Force Fields extends the wonderful More Fields plugin by allowing developers to hide or show input boxes created by More Fields on a per template basis.
Requires More Fields 2.0.5 or higher.
You can choose to only show specific boxes or omit specific boxes, on a per template basis. Default box sets can be set up in your theme's page.php file.
How to use
After installing More Fields, create as many boxes as you would like, assigning their Used with post types option to Page.
Showing specific boxes
Open one of your template files and edit the header comment, adding the Fields directive.
/*
Template Name: Example
Fields: 'Example More Fields Box' 'Example Box 2'
*/Notice the Fields line, it specifies which boxes should be visible for this template—all other boxes will be hidden. The name specified for the box in the Fields directive comes from the Title of the box option for the More Fields box. You could alternatively use the ID generated by More Fields. Single or double quote marks are OK.
The above Fields directive could also be written as:
/*
Template Name: Example
Fields: only 'Example More Fields Box' 'Example Box 2'
*/Notice the extra word only; it's optional, but you can add it in if you want to be extra specific.
Hiding specific boxes
Where the only option will show the specified boxes, hiding all others, the omit option works in reverse: showing all the boxes except the specified ones.
/*
Template Name: Example
Fields: omit 'Example Box 2'
*/The above Fields directive will show all boxes on the page edit screen except Example Box 2.
Many boxes can, of course, be omitted:
/*
Template Name: Example
Fields: omit 'Example Box 2' 'Example Box 3'
*/Hiding all boxes
All the boxes can be hidden for a template using the omit-all option.
/*
Template Name: Example
Fields: omit-all
*/Defaults and page.php
By putting the Fields directive in the page.php file, you can set default boxes for pages that use the default template, or don't specify their own Fields directive.
Just add something like this to the top of your page.php:
/*
Fields: 'Example Box 3'
*/
