 * Marko,
 * I’m a little confused about using tabify with the Types plugin. I found your 
   post on the Types site and I saw that on Github you’ve been working this week
   to get some more stuff done on that front and you also have this bit in the FAQ
   here on the repository page
 * `add_filter( 'tabify_plugin_support', '__return_true' );`
 * How/where do I deploy that filter? Is out-of-the-box support for Types coming
   a future update? I love your plugin, it makes things nice and tidy, but I can
   seem to figure what to do next.

 * That filter can be placed in your own plugin or in the theme functions.php.
    
   That only allows the basic functionality from what I have tested.
 * Also I have no clue about what Types want to do. I already created a patch for
   them to fix their issues but till now I didn’t got any response at it. I modified
   their plugin what you can find here: [https://github.com/markoheijnen/types/tree/use-hook-add_meta_boxes](https://github.com/markoheijnen/types/tree/use-hook-add_meta_boxes).
   That one should work perfect with Tabify Edit Screen.
 * It’s not my problem to solve. Thats also why I have a filter to allow some plugin
   support. I don’t enable that by default for possible issues later on.

 * Okay, thank for the feedback.
 * I’m going to push the guys at Types hard to fix this and work with you. They 
   have such a useful plugin, but they should be using standards to ensure its broadly
   compatible. It’s unfortunate and frustrating when plugin developers start doing
   really proprietary stuff in their coding.

 * In this case they don’t use the correct way of adding meta boxes with the filter‘
   add_meta_boxes’. And because of that they now check if they are on the edit post
   page.

 * I wanted to add that I downloaded and installed your modified version of Types
   and I’m really impressed. I’ve got a custom post type with nearly 30 custom fields
   in different sections. Your plugin really shines and makes that interface totally
   understandable and usable now.
 * I hope the Types folks accept your patch, I know other custom post type plugin
   developers have, they really should be now different.
 * Thank you for creating such a useful and impressive plugin!

 * I guess Types is the only plugin left what doesn’t work. I love Pods Framework
   the most since the developer came to me for fixing it.
 * Hoping they will fix it soon so there is one plugin less what doesn’t work with
   my plugin.
