Erik Petersen of TRILOS reached out to me today about Verve Meta Boxes. As the developer of the plugin I must apologize for not keeping it updated. I have been working at a startup which takes all my time. Here are some things I can tell you:

The timthumb security vulnerability was removed in version 1.2.9.

I currently run Verve Meta Boxes on a busy version 3.3.1 wordpress site – ymmv however.

I plan on putting the plugin on Github this week. Will post here the location of the archive when I do. If you have less than version 1.2.9, please email me (you can find my email at the bottom of my site: avenueverve.com), and I will send you a zip archive.

Thank you Rein, Hiroki and all for this. I’ve applied the patch and updated timthumb.php to version 2.0.

It has been hard for me to maintain this plugin, overloaded with work — a good thing — but still. Problem is I don’t have time to test everything. I am including a link to the updated plugin here. If people are kind enough to test then I will upload it to svn. I humbly apologize for not being able to do the testing.

I am actually so happy that other people are making good plugins to address this functionality. I wrote vmb since at the time there was nothing available and I needed the functionality.

hi taghaboy,

when you have multiple values, you will need them back in an array. so do put FALSE in get_post_meta, rather than TRUE (TRUE returns a single value). Also change the foreach statement to:

foreach($var_offres as $offre) :

here is the complete code snippet:

<?php $var_offres = get_post_meta($post->ID, "offres", FALSE); foreach($var_offres as $offre) : ?>
		<?php if($offre !== '') { ?>
			<li><?php echo $offre; ?></li>
		<?php } ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Hi anointed,

The updated plugin looks for post types that support custom-fields. I changed this from polling the posts table to glean the custom post types available as that was more of a hack, this way is more in alignment with the wordpress way.

To update already existing post types to include custom fields support you can run this script:

<?php
add_post_type_support( 'your_post_type_here', array('custom-fields') );
?>

So when creating the post type one must also specify the ‘supports’ => array(‘custom-fields’) argument.

Custom Post Type UI plugin will allow you to specify the ‘supports’ arguments:

add_action('init', 'my_custom_init');
function my_custom_init() {
    $args = array(
        'label' => __('Albums'),
        'singular_label' => __('Album'),
        'public' => true,
        'show_ui' => true,
        'capability_type' => 'page',
        'hierarchical' => false,
        'rewrite' => true,
        'supports' => array('title', 'thumbnail','custom-fields') /// <<< custom-fields needs to be supplied here.
        );

    register_post_type( 'album' , $args );
}
