WPReady

<p>The plugin works similar as shortcodes with important differences:</p>
<ul>
<li>It looks for any tag in the post with the following format: <strong>{cf your_custom_field_name=your_custom_field_value}</strong></li>
<li>For any tag found, it create a custom field for that post.</li>
<li>The tag is erased from the post.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How to use</h4>
<p>Type in anywhere in a post:<br />
{cf your_custom_field_name=your_custom_field_value}</p>
<p>Examples:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>{cf thumbnail=http://wordpressready.com/wp-content/uploads/oneringtorulethemall.jpg}</strong></li>
<li><strong>{cf posticon=/wp-content/uploads/posticon.ico}</strong></li>
<li><strong>{cf my_custom_color=#22fb30}</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>This three examples written inside the post will create three custom fields with respectives values<br />
when you publish the post.<br />
After publishing, the tag inside the post are deleted. No other information is erased.</p>
<h4>Notes</h4>
<ul>
<li>Because the way the plugin works, it will run fine with ANY desktop blogger(Windows Live Writer, Scribefire, Qumana, w.Bloggar, Zoundry<br />
, Thingamablog, Blod Desk, Flock, Post2Blog, Bleezer, you name it)</li>
<li>The plugin can be used even inside the wordpress editor (though what would it be the point?)</li>
<li>You can use any number of custom field for post. </li>
<li>Reserved characters: ‘{cf’ and ‘}’,because it conflicts with the delimiters.</li>
<li>After the post, the tags are automatically erased.</li>
<li>If the custom field is already present, its value will be replaced.</li>
</ul>

Allows adding custom fields from ANY desktop blog editor even if the editor can't support custom fields!
