.
Cheers
