** Development on this plugin will discontinue July 1, 2013 **
This plugin (currently in beta stage) is intended as a developers framework - it's goal to turn WordPress into more of a CMS by adding a wide range of functionalities, settings, and functions to easily:
- Add (dynamic) Custom Post Types directly within a WordPress Page - below the pages main content
- Serve as a Development Framework - housing an assortment of presets with an extensive admin settings page
- Simplifying WordPress, but adding options to cut down unneeded admin items
- Visit: hey-you.ca
Elaborating on some primary features, heyyou:
- Creation of Dynamic Custom Post Types:
- option on every page, directly within that page, to add page-specific custom post types on the fly, with wide range of preset and meta configuration options,
- built-in per-page-pagination for longer lists of posts, directly within a page
- drag and drop ordering of posts
- create categories of posts within a page
- add "attachments" with a checkbox to create galleries for posts
- an interface to eaisly add meta fields to posts lists, ie: "Age", "Avatar"
- outputting: a simple textarea with
%macro%
's placeholders and HTML for formatting the posts output (useful for: FAQ, Staff Listing, Press Releases, ect.) - outputting: can bypass default %macros% output and use PHP in your theme instead
- importing/exporting for transferring/duplicating page configurations
- Custom Media Library:
- Media items listed as a simplified grid thumbnails,
- Cleaned CSS for showing file information
- Media Categories
- Sort media items into categories
- functions for listing media items in dropdown menu for dynamic forms
- Page Options (Options in setting page to add the following into a pages 'heyyou page settings' metabox):
- Add secondary blurb to pages (to use in template)
- Add Twitter / Facebook social buttons
- Dynamic Page Meta Field(s) (for things like having a page "Photo Credit" meta field - easier to use than WordPress's custom fields)
- Hide WordPress Page title
- Hide WordPress Page Content (.entry-content)
- Set a hexadecimal color (for themes that use a different color on every page)
- Add Attachments to page
- Disable auto placement of attachments
- Settings Page with options to:
- Configure which metaboxes user types have access to and receive by default (hiding client unnecessary metaboxes like WordPress News and Plugin Widget Feed)
- Adding a (visually attractive) under construction "Notice" banner to site
- Edit Admin Menu / Navigations (to remove menu items like "Tools" or "Links" if irrelevant for your theme)
- Edit main < meta > keyword/description
- Setup database-to-email backup
- (TinyMCE) Add dynamic styles to TinyMCE via easy to use GUI (i.e.: add "Blue Italic" to your themes styled drop down)
- Include < scripts > via check-box for technologies (like Mootools, Attachments)
- Add Featured &or Secondary images for your theme's pages &or posts (no more remembering function)
- Add Excerpts on page (no more remembering function)
- Miscellaneous:
- Adds Greeting Widget
- TinyMCE gets simplified / limited buttons to a single row, new 'line' button to split content
- Creates "Sub-Admin" and "Client" user types
- & much much more.. (documentation still being written)
- Cleans up HTML header info outputted by wp_head()
- Outputs the dynamic custom post types under their corresponding pages
- Adds .mobile class to < body > when detected

CREDIT: External Plugins
The following plugins are hard coded into heyyou - they were edited enough that they are no longer updatable.. a thousand thank you's to the authors, please check out their and if you have money to donate, I highly recommend visiting any of these three sites and pledging there.. heyyou will print a function already exists error if any of the following plugins are used.
- Jonathan Christopher's Attachment Plugin
- included directly into the plugins core- with an option to turn it off - the interface for attachments was majorly altered to a simplified thumbnail grid, and many edits where written in the plugins source to handle and play nicely with the media categories.
- Hart Associates (Rick Mead)'s Media Categories
- integrated directly into the plugins core and manipulated to work with plugin more effectively
- Chris Scott's Multiple Post Thumbnails
- built into heyyou as well, for adding secondary images in a single click
